Sat 8th Sept, Huddersfield

Autumn Strategy Gathering

Gather in Huddersfield this November with Quaker Roots to strategise actions and campaigns to get Clarion Events to drop the DSEI Arms Fair.

In September Quaker Roots went to Clarion events offices in Putney to hand in our demand that they drop DSEI from their events. We have had no acknowledgement or answer, and so will be gathering this 8th November to strategise and plan how to get this done. This event is open to all Friends (members or attenders) who feel called to help take this strategy forward as part of the Quaker Roots community.

 

Friday 7th Nov: PM arrivals in Huddersfield, if travelling. Robin from Huddersfield Meeting can support with local homestays.

Saturday 8th Nov: 10:30 - 5pm Strategy day focused on Clarion Events, at Huddersfield Meeting House. Day will include participatory campaign design and planning for future actions. Includes breaks.

Sunday 9th Nov: Optional social Sunday, with Meetings for Worship at Huddersfield Meeting House, followed by lunch and a walk in the local countryside. Departures early-mid afternoon

Sessions will be run by Quaker Roots and Lyndsay Burtonshaw from Quaker Peace & Social Witness, Quakers in Britain. Any questions contact LyndsayB@quaker.org.uk
