The British Association of Monaco (BAM) was founded in 1935, and at the Committee meeting of January 14, 1936, the Chairman announced that the Government of the Principality had authorised the formation of the Association and approved its statutes.
As with other similar Associations, BAM’s fortunes have risen and fallen over time. During the difficult war years, it made representations to the Consular community and to the Princely Government on behalf of the British residents, although there is a gap in the records from 1941 to 1945. It is clear, though, that the association continued quietly to help those in need in any way possible.

No help for gamblers
A Community Support committee made up of volunteers has been active from the earliest times. Originally called the Assistance Fund Sub-Committee, it was formally recorded that “as a matter of principle the Relief Fund should not be used to assist gamblers!.” Today’s Community Support Team maintains the same standards of confidentiality as then, and implements a formal procedure for assessing every case.

The profile of BAM members and the image of the Association have evolved over the years. Today BAM has more members, from a wider range of ages and lifestyles, than ever before, and the Social Events programmes reflect this change, in the variety and number of activities undertaken. The Events Team ‘dry run’ all proposed activities to ensure all events run smoothly.
The British Association of Monaco provides a focus as a useful and lively part of the Anglophone community around Monaco and the surrounding areas. The Association arranges regular monthly events, where members can meet other English speakers.Drinks Evenings are held on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month at different locations around the Principality at which members and friends can socialize and meet new people.
Other events, illustrated talks, dinners, guided tours and museum visits are organised throughout the year. BAM will celebrate the King’s birthday each year in June, which is the only official British event in Monaco.
