My son had his 18th Birthday Go-Karting yesterday (24/04/2021) Jacob is really unique- he has autism & is very particular about certain things. We were helped by Charlie who was simply amazing from start to finish. He helped organise, plan, prepare such a brilliant party. Even during the (end of thankfully) the covid pandemic we couldn’t have asked for more. The strict covid rules were applied at all times & the karting is of a real high standard. Jacob is absolutely beaming at coming first (obviously pre arranged) and spoke for the whole rest of the day about it. What an amazing experience- thank you Charlie & FF team. Five stars from us all!!

Our 2 children aged 11 and 12 took part in a Kids Climb Taster session at the Bletchley Centre, they had a great time. The instructor, Abbie, really engaged with them, they felt confident enough to challenge their fears and have fun. They both want to learn to climb on their own.

Bletchley Park contains a beautiful mansion house, park and lake. Also houses The National Museum of Computing. After the war, it was taken over as a Management Centre and my father was sent there - his office was on the first floor, front of the mansion house, just right of the main entrance. I myself attended a two-week training course there in 1961 so I know it of old and the present. In 2005 I attended a wedding there, the ceremony was held in the library and after in the dance hall. It is open every day. Special Note: Only assistance and guide dogs allowed in. Summer opening: (1 Mar – 31 Oct) From 09.30 to 17.00. Winter opening: (1 Nov – 28 Feb) From 09.30 to 16.00. Online advance prices: Adult – £19.00, Concessions – £16.60 Child 12 to 17 – £11.40 Under 12 – FREE Family Ticket – £49.40, 2 adult & 2 child under 17. On the day prices: Adult – £20.00, Concessions – £17.50 Child 12 to 17 – £12.00 Under 12 – FREE Family Ticket – £52.00, 2 adult & 2 child under 17. During WW2, in 1938, Winston Churchill chose Bletchley Park to be the home of Station X, housing code-breakers, the most famous being Alan Turin who set up the world's first programmable digital electronic computer called 'Colossus'. The scores of wooden 'Huts' that were built in the park, many of which are still standing house historical exhibits, including part of a rebuilt Colossus I was embarrassed to see an old mechanical adding machine on display that I used myself in the 1960s!

With the increase in cases of coronavirus in the UK and other countries the RSGB has taken the difficult decision to close the NRC temporarily from Wednesday, 18 March 2020. Even with extra precautions it is no longer possible to ensure the safety of NRC volunteers and visitors. We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause those who have planned visits but we hope people will understand the decision in light of the current fast-moving situation.
