  • Bletchley/TNMOC Auction 2012 (29.04.12) ACCU raises £3900 for Bletchley Park and The National Museum of Computing 27-04-2012 ACCU has held their annual charity auction to benefit Bletchley Park and The National Museum of Computing. The competition was fierce and in the end raised a much needed £3900 for the two charities. Many thanks to John Chapman from Bletchley Park and Joel Steinberg from TNMOC for their assistance in securing so many marvellous lots as well as their masterful compering of the event. And many thanks as well to all of the generous (and patient) attendees. Further information about Bletchley Park and TNMOC are available at: http://www.bletchleypark.org.uk/ http://www.tnmoc.org/

  • ACCU 2012 T-Shirt Design Contest result (5.03.12)

    ACCU Tee Shirt Design 2012We are pleased to announce the winners of the ACCU 2012 T-Shirt Design Contest. Winners because we had two very strong entries and in the end we couldn't decide which was better so we've actually combined the designs. So kudos go to Nigel Lester for the QR Code and to Richard Harris for his homage to an iconic design.

    Pre-orders will be taken by Archer Yates. Shirts will only be available for pre-order and pick-up/payment at the conference. We tried taking orders at the conference last year and posting them and it turned into a bit of a fiasco which none of us wish to revisit.
