A Quaker Jamboree

Eye was delighted to hear about the first Leicester Area Meeting Jamboree, which took place on Saturday 17 September. The event brought together almost a hundred Friends of all ages from Leicester, Loughborough, Oakham and Rugby Meetings for a day of worship, activities and cups of tea!

The aim of the day was to help Friends from different local Meetings to get to know each other and build bonds within the Area Meeting community – outside of Area Meetings themselves.
