Archived Yearly Meeting Planning Support Committee

NOTE:

The Committee was laid down at YM 2021

A new Yearly Meeting Organising Committee was appointed to take its place (this Committee is not Regional Meeting specific, and has members from various Regional Meetings.) 

Unfortunately, the Yearly Meeting Planning Support Committee's original web pages were not retained. Set out below is some of the information from them, although not all the links still work.

It's purpose was:

As the Yearly Meeting is hosted by a different Regional Meeting each year, this Committee provides assistance and continuity for the various  Planning Committees. It consists of Friends from different Regional Meetings with particular expertise. These Friends can assist YM hosting committees. It provides the registration process and a website for use during Yearly Meeting to show the timetable, reports, minutes, comments and other documents.

Main Content of the page:

The Committee has also produced a Planning Manual for use by the various Regional Meeting Planning Committees. The manual is not meant to be prescriptive; it is to help Friends taking on a task, elaborating how the planning has been done previously, and can be done well.

Since Yearly Meetings have gone to an online format, much of the information in this manual is not relevant. When we return to in-person events, a lot will have changed, so the manual will need significant revision.

Further Survey and Statistical information is available,which provides extra planning resources.

The manual is certainly a work in progress. No function description is complete, many already out of date! The committee will work to update the sections of the manual. We hope innovations will occur, requiring frequent adjustment of the manual. Other Friends who have accumulated relevant experience are invited to contribute as well.
