Re: [python-uk] Trip to Bletchley Park

[Tim Golden]

I'm tied up with a Boys' Club on Saturdays but I definitely encourage
anyone to go who hasn't. Aside from the mainstream attractions of the
Enigma / Codebreaking stuff and the NMOC, there's also a charmingly
eclectic mixture of side exhibitions: a museum of wartime pigeons; the
local model railway enthusiasts; a dusty garage of vintage cars; model
ships made by a local club; someone's toy collection; the on-site
wartime Post Office.

And it's all run by fans who are delighted to talk.

Definitely go if you haven't already. (And if you have).

Re: [python-uk] Trip to Bletchley Park

[Jonathan Fine]

I'm interested, and live locally, so I can cycle there. Bletchley Park is
walking distance from Bletchley rail station, so it's much better to get a
train to there than to Milton Keynes Central.

By the way, Bletchley Park was chosen in part because of its closeness to
the rail station, and to GPO communication lines.

... which was of course at the time part of the Oxford-Cambridge line,
considered important for the work of BP:

Hi all,

A few of us had a discussion at PyconUK about doing a trip to
Bletchley Park and the The National Museum of Computing.

Saturday, 19 Oct seemed to be the best option. Londoners could meet at
Euston Station and others could make their own way.

In terms of timing:

- Bletchley Park is open from 9.30am to 5.00pm
- The Museum of Computing is "Fully open 1-5pm; Colossus and Tunny
Galleries open all day"

So we could meet at say 10am and get the train there, potentially
using this national rail 2 for 1 offer:
http://www.daysoutguide.co.uk/bletchley-park-(1)

More info:
http://www.bletchleypark.org.uk/
http://www.tnmoc.org/

So put it in your calendar and I'll email again a week before with
specific meeting times etc.

Cheers,
Tom
