Gary, of North Wilts.and others,

	The BSA's Channel District held its Fall Operations/Training
conference at B-P House in October.  The rent was a little steep, but
the facilities are fine.  Air conditioning WILL be a nice addition.
The location was fabulous, and the ability to have out of town
Scouters and their families stay in the Hostel is a major Dollar/Pound
saver.  Also outside entities do rent the facilities.  The Friday
night we were there, there was a Singles-Disco in the ground Floor and
the London Underground Railway Society held its monthly meeting
eleswhere in the building.

	For Scouters visiting London, it is a must consider and even
when they are closed, I understand the Hostel at the Docklands
Scouting Project may be available.  If you are thinking about visiting
London from abroad, think about B-P House and the Docklands.  They are
not Claridges, but then I'm not Hugh Grant, either.
