Some flair at groups fair
The groups fair was more focused and less frenetic than in recent years. More than thirty groups took part, with tables in the courtyard and surrounding corridors at Friends House.
Quaker Action on Alcohol and Drugs, the Quaker Disability Equality Group and the Northfield Ecocentre were among those represented.
Quaker Concern for the Abolition of Torture took a novel approach. Instead of taking a table at the fair, a representative chose to walk among visitors wearing an apron, its pockets filled with promotional material.
