If you look at the list here ... http://www.britishbee.org.uk/local_associations_about_us.php you'll see there are about a couple of dozen Yorkshire Beekeepers Associations, several of which have their own website.  There are links to websites for some of them, but you may have to Google for others.

I'd be confident that every one of them will do some sort of introductory course in the spring, and quite a few will have end of season events going on now.  If there's nothing on their website, just give the secretary a call.   :)
