The first ever Devon and Cornwall Residential Gathering was held at the beginning of June and proved to be a great success. It was a chance for different generations to spend time together; an opportunity for disparate groups of rural Quaker activists to network, encourage and support each other; a space to restore one’s sanity in peace and quiet; a place for Young Friends to grow together; and a chance for enquirers, especially families, to be welcomed and learn about Quakerism in a relaxing environment.
