Welcome to the BSST's Meetings Page
Here you will find out about our meetings and be able to access whatever papers are available on-line.
We hold two meetings per year : a Spring meeting in London which is also the AGM of the Society and an Autumn meeting elsewhere, typically at a location with some relevance to the sugar industry. Over the years we have been to sites as diverse as Tate & Lyle Thames Refinery, the Brewing Museum in Burton, the Thames Barrier, British Sugar Wissington, Didcot Rail Museum [2004 : the Bicentennial of rail] and even the Calais Sugar Terminal. The AGM is usually on the second Thursday following Easter and the ATM is typically on a Thursday in mid October.
The next meeting of the Society, the 2025 ATM, will be held at Denby Pottery Village :
Thursday October 2nd 2025 at the Denby Pottery Village Derbyshire
Papers presented to the Society in the last 10 years [plus some earlier ones] are available in the library on this website.Library. Some older papers are also available : please contact the Secretary for those.
Each year, the Society selects the best paper of the year for the Mike Bennett Award. The selection process follows strict guidelines for allocating points.
