A grand celebration of 50 years of British Computer Society and 40 years of North Staffordshire branch by a past and present day together with the official opening of the Computing Future Museum which the BCS has sponsored for Staffordshire University.
I enjoyed it all very much. And the buffet dinner had samosas too!
