SPA is a specialist group of the BCS. Read about our aims and mission here.

• organise regular events in three centres: London, Cambridge and Guernsey.
• sponsor the SPA conference series
• run mailing lists
• run a Wiki for members

You'll find everything you need to know about joining SPA here.

The materials from past events are here, along with newsletters and other useful materials. There's a wiki for discussion of related topics.

The Cambridge chapter of SPA organises regular meetings. There is also a fledgling chapter in Guernsey.

There are a number of friendly organisations whose goals are broadly sympathetic to those of SPA, and with whom SPA has had cross-sponsorship or other arrangements in the past.
