But you're entering anyway... ;)

Not if you take your entry to the museum on the day.

#6That museum, and the adjacent Station X Bletchley Park are somewhere I am really longing to visit. Anyone been?
I remember corewars... It was old when I started playing and making genetic programming entries for it :). My algos never beat the humans though.

The museum is not adjacent to Bletchley; Cambridge is about 40 miles away. You might be thinking of The National Museum of Computing which is on the Bletchley Park campus, but the Centre for Computing History is a different concern entirely.
But they're all worth a visit. :)

There are also a couple of other computer museums open to the public in the UK, one in Swansea, the other in Leicester. I think there's also one in York which you can visit by appointment only.

I remember reading about Core Wars in the Scientific American article back in 84. To say it blew my mind was an understatement. I was 13, Tron had come out in 82, wow what time to start in computing. Anything seemed possible.

Are you going? I just wonder if it might be possible to send a delegate :-) I can not make it in person, but perhaps somebody could take my submission?
Not that I have anything ready yet, so I probably wouldn't come up with a great warrior in the short time. But it seems a shame to miss it.
