You may already be aware that the decision has been made to lay down Rathfarnham Preparative Meeting with effect from 30th September 2025.

Friends are asked to recall their memories of Rathfarnham Meeting. A dedicated email account has been set up for this purpose: rathfarnhammemories@gmail.com.

We hope that Friends will share their memories, whether in the form of photographs, drawing/painting, poetry, or other writing. If sending images, please insert the date, occasion and identity of the figures in the photographs. We have set a deadline of 31st July for email submissions.

A Gathering of Friends will take place on Saturday 13th September in Rathfarnham Meeting House (further details to follow separately but save the date!). We encourage everyone to bring along photographs or memorabilia they may have, to display on tables for all attendees to view.

It is intended to compile writings and images into a Memory Book and make it available to Friends at the end of 2025.

We look forward to receiving and sharing your memories. You can spread the word to those who may be interested using this flyer.

Anna Harrison, Valerie Howard
