[Lancaster] Fw: Bletchley Park visit (was [lugmaster] WolvesLug'sday out.....)

[Mark Williams]

The visit to Bletchley Park on Sat 9th May proposed by WolvesLUG is going ahead,
with other Lugs meeting up. Lancaster people expressed some interest at that
time, so I've collated some recent mails from the lugmaster list. We may well
discuss it at the meeting tonight. Note that the Museum of Computing is separate
but on the same site.

Checking the Wolves LUG website it looks like this is going ahead still.
There should be a contingent from Leicester too, probably a couple of
cars worth or so.

I think we're planning on getting there for 9.30 so we'll see you there.

Cheers

Some members of MKLUG should be there too.  Can the people organising the groups
from Wolves and Leicester contact me off-list and if we can exchange mobile
numbers in case there is any problems on the day.

Thanks

Gavin
Lugmaster, MKLUG

We had some people interested from Newark LUG - I'm guessing a car of
us would go.


Kind Regards,

Dave Morley has indicated that he has arranged a guided tour of Bletchley Park
and a meal, but it would be worth fitting in the Museum of Computing too, see
the mail below from one of the guys at there.

Hi Adam,
<snip>

Our routine for the computer museum is to do work and group meeting in
the morning, then open to the public from 1pm.
We would hope you are happy to fit in with this, but I've offered to
give your group a guided tour of the National Museum of Computing in the
afternoon if you wish.

Your group buying individual tickets gives them the benefit of getting
season tickets so they can return as they wish for 12 months
(evening/special lectures, fireworks night etc. still charged though!).

If you want a tour of the park then you could join an ordinary tour
covering the main story of the history & code-breaking: They are usually
every half hour from 11am to 3pm (subject to guides being available).
And there are the audio guides as well / instead as you wish.
If you want something more 'anorakish/technical' I could do that for you
(as special visitors of the National Museum of Computing to avoid
potential difficulties with BP itself!) - though I'd hope to be able to
attend our group meeting between 11am and 12.
And/or you could look out for Frank Carter's demo & explanation of
Enigma if he is able to be around that day - I think that is usually at
12.30 - and his lecture in the afternoon, though that is less technical
these days!

Let me know what you want to do, and how many ...
or we could do a democratic meeting of minds as you gather on the day! -
say what time you expect to have gathered.

Best wishes,
Pete.
