Channel Islands
Channel Islands Mensa is a former National Mensa which has now joined British Mensa as a Region. The region covers the island groups of Jersey and Guernsey. Neither territory is part of the United Kingdom - each is more correctly a British Crown Protectorate and has its own government. There are approximately 130 Mensa members living on the islands, making it British Mensa's least populous region. Previously as a separate National Mensa it enjoyed huge prosperity under the dynamic leadership of Phillip Poole, and during this era it gained a reputation for having the highest proportion of Mensa members in a national population in the world.

Thinks!
Channel Islands Mensa has a quarterly A4-format colour newsletter called "Thinks!", which is currently edited by Lawrence Woolf. Due to the low population of the region, Channel Islands strays from the normal newsletter scheme within British Mensa. Thinks! is produced in-house at BM's Wolverhampton office and mailed to the region's members. All other regions receive a mono printed A5-format newsletter each month which is mailed in with their Mensa Magazine.
