Dear Friends I couldn't choose, and could never conform completely, so I've attached more photos than suggested, of the front and the signage. I have also provided links to these plus a few more the photos - too large to attach. The missing pictures that might be of interest are of the car park - we have space for about 9 cars, including a space for the Warden and two specified accessible spaces, plus some bike racks and a turning area. Although its very nice to have, the car park is more trouble than it's worth, there are 'carpark wars' everyday, which leave some very disgruntled U3A visitors who feel they should always be allowed to book a space, just because. Having said that, I wouldn't be without my space; even though I don't have a car at the moment, its frequently used by contractors doing work here, or Friends who haven't managed to get one of the few spaces... Some links to photos of the garden and building signage etc: LMQH front facade from side of front garden.jpg <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GkeBz2mJl5I3V5s5yGy6675O3sD5Nvfg/view?usp=d...> LMQH front facade.jpg <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JB_D4sFcSCZ-wH9C2sVBsUvGULjvw2-G/view?usp=d...> LMQH front of building and signage from across the road.jpg <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1K4cy2EiRwU2wQcoUD4WRm3S5DTf43U-3/view?usp=d...> LMQH Meeting House sign from the main road.jpg <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Zu44pcMxP684aX4UgoBtMyIGxZrma6d_/view?usp=d...> LMQH side or main garden - old burial ground.jpg <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FGZPIZn_Zkz5ZFeyrwGte8Qzj-jcW4y6/view?usp=d...> LMQH side or main garden with corner of Meeting Room.jpg <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ua362PXmF22wujBWpkS9sObBHE-ZsULe/view?usp=d...> LMQH The Dell.jpg <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1klWniIgGgzW5Hn9VYqC24-xsVS8GdmTc/view?usp=d...> LMQH View of Meeting Room behind apple tree.jpg <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Tr8UHQjp46kugknqSqgRjrkeHzO-IRi4/view?usp=d...> The signage is there, and can be seen, but I get people popping in who say they've caught trains from the station daily for years, but never noticed the building. The building is set back from the road, and is higher up, so not easily seen, particularly when the leaves are on the trees. But everyone is delighted to find it when they eventually do. As we are on the local Slave Trade Walk, often used by educators in the area but available to any Lancaster visitor, we are having more people coming up the steps and into the grounds, to look at the sign in the outer lobby, and 'find' the unmarked grave. Look forward to seeing you all in the morning.

Hello everyone,
I hope that you are all well.
There is going to be a session of Meeting House Matters on * Tuesday, 21 May at 10.30am*. This time we are going to be looking at things around visibility and what our spaces say about us. Does your Quaker meeting house have a garden and what is it used for? What does it say about the community or the premises as a venue?
If you can please share by email reply to this message before the meeting:
- A picture of your meeting house signage - Your meeting garden (just one image if possible) - Any visual clues that help people know that your building is a Quaker meeting house or help hirers find the premises
This is an online session which will be on Zoom and you can join using the Zoom details below.
