EAB is 50!

The Esperanto Association of Britain celebrates its fiftieth birthday today! It was founded on 13 March 1976, becoming a registered charity the following year.

In celebration of our jubilee our Members are waking up to a special commemorative magazine called Kvindek dropping through their letter boxes.

Although the name is in Esperanto, the content is wholly in English. It contains the origin story of EAB, plus Doctor Esperanto's International Language from 1889. This is a translation of the “First Book”, with which Ludwik Zamenhof introduced Esperanto to the world in Russian in 1887.

Kvindek – Esperanto for fifty – is available for free download. We might make it available for purchase at a later date, too. There's another way to get your hands on a copy, too: we'll post one to all new Members who join us between now and issue 1000 of our magazine La Brita Esperantisto, which will come out in the final months of 2026. So sign up to EAB if you'd like to support our work and get your hands on this extremely limited edition commemoration!

The second way we'll be celebrating is via our jubilee conference, which takes place in Leicester in late April. We'll be in a large daytime venue, with an evening programme in a theatre, a group meal, and two days of excursions for people stopping on a bit longer. You can details about the event at our site, britakongreso.org.
