ANME Trip to the National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park!

[RichCowell]

Hi All,

 

The ANME is arranging a trip to the National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park on the 31st May in the Summer half term!

 

Open to all ANME members, and free - other than travel costs... I'll start a thread in the private group to try to arrange lift sharing etc.

 

Invitations will go out in the next couple of weeks!

 

More information will be added to the website as it becomes available - National Museum of Computing Trip | Association of Network Managers in Education ANME

Email going to members about this as I type... Though sadly with Office 365 it takes about 3-4 hours to send 500ish emails!! I'm sure that shouldn't be the case!

Ooh, I think I would be interested in this. I only live a few miles away from MK. It has always been on my "I want to visit:" list, but the missus isn't into computers at all - so I've never been :-( .

Get the date in your diary!! it's been one of the places I've always wanted to visit too... Really looking forward to it!

Ive been as part of a school trip, great place and worth while trying to organise someone to show you around.

Could hangers on just happen to visit the same day?

Already on it, thanks for the tip though... Should be a great day!

National museum is a short afternoon visit. Allow at least a whole day for Bletchley Park!

[RichCowell]

invitations have just gone out to all members for the trip! I've had a couple let me know they're staying at the Premier Inn Milton Keynes South West the night before too, so it'll be good to meet up with some members there as well!

[RichCowell]

There've been quite a few members register for this, but still places available - all free - just got to get there! (Discussions re. lift sharing in the ANME Private Forum)

 

It'd be great to meet as many members there as possible...

This is interesting... Ultra-rare WWII Lorenz cipher machine goes on display at Bletchley Park ? The Register

 

Also thinking about going myself, never been to Bletchley Park before.

[RichCowell]

I saw that on Facebook earlier, looks like a pretty impressive machine... I'm hoping it's still going to be there to see when we go... Still places available, you should sign up quickly :-)

[DJ-1701]

Signed up and hotel booked, also joins up nicely for EDIT on the 2nd as well.

[RichCowell]

I'll see you at both!

Just a reminder that registrations for the ANME trip to the National Museum of Computing will close next Tuesday (24th May), but it's not too late to register, or join... all new members that join before then will receive an invitation...

I was at another event there last week and the museum tour was pretty awesome, and brought back quite a few memories of the way things used to be...
