Dear Wardens/Managers and Resident Friends,
At Watford Quaker Meeting House we have groups hiring our rooms and the garden throughout the week, also Saturdays.
I have been asked by a local Romanian Christian group whether they could book once a month on a Sunday afternoon. (A couple of rooms including the Children’s Room.) For years we given space to the local Unitarian Fellowship on a Sunday, once a month. This seems to work fine.
I live directly upstairs from the Meeting House and can hear furniture being moved and the extractor fans in the toilets etc !
I would love to take on the Romanian Christian Group who are eager for the space but my dilemma is that Sundays afternoons are a time to stop and rest.
My question is: Do other Meeting Houses book groups on Sunday afternoons?
Is there an expectation to do this from your Meeting ?
Would this work if this was passed on to another person to clear away afterwards? Or can the Meeting House building just have a quiet afternoon ? (After the occasional shared lunch and talks of course.)
Thank you for any comments or shared experiences,
Jane K.
Warden
