The Society is a registered charity for
the purpose of advancing the education of the citizens of Britain and Norway
about each other’s country and way of life. The Society was founded in 1918.
There is a sister Society in Oslo, the Anglo-Norse
Society in Oslo/Norsk-Britisk Forening, with similar purposes. The
membership in London is mainly British and Norwegian, brought together by a
common interest in Norway. The Society is always pleased to welcome new
members.
The Society meets approximately every
three weeks from September to May at the Norwegian Embassy at 25 Belgrave
Square in London. The programme includes talks by British and Norwegian
speakers on a wide variety of subjects from aspects of Norwegian political life
and its economy to travel and history, supplemented by quiz evenings and
showings of Norwegian films. Meetings usually begin at 19.30 with an
opportunity for members to get together beforehand and to buy sandwiches,
coffee and wine. There are also special events, such as visits to the theatre,
concerts and exhibitions.
(The current programme is described in the latest
newsletter.)
The Society also awards grants for British or Norwegian students on courses in
each other’s country. Recent awards have included grants for attendance at the
Summer School in Bergen and bursaries to help fund PhD research in Norway. The
Society also helps students and others obtain Norwegian educational books at
reasonable cost, including sales from our own stock
.
Membership is open to anybody with an
interest in Norway. There is a modest subscription, which covers admission to
the normal programme, but some special events require payment for tickets. The
subscription also covers the Anglo-Norse Review, which is published twice a
year and circulated to members of both the London and Oslo societies.
