I'm going to be in Cardiff, so I can't make it - but Hackspace folks
said they were interested, so I thought I'd pass this on now it's
confirmed...

19 June 2010 to 20 June 2010
Britain’s largest celebration of vintage computing is to be held at
The National Museum of Computing (TNMOC) in Bletchley Park from 19-20
June 2010
Originating ten years ago in California’s Silicon Valley, to celebrate
our computing heritage, Vintage Computing Festivals are now regular
events held across the USA and in Germany. The June 2010 event at
TNMOC will be the first in the UK and will pay particular tribute to
the British contribution to the development of computing.
The festival, which is open to the general public and welcomes private
exhibitors, will have exhibition stands, a full lecture programme,
machine demonstrations, computer games and challenges, bring-and-buy
sale, and performances of electronic music.
Kevin Murrell, VCF co-ordinator and a trustee and director of TNMOC
said: “The enthusiasm for this festival is already remarkable and we
have only just started to publicise the event. The historic and
spacious setting of Bletchley Park is perfect for the event – and with
The National Museum of Computing on the same site, it will surely draw
visitors from overseas as well as from across Britain. With visitor
numbers expected to exceed one thousand, the Festival offers a great
opportunity for potential sponsors.”
Lots more will be announced soon. To keep up-to-date, see
