Covid-19 (coronavirus) in Jersey

Jersey now observes the Level 1 guidance on Covid-19 which advises 1-metre social distancing and meetings of not more than 40 people. However, the Société Jersiaise remains closed to the general public because it is at risk on two counts – (1) the demographic of its membership and (2) it is a magnet for tourists/visitors to Jersey. It hopes to have better news in September.

Monday September 28th online meeting at 8pm

We are pleased to announce that this meeting will go ahead as a webinar from the Jersey Archive. We are very grateful to Linda Romeril, who will give a talk on Liberation films from the Archive.  It is easy to register to view these on P/Cs or laptops.

However other meetings for 2020 at the Société Jersiaise are still undecided as it is not yet open to the public nor is it taking outside bookings. Doreen Reed (Vice-President & Meetings Organiser) assures members that she will make every effort to include the meetings postponed since March in our future programme in 2021.
 
Please inform the Membership Secretary (cifhs.membership@gmail.com) when you have a new email address.  Our notices will also appear in the JEP Diary when it resumes.
