Yorkshire Young Friends

The first open committee meeting of Yorkshire and Durham Young Friends was held in Leeds in January 1927. After the meeting in February 1929 in Newscastle, the group split into two and continued to meet separately, in the case of Yorkshire at least until 1946. The group organised discussion week-ends, often at Airton Friends Hostel, and began a series of visits to Friends schools in 1931, with the aim of recruiting future members.
