Wilmslow Friends ‘Get Together’
Friends in Wilmslow took part in 'Great Get Together' events
Wilmslow Quakers, together with Transition Wilmslow, teamed up with the town’s monthly Artisan Market to put on ‘The Great Wilmslow Get Together’ on 17 June. This was one of many events that took that weekend to remember Jo Cox MP. Market-goers were offered gingham ribbon and pennants. Over 100 stallholders entered into the spirit, many wearing the gingham theme and decorating their displays. A ‘Great Family Bike Ride’ also took place in the afternoon.
Wilmslow Friend Pat Baker told the Friend that ‘the day engendered a spirit of love and peace and hope for our communities to go forward in harmony and understanding’ as visitors reflected on Jo Cox’s words: ‘We have more in common than that which divides us.’

Back in the 1970s we were attenders at Wilmslow Friends Meeting. It is great to get news of that vibrant meeting. I miss them. They were wonderfully supportive when my husband died shortly after our return to the USA. Now living in Colorado and member of Durango Friends.
love and blessings to all
