Hi,

I just noticed this from the GLLUG announce list, I know some aluggers were talking of organising a day out to Bletchley, perhaps you want to join up with the GLLUG'ers too.

Hello,

I am trying to organise a GLLUG Summer Expedition to Bletchley Park, Cambs. for Sunday 9th July.

"Bletchley Park was the centre of the Allied cryptanalysis and code breaking efforts during the Second World War. The most notable achievement was the breaking of the German Enigma cipher which is said to have brought the war to an end 2 years early.

It was home to a number of famous mathamaticians and cryptanalysts including Alan Turing - the father of modern computer science."

At the park there is a Computer history museum, World War 2 exhibits and a Churchill exhibition.

One this particular day there is also a vintage car and motorbike show and a WW2 fly-past as well as the regular attractions.

The plan is to arrive at Bletchley, visit the attractions and then have a group picnic later in the afternoon. That Sunday is also the World Cup Final (No, England won't be playing in it *duck*) so those who care could find a local pub or race back to London to watch it. Kickoff is at 1900.

I need to track numbers of people who are going to attend. Once I have 20 interested people we can claim a group discount for entry of £8 each.

Please discuss the trip on the GLLUG Social list...

... to keep the noise off of the main discussion list. Email me if you are interested in going and I am going to maintain a web-page to inform you of train times, more information etc.

Families and other hangers-on are more than welcome.

Hope to see some of you there..
