From tabards and sashes to Penington-penned preface
Exeter Quakers stand out
Sheets and marker pens have inspired some industrious activity in Exeter Meeting.
It all began when a group of Friends decided to join the ‘Wrap Up Trident’ demonstration, held in London on 24 January. The group decided against carrying the large Meeting banner and poles, which left Bridget Oliver with a conundrum.
She told Eye: ‘I thought, “it would be good for people in the crowd to know that we were Exeter Quakers”. So, the day before the rally I bought a black pen that would write on fabric and found some old sheet. Using pinking shears, I cut some oblongs and then wrote Exeter Quakers on each one. I found some safety pins and then my kit was ready.’
