Lo,

Just a quick poll to see if anyone would be interested in attending this in August?

Tickets I don't think have yet gone on sale... and I can't seem to find any website for it just yet... but I do remember these running in previous years (they're probably still finding people to do presentations and then they'll announce).

It's up in Hebden Bridge (near Halifax... west of Bradford/Leeds and north/east of Manchester)

It'd basically be 2 trains (one up to Manchester, then get to the OTHER station in Manchester... then over to Hebden Bridge... about 2 hours total) or 1.45 hour drive.

Hello,

Please find details below of the call for participation for Open Source Hardware Camp 2026, which will mark 15 years since the very first OSHCamp was held at C4CC in London.

Tickets are not on sale yet, but these will be £12/day and this includes lunch, plus tea/coffee. Those presenting and running workshops will receive free tickets.

Budget accommodation is available at Hebden Bridge IOU Hostel, which adjoins the venue, and there are plenty of B&Bs, plus a number of small hotels in the area.

Any questions don't hesitate to get in touch!

Cheers,

Andy Bennett
