The convention last year was fantastically relaxed, fun, good for money and well attended - you should definitely make it this summer!

Unless tragedy hits i will be there this year. Too many years ive planned to do it with an old friend and he kept pulling out so i never went, then the 1 year i did pluck up the guts to go solo as i said illness stopped me, ima lock myself away for a month in a sterile room to make sure i get there this time lol
Best of it is i only live 20 mins from Birmingham and am there all the time anyways so its not even like i gotta put travel expenses in.

Some sad news from the UK shores of Auto Assembly
headquarters and its founder Simon Plumbe: the biggest, largest, busiest convention in Europe will see its 2015 edition as the final one, at least for the foreseeable future. More announcements will be made in the coming weeks, but read on below and
here to find out more about this unfortunate, but understandable and very well motivated, decision.
Hi everyone,
It’s with a great deal of sadness and after a lot of deliberation over the last couple of months, that we have to bring you the news that this year’s convention, Auto Assembly 2015, is going to be our last. Auto Assembly has been running for a long time – 15 years in fact – and has grown immensely since its humble beginnings at the Ibis Hotel in Birmingham when just 31 fans attended the first event run on 22nd October 2000 by myself and Sven Harvey.
[...]
Here at Auto Assembly We’re all committed to making Auto Assembly 2015 something really spectacular and even though We may be bringing the event to a close, we’re certainly planning on going out with a bang!
We will be bringing you updates and information on what will be happening to Auto Assembly over the coming weeks and posting an FAQ here on the website to answer all of the questions that we know all of you are bound to have about what is happening but rest assured that this year’s convention won’t be the last you’ll see of the name Auto Assembly!

Well, I guess this'll be my first, and last, Auto Assembly. Never had the chance, nor the funds, to go before, but I've saved up this time. Well, I'm sure it'll be a memorable one!

Ever since 2010 when I started listening to the Moonbase podcast I put it on my bucket list to attend an Auto Assembly. Sadly that I can't do it this year so that dream is shattered...

Do they give a reason for why it's going to come to an end?

Va'al appears to have cut out a substantial part of the official announcement.
Basically, they state this has happened due to health issues and simply not being able to have the time to organise everything anymore with everything else happening in their lives.
I believe AA has simply become too successful. It's been fun, and mad props to the guys and gals who run it. This year shall simply have to be the grandest one of them all.

Intentionally, yes.
I cut parts out of articles so that people can go read the original at the source, allowing for views to both Seibertron.com and the originating website.
