CAPE WESTERN MONTHLY MEETING

OF THE RELIGIOUS SOCIETY OF FRIENDS (QUAKERS)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quakers

This is an unprogrammed Meeting

It consists of Mowbray Meeting and South Peninsula Allowed Meeting

Mowbray Meeting
Meeting for Worship is held on Sundays at 9h30 a.m. at Quaker House, Rye
Road, Mowbray, followed by Afterwords, Introductions, Personal Messages,
Notices and tea
Attendance fluctuates between about 12 and about 20 people. The members take
turns to be Head of Meeting, and a Tea-Making rota is in operation. Once a
month (usually on the 3rd Sunday) Elders meet after Meeting to consider
Meeting affairs. For any further details contact the clerk Kaye Foskett 0827327011

South Peninsula Meeting (SP)
Meeting for Worship is held on 2nd Sunday at Winifred Bond's home
(0217888336) & on 4th Sundays at either Gregory Salters (0217801171) or Di
Salters (0217861910) houses. The normal 5th Sunday in the month Meeting is
sometimes at Gillian Hawkes house (0217824771) Attendance is about 8 to 10
people on average. For any further details and confirmation of the venue
contact Lewis Watling (0217825848)

Meeting for Worship for Business
This is held every second month on the first Sunday at 11h00 starting in
February. Usually the Meeting is finished by 1 p.m. This two-monthly
schedule is what the Meeting decided on for conducting the business of the
Meeting. Interim business is conducted by elders, email, and notices,
agendas, and minutes are circulated by email; this system seems to work
well. The meeting has decided to use the alternate First Sunday for special
meetings to do with Quakerism followed by a Bring & Share lunch.

Joint Meetings
From time to time members of the Mowbray Meeting and South Peninsula Meeting
normally meet for a joint meeting on 5th Sundays of the month when they
occur.

The popular joint Easter Sunrise meeting at Fisherman's Beach, Froggy Pond,
is a highlight.
A Prayer Group meets every Wednesday afternoon at Quaker House at 5pm and is
reported to produce remarkable results.
A Light group has been started and meets at the meeting house on Thursdays.
