Yearly Meeting 2012
When and where
Yearly Meeting 2012 will be held from 25-28 May 2012 at Friends House, London. The children's programme (ages 0 - 12) will also be based at Friends House with the young people's programme (ages 12 - 15) and Junior Yearly Meeting's (ages 15 - 18) programme nearby. Please see Children and young people's events.
Engaging with Yearly Meeting
We have found that those meetings which attend YM as a group are strengthened in their life together. This year we are inviting your meeting to engage with Yearly Meeting by considering the topics beforehand, maybe travelling and staying as a group and by arranging to feedback what has happened to those who were not able to attend.
Invitation for local meetings
This includes preparatory materials for the main topics along with travel and accommodation suggestions to help make all of your time in London feel like a gathering. Invitation for meetings [PDF: 944kb - new window]
Yearly Meeting champions
We are looking for Friends who would like to coordinate the activities in the invitation to local meetings (see above) in liaison with clerks and elders. If you are willing (and able) please email ym@quaker.org.uk with the subject ‘YM Champions’ and let us know your name and meeting. We will mark this on a map to make available to Friends online so they can see who to speak with. We will not publish any personal contact details as Friends should be able to find you through the local book of members.
Documents in advance
Documents in advance along with Epistles & testimonies will be made available as soon as they are ready on this webpage. Those Friends who have asked to be kept informed will be sent an e-mail when significant updates are made. We will be releasing the materials both as PDFs and in Kindle friendly format.
Paper versions will be available from the Quaker bookshop from around the end of March for £6.00 each with supplementary material then being available at Yearly Meeting itself.
