YSTV brought 13 members - twice as many as [[NaSTA 2016|the previous year]] - of which all but one had never attended NaSTA before, and despite for the first time in 16 years not winning any awards, a fun and at least somewhat inspiring time was had. | ||

The process of submitting the NASTA submissions was, as to be expected, very stressful. Many submissions were not submitted until right up to the last hour. Ask [[Adam Tye]] for more details. Organising getting a load of YSTV members to the conference turned out, unsurprisingly, to be a logistical nightmare. [[Sam Willcocks]] took one look at the ticket prices including hotels, and decided to find Airbnbs for a similar price, proceeded to try to organise people who wanted to go into groups on a mass spreadsheet. (Somewhat inevitably the 'Nasta Party' spreadsheet fell victim to memes and party parrots very quickly) In the end, after some tense moments when committee members left tickets and accommodation to the very last minute, YSTV descended on Birmingham... at different times... and off several different trains. | The process of submitting the NASTA submissions was, as to be expected, very stressful.
