Membership statistics
Derek Peirce considers the integrity of the tabular statement
A paragraph on the Eye page in a recent issue of the Friend (1 July) drew attention to the difference in the new Book of Meetings between the number of members recorded for each Meeting and the average attendance at Meetings for Worship ‘as reported by each Meeting’. I do not know where the latter figures come from since I have never been asked, as membership clerk for my Area Meeting, to provide a regular formal record or estimate of this. (The only possible source I can think of is the one-off snapshot return requested separately from Meetings by Bill Chadkirk and Ben Pink Dandelion in May 2010.)
