Registration
We look forward to meeting you on Sunday for early registration, which we will hold between 2pm and 6pm, at 'The Inn at Woburn', Woburn village. We will not be arranging transport for this as we are aware that so many of you are arriving into the area at so many different times. We hope that many of you will join us for this gathering so that we can complete your registration details and you can meet with colleagues from around the world. Tea, with scones, jam and clotted cream will be served as light refreshments - 'The Inn' is the birth place of Afternoon Tea.
For those arriving later on Sunday, Registration will continue at The Sculpture Gallery, Woburn Abbey, on Monday morning from 8.15am. The Conference opening sessions start at 9am.

Excursion to Bletchley Park, Wednesday afternoon 18th July 2012
We have secured a very special visit for you to the famous Bletchley Park on the afternoon of Wednesday 18th July, two of the most senior and experienced guides and lecturers of Bletchley Park will be joining us for lunch at 1pm at The Sculpture Gallery, Woburn. After lunch they will then accompany us on two coaches and set the scene for your visit to (i) The Home of the Codebreakers (ii) to see where the first semi programmable computer was invented - Colossus (iii) the Alan Turing Bombe Machine.
The guides will also be able to point you in the direction of a host of other attractions at Bletchley Park:
- The toy collection which contains over 8,000 items between 1938 to 1945
- The Churchill memorabilia collection
- Radio Society of Great Britain
- Time line of codebreaking including the Alan Turing statue and various Enigma Machines
You may prefer to search the Bletchley Park website for yourselves to seek other attractions that you may desire and take the opportunity to see – there is much to explore at Bletchley Park, http://www.bletchleypark.org.uk/.
Bletchley Park has much of interest for wives, partners and children, who may also be travelling with you to this Conference, for them to enjoy this experience with you.
