Hi Ollie As you said ’share’ by email reply to your message I guess you mean ’share all’ so that is what I’m doing. Here are pictures of the front of Horfield Meeting House in Bristol (with all the clutter of street furniture and bus stop that extends right across the front) and a snap of our walled back garden. I’ve added a picture of the panel of ceramic tiles of the Quaker Testimonies we created for the front wall overlooking the courtyard so you can see the detail. In friendship Judi    Judi Brill Resident Warden Horfield Quaker Meeting 300 Gloucester Road Horfield Bristol BS7 8PD ///beyond.always.proof Tel: 0117 942 9142 Mob: 07967 558615 horfield.warden@bristolquakers.org.uk https://bristolquakers.org.uk/room-hire/room-hire-at-horfield/

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.

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).

Judy's email prompted me to this, in part because we might be looking for more Quakerly artwork to brighten our passageway up and having seen how well photos can print onto dibond (see below) might be interested in reproducing the Horfield testimonies tiles. Could we create a library for sharing things like that so those who wanted to would have materials to brighten up their meeting houses? I'm afraid I didn't get a picture of the garden/burial ground in Saffron Walden, but I can tell you that we have designated it a peace garden and have our sayings relating to peace from a variety of traditions around the garden. These are written on slate (normal roof slates) with a weatherproof chalkboard marker. We let the grass grow over much of the burial ground and just mow trails around it and have a mown area at the top where we can hold meetings. With regard to the front of the building I have attached some photos. What to say about it. Environmental banner over portico door, stuck on with Nano tape. Surprisingly cheap at about £50. Someone had photos of mosaics at the Freinds School so we have tidied the photos up and had them printed on dibond sheets (1.2m maximum height) to brighten the place up. Posterboard on the front of the warden's house with a locally made 'A ship is safe in harbour, but that's not what ships are for.' poster. Dibond signs about the meeting and facilities. A leaflet dispenser which shifts 2 or 3 a week. Not great guns but that's 2 or 3 a week who know more about us than they would, and also send the message that we are welcoming. on the front of the meeting house a topical banner again stuck on with Nano tape. We were offered the LGBTQ all welcome here postcard-sized sticker a few weeks ago and put it on our front door too. A good message, I think. Hope some of this is useful.

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?
