[Nov 5, 2011] Bletchley Park Blitz Night Trip (Bletchley, Milton)

Very vague details at the moment, more to come nearer the time.

Currently the plan is:

• Meet in the Union Car Park at about 8:30am
• Arrive at Bletchley Park for 10am
• Guided tour around the Mansion and Park
• Tour of the Computer History Museum
• Leave site at 4:00pm to go to the Enigma Tavern (Pub)
• Return to site at 5:30pm for the Blitznight Carnival (Rides, Food, Fireworks!)
• Leave Bletchley at 8pm to return to Loughborough

The price will be about £20 per person (not confirmed). It's panning out to potentially be a brilliant trip for the society.

Sounds awesome dude!

I think I shall be up for this. Bletchley is usually a good day out anyway, and the Blitznight is pretty specatular. Also, is the transport member or society provided (i.e. included in the price)? And do we have confirmation that food/other stuff is available from the Enigma Tavern. That was a bit of a sticking point last time we tried this.

That sounds really good, I've always wanted a look around Bletchley. I can make it as well since it's a saturday

It should be transport provided for that price if I'm correct Miles?

Yep. Coach transport is included.

I wouldn't count on food being available from the Tavern. There was food being sold when we re-entered the park for the blitznight.

We'll stretch to non-members. We'll sell tickets on first come first server for a couple of days to members, then to non members.

Tickets will be on sale as soon as we get the coach prices.

Ladies and Mentlegen, we have confirmed prices for the trip.

Here is the break down.

Transport: £10
Guided Tour of BP: £10
Entrance to the Blitznight: £4

We only need £20 from you as the Blitznight fee is paid on the door. We will be selling tickets from Thursday, however they are now available as a forum upgrade: http://lsucs.org.uk/account/upgrades

If you are making your own way there, then we just need £10 from you for the guided tour.

With there being such a short time to sell tickets we have decided that the ticket sales are also open to boyfriends/girlfriends/close friends of lsucs members.

This is a limited space event, we only have 50 tickets. It's first comes first serve!

The plan for the day:

• Meet at RigRut Lawn at 8am.
• Leave by 8:30am.
• Arrive at BP by 10am
• Tour until 4pm (you can break off from the tour if you wish, there is also a restaurant/cafe on site if you want food)
• Go to the Enigma Tavern for until 5:30pm when the doors for blitznight open
• Carnival/fireworks till 8:30pm
• GO HOME

Edited my post

Yes but we'd have to charge the full £10 each for transport.

Btw, is the limit on places based on transport or the tour itself?
