If you go onto most schools/ colleges you will find that sort of fencing around them - I used to work for a local authority and each year we spent about at least ?1/2m each year. Usually to keep undersirables out. Admitedly that was a 6th form college but with child protection issues most schools are like fort knox nowadays in order to keep kids in and to protect them from all the families issues you can imagine it all stems from that teacher that was stabbed in wolverhampton area protecting a child several years ago

I similarly worked for a local authority at the time it seemd almost every school was adding security fencing, mainly I think in response to parent pressure more than anything else.
Interestingly one headmistress whose school gate was at the end of a long dead end asked us to install higher fencing on top of the playground wall you had to walk past to get to the entrance. I thought this was for a similar purpose but it turned out the school had a problem with parents throwing their small children over the wall to avoid walking with them all the way to the entrance

Just to pitch in.
The schools facilities were excellent in the layout this year, that we had 4 lecture theatres/space, there was a great social space around the bar for those who wanted to gather (thats what conferences are for; networking) plus an opportunity to jump around, stomp, rave, dance, whatever, + remove your tshirt, and erm socialise if you wanted, plus an outdoor area outside the bar; we even managed a beer in the sunshine! Space for the photo/art salon to have an opportunity to show its importance for once and a great trade hall with space for the srt and artificial cave.
What more do you want?
Imho this was one of the better venues
Its hard to cater for over 1000 delegate days for a lively crowd who want to hang from the rafters, party all night, are noisy until the early hours, park up, camp on the lawn and pay 2 squids for their beer. Credit to the organisers in my opinion.
