Preparing for Yearly Meeting 2026, part one

‘We don’t need to be perfect, we just need to do our best.’

by Joseph Jones, Rebecca Hardy, and Elinor Smallman 27th March 2026

This year’s preparation sessions for Yearly Meeting (YM) are happening a couple of weeks before YM itself, preceeded by the usual round of special interest group Meetings. Friends have to choose between a range of overlapping sessions, but at the Friend we’ve tried to get to as many as possible. Sessions are continuing as we go to press, so we’ll have more next week – as many of the words as we can, but (as Eric Morecambe might have had it), not necessarily in the right order.
