The choice that most people indicated that they could make is Friday 
afternoon (23 vs 17, 11 or 9 for the others).

I've therefore let TNMOC know that we'd like to take them up on Friday 
7th in the afternoon.

Sorry if you were one of the 10 or so folks that couldn't make it then. 
  Other public opening times are at:
http://www.tnmoc.org/visit/opening-times (basically Sat, Sun, Tue, Thu 
afternoons for the whole museum).
To visit them take the Circle Line for three stops from Edgware Road to 
Euston Square station. Walk out of the station and take a left for one 
block to Euston rail station. There are 3-ish direct London Midland 
trains an hour to Bletchley and it is then a short walk over the road to 
Bletchley Park. When you get there, you have the choice of paying £15 
entrance to the Bletchley Park Museum to see their collection of WWII 
memorabilia, or skipping this and proceeding directly to TNMOC where it 
will cost you £2 to see colossus, or £5 to tour the whole collection at 
your leisure. Just tell the folks at the gate that you want to visit TNMOC.

Working plan at the moment is to meet at Euston Station at 14:00 on 
Friday to catch the 14:13 train out to Bletchley. This takes 37 minutes 
and then it is a short walk across the road to Bletchley Park.

If you would like to come and haven't signed up yet that's fine, I would 
have thought the max reasonable number is probably about 30 in one visit 
so just add yourself to:

If you have signed up and can't make it *please* remove yourself so that 
I have a reasonable idea of numbers. I'll also figure out some food and 
beverage options at some point if there is enough interest.
