More about YM23 in July   
Yearly Meeting is an online-only gathering over 9 days from Saturday 1st July to Sunday 9 July 2023. 

There will be two consecutive long weekends (Sat-Mon and Fri-Sun) with one or two formal sessions each day, Meetings for Worship, Home Groups and more.  The first weekend begins on Saturday with the "Welcome to All" session for everyone including the children, JYFs and First Timers, the "Welcome to Country" and the State of the Society address. Friendly School is on Sunday. The consideration of business begins on Monday. 

In the middle three days (Tues - Thurs) there is more time to rest, gather locally together for outdoor activities, attend the Backhouse Lecture on Tuesday evening, and select some online Share and Tells to explore.  When you look at the timetable, you will see that many other sessions continue across these days.   

There will be many opportunities for social time together: Home Groups, Social Mingle times, and evening Convivial Hours.  Rainbow Friends and Allies will gather over lunch on Tuesday.  The Under 50's will gather in the evening on Sunday and Thursday.

The timetable is in an external app, and has controls that enable you to display it differently.  

  • When you open the YM23 timetable, check you are looking at early July.  If not, scroll until you reach July 1st. This is quickest if you are on a "month" display.
  • To change the display to 3 days at a time, a week etc -- go to the top left corner, and note the drop-down list -- you can select display by the "day", "week" or "month". With a "day" display you can select one, two or three days. 
  • Learn more by clicking on the session and reading the notes "What is this?" or "Who is this for?".
    For instance, go to Saturday 1 July at 1 pm and double click on the "Welcome to All" session and then click on "Who is this for?".  Try another, go to 2:30 pm on Saturday, hover above "State of the Society" and click on "What is this?".
