The Bristol Anglo-German Society was formed in 1981 to further interest in the German-speaking world among the people of Bristol and surrounding districts. It is a registered Charity.
The society meets during the academic year to attend illustrated talks, conversation afternoons and social events.
There is an active social programme, with a Frühschoppen in September, a Nikolausabend party in December and a Summer Social.
The talks, given by society members or guest speakers, cover a wide variety of topics. Some are in German and some in English, while the monthly conversation afternoons are sometimes supported by native German speakers.
BAGS works closely with the Bristol Hannover Council, the official twinning arrangement in Bristol since 1947 and one of the oldest Anglo-German partnerships in the UK. BAGS & BHC work closely to offer a programme of talks and events on German topics each year which are open to members of both organisations. We also collaborate with the University of Bristol German Department. The three organisations recently held a very successful joint event, marking 35 years of German Unification!
