Was there meant to be a theme?
Bletchley Park is a good idea for a location - there was a vintage computer festival there not so long ago where I met a few of the regular here. But can I suggest specifically The National Museum of Computing, which is located on the park but is a separate entity? They have loads of beebs, cheese wedges and a domesday setup, as well as a room or two.Samwise wrote:Looking at this map after just a day, does anyone else think Bletchley Park looks like it might be a nice venue for a more southerly meetup?
Good idea. TNMC/MK is just about the farthest south I can easily get to.BigEd wrote:Bletchley Park is a good idea for a location ... specifically The National Museum of Computing,

See you round!My name is Richard Cook and I am a born-again Acorn Electron aficionado from Seattle in the United States. I grew up in the UK and the Electron was my first real computer back in the mid-80s. As part of my ongoing mid-life crisis, I found an Electron on eBay and, at great expense, had it imported over here and I'm getting back into it. I expect that my main interests will be 6502 assembly language programming and the like.
