Our Area Meeting, with an Activities Fayre over lunch (exact timings TBC), and then business meeting 2pm-5pm.

Activities Fayre

The Activities Fayre will include information and representatives from a range of Central England Quaker committees, groups and branches such as the Community Justice Group, Peacemakers and the Christmas Parcels Committee. This is an opportunity for Friends from across the Area Meeting to learn more about the wide range of activities undertaken in our name and the Area Meeting Clerks hope it will prove an inspiring and encouraging start to the new year.

Area Business Meeting

Our Area Business Meeting is a special type of Meeting for Worship used to make decisions: from how Quakers spend our money, to adopting a Concern. Agenda items deadline 8th January

Anyone who is part of our Quaker community can attend these meetings and take part in decision making: if you would like to take part for the first time, please speak to an Elder or Pastoral Care Friend at your Local Meeting.  The meeting will be chaired by a Clerk, who will introduce items of business to be discussed, and allow questions to be asked.  Members of the meeting sit silently in worship, reflecting on the matter in hand and try to Discern the way forward.
