Elite Summer Event
On 10 May we have arranged a visit to Bletchley Park, home to the world-famous code breakers of WWII. Elite is very fortunate in having as its hosts for the tour two of the leading figures in this reconstruction: Tony Sale, director of the Colossus rebuild program and John Harper, director of the Bombe rebuild.
Spaces are inevitably limited, and will be allocated on a first come first served basis. The cost includes refreshments on arrival, a buffet lunch, and refreshments at the end of the tour.
Booking form
Please note that there is a car parking charge of £3 at the venue.
