Get involved early!
There are lots of moving parts to a Yearly Meeting with a large number of Friends involved.

Many Friends offer a Friendly School or a Share and Tell and are planning now.  National committees have held Preparatory Sessions and Information Sessions in May, with more Information Sessions in June.  Regional Meetings and some online Meetings for Worship are offering an Epilogue and providing Elders and Pastoral Carers.  You might offer to help by being a zoom host or on the Help Desk. Many people who support events gather earlier to learn what is needed and build skills.  Registering early helps us identify you and connect you to an organising group.

Most people choose to be in a Home Group during Yearly Meeting to make new friends and be part of a small group sharing thoughts as events unfold.  Everyone who wants to be in a Home Group needs to be allocated to one and, when you register, you can let us know if a morning or an afternoon Home Group is better for you.

Registering and telling us how you would like to be part of Yearly Meeting helps the Organising Committee to plan well and create a rich, spirit-led, exciting Yearly Meeting for all. 

Stay informed!
Registering for Yearly Meeting early also means you will be included when we send out updates by email. You will hear when to register for your Friendly School and be advised when the Share and Tells have been added to the July timetable.

Why does the registration form ask for a $ contribution?
Having you join us at Yearly Meeting is more important than whether you can make a contribution. Please register now and, if you are able, make a contribution at the time or later.  We will not look for payments made into the bank account, so it's fine if you can't pay.

We suggest a contribution of $50, if you are able. This is the same as last year. Some might like to contribute more.

Last year, Yearly Meeting 2022 was held online and incurred direct costs of nearly $5,000. These included: tech software and licences; the Help Desk phone; catering for the Clerking Team; and flights, accommodation and meals for the Assistant Clerk who travelled to Perth to work closely with the Clerking Team. Contributions from Friends participating in Yearly Meeting 2022 raised $8,450. The extra funds above expenses were a small but appreciated contribution toward the costs of the Yearly Meeting Office, whose work is essential in holding Yearly Meeting.  

Raising these funds allows Yearly Meeting to be self-financing, drawing contributions from Friends who participate in Yearly Meeting. In earlier years, substantial funds have been obtained through Regional Meetings, where contributions were made by the membership generally. 

This year, Yearly Meeting 2023 costs will be at least as much as last year and could be more. We hope to again be able to make a small contribution toward the costs of the Yearly Meeting Office.
