Nine Young Friends enjoyed a trip to 1652 country in the north of England where they enjoyed learning about the roots of Quakerism.

The Quaker Historical Committee has just published a remarkable book with the title The Quakers of Baltyboys, Co. Wicklow, Ireland 1678 to 1800s, which was launched in June in connection with the author, John Hussey’s, lecture.

The book tells the story of the Quakers who settled in west Wicklow and became involved first in the wool trade and, when it collapsed, in the weaving industry.  Its particular interest lies in the details it provides of the fortunes of a small rural community of Friends.

Copies are available for €10 from Friends Historical Library, Stocking Lane, Dublin 16.

Leinster Quarterly Meeting will take place in Enniscorthy on Saturday 24th June.

Following meeting for worship at 11am, there will be a business session.

Following packed lunch there will be a worship sharing session with the theme of forgiveness.

The day will conclude with the famous Enniscorthy tea with strawberries and cream and home-made cakes!
