At New Barnet, we struggled to find people willing/able to handle the technology so we compromised by meeting in our own homes on Zoom one week and meeting in-person at the Meeting House on alternate weeks. This seems to be working well. Through the Zoom sessions we have increased our links with people in the wider Area Meeting and others, who have moved away from us, or are housebound, are now able to join us regularly again. And perhaps the in-person meetings at the Meeting House are even more appreciated because they are not so frequent, so even more valued.Jane Elms -----Original Message----- From: Jane Keay via wardenship <wardenship@lists.quaker.eu.org> To: wardenship@lists.quaker.eu.org <wardenship@lists.quaker.eu.org> CC: Jane Keay <wardenjanekeay@mac.com> Sent: Tue, 21 Mar 2023 11:04 Subject: [wardenship] Enquiry regarding Meetings Dear Wardens, Resident Friends and others overseeing Meeting Houses, I have a quick question please. At Watford Quaker Meeting House all our MfW on Sundays are Blended. We have a large screen with roughly 30 - 50% of Members and Attenders = joining on Zoom. Since Covid this has always been the way. As a Meeting we are very split, some dislike the screen in the hall and = are seeking alternatives and others see inclusivity as the future . How are other Meeting Houses addressing the issue of Blended Meetings ?=20= Just a few lines would be helpful. Watford Meeting have a full = discussion on the 26th March. I hope this is ok to ask this, I realise it is not about buildings and = employment but as a Warden I feel I need some clearness. In Friendship, Jane Keay Watford _______________________________________________ wardenship mailing list -- wardenship@lists.quaker.eu.org To unsubscribe send an email to wardenship-leave@lists.quaker.eu.org
