British Esperanto Congress 2010 in Llandudno

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010 by Radio

The British Esperanto Congress 2010 will take place from Friday 14th to Monday 17th May 2010 in the beautiful town of Llandudno, North Wales.

The organisers have put together an excellent website where you can find detailed information about both the local area and the event itself.

If you’re interested and would like to sign up, you’ll need to go to the website of the Esperanto Association of Britain where it is possible to register and pay online. The cost of the weekend is £43, which includes tea and coffee (meals and accommodation payable separately). Don’t forget that if you’re under 26 and able to write a letter in Esperanto, you may be able to apply for funding from NoJEF to cover the cost of the congress for you.

As ever, we hope that there will be a strong JEB presence at the congress and will be holding our AGM on the Saturday afternoon at 2pm. All are welcome to attend, either as a member or as a spectator if you’re no longer under 30. If you have any issues which you would like us to put on the agenda for the meeting, feel free to drop us a line.

If you have any questions about the congress, would like some help with finding accommodation, or haven’t attended a JEB meeting before and would like to get to know some of us in advance, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us at the JEB forums. In the meantime, don’t forget that the next JEB meeting will be taking place on Saturday 6th February in Cardiff :)

JEB Spring Meet-up 2010

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010 by Radio

The JEB Spring Meet-up will take place on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th February 2010 in Cardiff, Wales.

JEBanoj will arrive in Cardiff from around 10am onwards, with the majority aiming to arrive around midday. We will meet in a Wetherspoon’s called the Prince of Wales, which is within easy walking distance of the main railway station, before heading elsewhere for something to eat.

As this is the first time in recent years that JEB have been to Cardiff, we hope to spend some time exploring the city with the help of Heather Eason and the local Esperanto group.

Due to the length of the journey involved, many of us will be stopping over in hotels on the Saturday night. The cheapest we’ve found so far appears to be the ETAP – see the forums for more information.

If you would like to come along, don’t hesitate to get in touch :)
