[Moby-Dick]

a Destination quite a few Hexites have been to needs our help

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/07...on_x_petition/

if you've not been , then you may not have long to go and see where it all began , its the home of programmable computing along with the work done there that dramatically changed the course of the 2nd World War.

So dont just sign the petition, stick your hands in your pocket and go visit.

I plan on visiting again with my dad at some point. Shocking the amount of money the government will throw at other projects but not this

It's THE HOME of "Geek Chic" so everyone interested at all should visit ASAP!

Yeap - a bit of history rotting away because it's probably not too diverse enough for todays society.

I will be doing another Meet there at some point for all those wanting to come along.

I've also volunteered for some work in the Museum (need to get organised though)

It is an awesome place!

There was a piece about this on CNN last week, didn't see it all though.

Really want to do back.

Rairai's 26th Birthday meet then... (might have to be november though as I'm already away for my birthday this year!)

[Lee @ SCAN]

Oh you *shakes fists*

I'm in Amsterdam at the end of November ( 21st to 23rd ) for my 30th, so if it's around that time I'll have to pass on the meet

Try and make it so its under a year - that way we can use our passes again

I would love to volunteer there, but its just too far to travel

Isn't the whole point to give them more money?

There are other ways of giving them money... tea and cake in the canteen, advertising to friends and family, just making a donation, car parking.

Guess which one is my fave?

Saw something about this on the beeb a while back. Absolutely shocking tbh. That place and the people who served there saved thousands upon thousands of lives and helped us win the war and politicians are always going on about us young folk having no concept of respect

I gave a healthy donation last time I was there, and will do the same again this time.

[Moby-Dick]

Great idea for the meet - even if you can't make the meet , you should really try and get yourselves down to BP - its a cracking day out !

I know, so did I. Just being facetious as usual
