A good attendance to hear from Ben Beck about Quakerism via a zoom link which was a bit temperamental at times, but we got there, thanks to IT whizz Shirley stepping in! The information came thick and fast but luckily, Ben has promised to send a list of links to various Quaker sites. It will appear on the Links page as soon as I have it.
