Thank you for Support

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all those in the community who shared their condolence with us on the death of my mum and who celebrated the life of a remarkable person. 

I particularly want to thank SQLBits for this year for making The SQLBits 2025 Charity, the main charity for the event with donations going to The National Museum of Computing 

The National Museum of Computing is also a fantastic visitor attraction, recognised as one of England’s top 100 ‘irreplaceable places’, allowing visitors to follow the development of computing from the ultra-secret pioneering efforts of the 1940s, through the large systems and mainframes of the 1950s-70s, to the rise of personal computing in the 1980s and beyond. The museum hosts lots of events throughout the year and does not receive government or Heritage Lottery Funding. I feel it is important to preserve the past and help the museum with some ambitious projects in the future. If you missed the opportunity to donate there is a direct page where you can make donations. 

I would also like to thank the #MVPCommunity and the team at #DataToboggan for there tremendous support during this time. #MVPBuzz
