The British Esperanto Congress 2009 took place at Sarum College, Salisbury from 17th to 20th April. This year saw an impressive JEB turnout, with approximately 10 young Esperantists taking part in the event. A fun weekend was had by all, and some JEBanoj even contributed to the proceedings. Andrew Weir gave a lecture on the Friday evening on the theme of Asterix, whilst Clare Hunter combined the minor roles of Onlooker 1 and Onlooker 3 in the play ‘La sonĝo de la kursgvidanto’ which was presented on the Sunday afternoon.

One of the highlights of the weekend was the celebration to commemorate 50 years since the founding of JEB. Tim Owen led the proceedings, having gone to significant trouble to obtain two personalised cakes, and did a sterling job at cutting them up so that everyone received a piece and no one lost any fingers :)  EAB kindly provided the wine to toast our anniversary, as well as the 150th anniversary of Zamenhof’s birth, and there was soon a very festive atmosphere indeed!
