Bletchley Park is famous for its wartime codebreaking activities but it also hosts the National Radio Centre.  As visiting radio amateurs we are welcome to spend some time operating this station if its open and if we bring a copy of our Amateur Radio License.  The station has the callsign GB2RS.

The TSGARC will be visiting Bletchley Park on Sunday 22nd February.  Bletchley is near Milton Keynes and about 2.5hrs drive away. The centre is open from 09:30 to 16:00hrs.  People who have been say its well worth a visit and to allow plenty of time to see all its attractions.  The plan, therefore, is to depart at 07:00hrs in the morning as this should get us there for opening time.

The entrance fee is £16.75 for adults unless you are an RSGB member and then its free!  Yes free 🙂 But RSGB members MUST bring with them an admission voucher which they can obtain from the RSGB website.  Login with your account details and then look for a link called ‘Visit Bletchley Park’.  That will take you to a page that allows you to get an admission voucher.  Note that the voucher is only valid for the selected day and named individual.

When the trip was discussed last Wednesday at the club, six people (who know who they are) confirmed that they would be attending.  If you wish to go and have not yet let Andrew know, please do so ASAP so that he can arrange transport.
