Covid precautions for the Anglo-Malagasy Society's physical events

To keep you and our other guests safe, please read the following precautions:
  • Places are limited to prevent overcrowding (so be sure to book your tickets soon to avoid disappointment as there may be none left on the day).
  • Hand sanitisation facilities will be available on arrival and accessible throughout the day.
  • We ask that you bring a face mask (unless exempt) and wear it whenever moving around or socialising. Masks may be removed while seated to watch talks or eat lunch.
  • If you or anyone you live with experiences any covid symptoms in the 24hrs prior to the event, please do not attend. A full refund of pre-purchased tickets is available to anyone in this situation.
  • We hope to video-record the main parts of the day for those unable to attend who would like to watch it online later.
  • Following government advice, we will be keeping the venue well ventilated with fresh air, so be sure to bring warm clothing as this may mean the hall is a little cooler than usual!
  • If you are able to take a lateral flow test in the 24hrs before the event, then we encourage you to do so, although you do not need to provide proof of the result to us.
  • Proof of vaccination is also not required, however we do strongly recommend guests to ensure they are fully vaccinated.

23 Apr 2022 (Sat) Madagascar meeting (online)
Our first event of 2022 will be a virtual meeting (via Zoom). It is free to attend and guests are invited to join us from anywhere in the world. We are privileged to have a particularly eminent speaker, Prof Dame Alison Richard, who has been closely involved with Madagascar for some 50 years. Alison will talk about ideas and findings from her recently published book The Sloth Lemur’s Song: Madagascar from the Deep Past to the Uncertain Present. We will also hear from Jamie Spencer, founder and Director of UK charity Feedback Madagascar, who will update us on ongoing aid efforts in the east-coast region that was hit by multiple devastating cyclones in February.

The event will start at 14:00 UK time (16:00 in Madagascar) and is expected to last approximately 90 minutes.

​Please register for this free event using the form in the grey box, and we will send you the Zoom meeting invitation link by email nearer the time. Places will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis.
