Bletchley Park Trip

Saturday 31st October, 09:15
Bletchley Park, Milton Keynes

The importance of Bletchley Park in the outcome of the Second World War doesn't need to noted here. On top of the code-breaking history, the site is also a host to the British Computer Museum, so the trip has double relevance for Compsoc.

We're also hoping to meet up with University College, London's Computer Society while at Bletchley. All in all, this promises to be quite a memorable event.

We will be catching the X5 bus to Milton Keynes (at a cost of £10.50 for a return ticket) and then taking a 10 minute train trip (at a cost of £3.10 for a return ticket) to Bletchley. Entry to Bletchley park is £8 if you have a BOD card, £10 otherwise. Once you have bought a ticket you can in fact use the ticket for up to 12 months after it was bought.

We will meet at Gloucester Green bus station on George Street at 9:15am on Saturday, and will probably be back in Oxford by 6 or 7pm (when we leave is generally left up to consensus).

Bletchley park is an amazing place to visit, and if you think you might want to come please email Jon so that we have a rough idea of numbers :)
