Sounds like a good venue for the VCF to me! :)
Not with Bletchley, they don't have the
facilities and aside from the
volunteers I suspect they don't have the interest either.
How about the new computer museum at Swindon?
http://www.digitalhistory.org.uk/index.php I mentioned the VCF to my old PhD supervisor at the
University of the
West of England (in Bristol) and he was keen on the idea. He even
suggested the use of UWE facilities for such an event. But we don't
have a great deal of genuine home-grown computer heritage here,
apart from INMOS. We do have a Concorde museum opening in the
next week or two, though.
I'm currently investigating possibilities in the UK, so please do check
into it for me. What I'd need to know right off is what, if any, fees
would be required to rent the required space, and how much those fees are.
Thanks!
