If part of a group it was great, I wasn't so it was awful.

All the activities were flooded out by people who went in groups. I went as a disabled singleton and could not get on ANY of the activities - every time I tried, the room was full of a group from somewhere and I just couldn't get a chance to do anything. I spent most of my time sitting in the cafeteria with a diet Coke! Had this problem last year too - PLEASE make these things more singleton friendly! Bad day for me, seemed great for all the others. 2 stars for the cafeteria - it was clean (but overpriced!)
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
Everything seemed accessible but I'm not in a wheelchair. The access to the actual activities if you were not part of a group - totally pathetic. I never got to do ANYTHING all day. Went to another venue, had exactly the same problem - only groups get good access to events. Awful.
Parking & Transport
Average
Nearest bus stop just down the road.
Accessible Toilets
Good
Loos were great - no complaints there. Clean, paper present, good lighting.
Staff
Poor
Nope, everyone kept telling me to come back, all the events were fully taken up by groups, no room for a singleton. I never got to do anything, I could've done trampolining but it messes up my balance when I stop! Everything else, fully booked all the time I was there. Complete waste of time going if you're on your own.
Additional Information
Sure there are improvements to make, Make room for singletons. Not everyone comes in a group with a handful of helpers. Some of us make our own way. We don't want to be treated as third-class citizens just because we're not part of a club. I thought I'd get to do SOMETHING during the day besides drink a can of Coke!
