Photo Gallery of our open meeting 28.4.18 discussing militarism with Rhianna Louise from Forces Watch, Symon Hill from Peace Pledge Union, and Ellis Brooks from Quaker Peace & Social Witness.

A big thank you to our guests for coming and for all participants for making a stimulating afternoon.

Meet our member Walter Hayman – former university mathematician with his own memoirs in print – My life and Functions – he is generous and caring towards members and attenders, and can usually be expected to turn up on a Sunday morning, and participate in our business meetings and shared lunches. He was generous enough to agree to be photographed for the website.
