Following on from our highly successful February zoom talk with over 70 attendees, we come to the last in the current series, proceeded by a short AGM details of which can be found by clicking on the 'AGM' heading above. These will take place on March 14th 2022 at 7.30pm in the Lunesdale Hall.
The talk is entitled 'Cumberland to Pennsylvania a Quaker journey' to be given by Chris Craghill. The Fell family of Longlands in the Northern Fells of the English Lake District suffered when they became followers of George Fox in the mid-17th century, triggering the
youngest son, Joseph, to take his family to Pennsylvania in1703, where they became part of a flourishing Quaker community, yet still managed to keep their links with home. More details can be found by using this link.
The Society recently completed the repair of 5 benches around the town. Details can be found under the 'What We Do' drop down menu above option 'Town Benches'.
We have also been busy as a committee during the lockdown and have produced a newsletter highlighting some of the things we have achieved and a few thoughts on the future. You can find out more details by clicking here and here.
