Eye heard recently about an attender at Westminster's Wednesday night Meeting for Worship, who regularly attends football matches. A few Saturdays ago she was up at AFC Wimbledon (who play in the Ryman premier division) when they played Hastings United. Our friend, Liz, takes up the story: 'Half time is pretty boring and fanzines don't interest me so I'm reading the Friend on the terraces when the guy standing next to me identified himself. He was from Wimbledon Meeting. I’m still a recent enough attender to find being called Friend and patted on the shoulder quite touching.'
Eye has heard all about Quakers who wait in anticipation of the Friend arriving through the letterbox, but wonders now where else the journal is read these days.
Liz concluded her story: 'Found myself minding my language for the rest of the match though!' Of course, you'll want to know the score. Wimbledon won 4-0.
