Summer Social and Open Day

Venue: Crawshawbooth Meeting House, BB4 8AG

   
We have received an invitation from Pendle Hill AM Friends to their Summer Social and Open Day at Crawshawbooth Meeting House on Saturday 17th August 2024.

Friends intend to gather from about 10.30 am, bringing food for a shared lunch, and have a short Meeting for Worship at 11am followed by a shared lunch and fellowship in the garden.
    
There will then be performances from the St Nicholas Choir at 1pm and Stacksteads Brass Band at 2pm.
   
There will be a charge of £5 on the day to cover the musical entertainment and strawberries and cream.
     
Pendle Hill Friends hope that Craven & Keighley Friends will be able to join them and that we can renew the friendships we made at the ceilidh.
