A couple of pictures from Bradford on Avon: our garden (the seating area of which was used for our mid-week Meeting for Worship yesterday evening, and it appears that the most recent garden visitors - or squatters? - are a family of rats, something to investigate further), and our sign that, I guess, says it all (pictured here with one of our local stonemasons at work). Best wishes, Klaus Huber Resident Warden, Bradford on Avon On Thu, May 16, 2024 at 5:56 PM Preston Quaker Meeting House < prestonqmh@gmail.com> wrote:
Hello Wardens
Here is a picture of the front of Preston MH. You can see the blue"flag" sign which is usefully easy to see from a distance because the road is long and straight. We put up the sign about five years ago and I wish we had made it bigger.
The garden is two allotments, let to local residents. I'll not send a picture of them because they are, like most allotments, untidy. [image: Preston FMH]

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.
