116 Quakers

Interesting to hear that the Meeting for Worship held by Cheltenham Quakers at the Greenbelt festival attracted 116 visitors last week. That's impressive, as most of them were new to Meeting for Worship. The Cheltenham Friends also managed to shift fifty copies of Advices & Queries to visitors. After Meetng for Worship many people stayed around to talk. Some stimulating questions were asked and that pleasing expression 'positive feedback' was recorded. One enquirer introduced herself as a direct descendant of William Penn! Eye wonders how many Meetings will have the nerve to hold a Meeting for Worship during their Quaker Week events.
