Local history

Provisional 2008, recognised 2009. Its correspondence with South House takes a week; its correspondence with the North House takes three, and the circle has said in two returns that it prefers this to the alternative.

The outward obligation

Records and conservation

Records and reading service, held with a municipal library service and a community legal centre.

Plain repair of reading copies, and a weekly table where members help people order, read, and copy their own official records.

The forms it carries

  • The Quiet Twelve

    Twelve minutes are kept before the reading. Nothing is assigned to the silence.

  • The Repair Table

    A table, a bench, or a marked shelf where ordinary objects wait to be mended.

  • The Weather Entry

    Before the first shared meal of the month, one person writes the weather in the house book.
