Save Bletchley Park!

[tiggerai]

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 !

But of course the meet would be 10x better.

Bletchley Park, the home of programmable computing, is fighting for survival. Here's a few ways in which you can help!

I must pop in, I only live a couple of miles away, bad me

Inspirational and fascinating place, would be an absolute tragedy if it were to be lost. Sign the petition, visit and donate!

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?

Car parking? I know which one it isn't, we're forever being told it's a lie!

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

I have no idea where my pass is, probably new paper somewhere by now... guess that means I'd have to help them keep going that extra little bit

Signed up, would love to go and visit but it's a little far for me I think it's sad when cultural heritige is left to decay, but seems that people don't recognise the importance of it. Maybe if people felt more of a pride about their national identity, and learned of the pioneering efforts of people like those at Bletchley Park, they wouldn't be so antisocial or destructive.

When I was there last week, they mentioned an interesting point; if every computer user in one UK city donated £1, then they would have enough money to do all required refurbishments and run the entire museum for the foreseeable future.

Come on Hexus user!

[burble]

I've never been there which seems a bit crazy considering I'm a geek who works in Milton Keynes.

[mediaboy]

I want to go.

Just not had the spare time and way of getting there yet.

It shouldn't be closed down. Anyone that knows anything about Cryptography and so on would know that... it's like... years of history on one small site!

Come on Hexus user!

I believe when we were there, some of the hexites gave a pound for EACH computer they had... £4 straight out of my pocket!

So come on guys, do the same!

Burble, i'm disappointed in you!!

Indeed, I did the same.

Burble, i'm disappointed in you!!

Meanie.

I'll get there eventually

[Powderhound]

Heck! Let's start the Hexus Save Bletchley Park Campaign!

[JK Ferret]

Mediaboy, whereabouts do you hail from? There's likely to be someone from near wherever it is going there for the 1st Dec meet... It was the biggest one last year (I believe, confirmation Rai?), and hopefully will be again this year Even if there's no-one near you going try to get down, it's sure to be a blast

[merdat]

Definitely worth saving.

Shocking that it's allowed to get into this state - you think Bill Gates could stump up a few hundred thousand.
