A spud starter

The first donations have already started arriving from Friends in York Area Meeting who received a copy of the appeal leaflet with this month's Quakevine newsletter.

Meanwhile Friends at Friargate held their first fundraising event on Sunday after Meeting, by providing a baked potato lunch with lots of trimmings.

Janet Rowntree, aided by Inga and Simon Brereton (see photo) as well as Deborah "no photos of me please", daughter of our warden, organised.
A large number of Friends stayed on, though some needed to dash off to New Earswick for Area Meeting, and enjoyed being encouraged to queue jump.
