Autumn Meeting 2025, Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire
Local Organisers: Rowan Atkinson, Ffion Atkinson & Ann Claypole
Date: October 6th to 10th
There has not been a BLS meeting in this area since 1972. Let’s see how things have changed.
Meeting Base
The meeting base is Hebden Bridge Hostel, Highfield Hebden Bridge, HX7 8DG.
Accommodation and Cost
Accommodation for 20 to 25 people is available in single and twin rooms, some of the twin rooms are well designed to enable privacy to occupants. BLS have sole use and we are self-catering.
Because this is a sole use booking, the cost depends on the number of participants. I have based the cost on 20 participants which works out to £160 each for the week; if there are fewer people than 20 the cost will be more, if numbers are more than 20 the cost will be less.
Booking
Attendees should book their place at the meeting by contacting Graham Boswell, email togooutdoors@hotmail.com or by post to Base Lodge 16 The Parks, Minehead TA24 8BS. Each booking will require a deposit of £50 in to the BLS Bank Account, CAF Bank sort code 40-52-40 Account No. 00012363 with reference Hebden Bridge
Microscope Work
A meeting room has been reserved for the duration of the meeting for microscope work and presentations at the nearby Hebden Bridge Town Hall. The BLS microscopes will be available for communal use.
