YF Committee
Meeting:
Conference Call
20th May 2007
Present: Thomas
Watts, Ben Watts, Julian Carver and Jimmy Green.
- We have agreed to support Sarah Tailby in attending Britain Young
Friends General Meeting, a course on Spiritual Friendship at Woodbrooke Study
Centre and a Young Friends Weekend at Pardshaw in October 2007. We agree to
cover the attendance costs of these events. We ask Sarah to provide a written
report on her trip and to be available for verbal reports and presentations to
Young Friends and Monthly Meetings if required. We hope that this journey will
aid Sarah in continuing to make an ongoing contribution to the Young Friends.
Julian will write a letter
of support to Sarah, which will accompany what Sarah sends to STAC.
- We agree to use the Young Friends Committee money to get the
committee to Yearly Meeting and support other Young Friends’ attendance.
- We recognise the importance of getting a large contingent of Young
Friends at Yearly Meeting, especially at the Young Friends session. We note
that some Young Friends will be unable to attend all of Yearly Meeting, so it
will be important to establish when the Young Friends session will take place.
Thomas to liase with Bill
Robinson in regards to the timetabling of the Young Friends session at Yearly
Meeting.
The committee
agreed to meet again mid-June to discuss the Yearly Meeting session.
