Welcome to the website of the Anglo-Malagasy Society, which was founded in 1961 to promote links between the United Kingdom and Madagascar.
Our members come from a wide range of backgrounds, and new members are always welcome, whether you have a particular link to Madagascar or simply have an interest in getting to know the wonderful island and its people. We hope that the information on the site will help visitors to the country to understand more about it and to find other useful points of contact.
We have a full programme of events each year, and produce a quarterly newsletter on Madagascar as well as news updates for members as necessary.
If you have any questions or comments, please do contact one of the committee as appropriate.

The Society retains its original aims, namely:
• To further friendship and co-operation between the peoples of the United Kingdom and Madagascar
• To establish and foster cultural links between the two nations
• To make Madagascar more widely known in the United Kingdom by means of discussions, lectures and functions
• To assist British companies interested in establishing and maintaining business relations with Madagascar
• To encourage visits of persons from this country to Madagascar and
to help them with information wherever possible
• To welcome Malagasy nationals, especially students, in this country and assist them to make contacts with people likely to help them understand British life and customs.
