Mensa in Guernsey

Welcome to Mensa in Guernsey

This is the website of the Guernsey branch of Mensa.
We are one of the Channel Islands and located in the English Channel, a few miles from France. Also, we are about 75 miles from the south of England. If you still have not found us then look on your map at about 49 degrees 28 minutes North, 2 degrees 35 minutes West. Guernsey is quite a small island with an area of just 30 square miles and is about 18 miles from the island of Jersey. According to the latest census count our resident population is now over 65,000. I believe that there are about 70 members of Mensa here. The Bailiwick of Guernsey includes several smaller islands. We have members of Mensa on both Alderney and Sark. World Factbook about Guernsey
Mensa is the High IQ Society and we are part of British Mensa. There are many other groups and regions throughout the world. In order to join us you just need to take a test to show that your Intelligence Quotient is in the top 2 percent. That is all that our members need have in common. We all have a wide variety of interests and ideas to exchange with each other. For more details you can check out the British Mensa web site. I would like to expand this site with more pages, especially if other members can give me some material to add. You can find my e-mail address via the contacts link on this page so please get in touch. I will be happy to add extra pages or provide links to your own pages. News of our local meetings and other events is shown further down this page.
