Baal Heathrow has direct bus link although gatwick isn't too difficult either due to direct Waterloo-Reading trains.

Cool. I think I might try to come down too if Lukasz, Edd and other players from up north are going.

Anybody recommend somewhere to stay near the venue?

Cheers

John

Reading centre isn't that big - I can't actually recall any of the hotels I used to stagger past but if you use some random online search engine you should find something reasonably central without being too pricey!

There's certainly a Novotel (I've stayed in it, it's fine but not the cheapest) and an Ibis. Both within a fairly easy walk of the train station and the pub.
