About this website...
Who and what is it for?
This website, at www.HertfordAndHitchinQuakers.org.uk, or www.hhq.org.uk, is for and about the Hertford and Hitchin Area Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). Many of our pages have on the right-hand side a basic information sidebar about Quakers, with links for further information.
People associated with our Meetings may have formal membership of the Society (Members) or they may have a less formal relationship (Attenders), but regardless of the formality or otherwise, all are regarded as Quakers or "Friends" and we are committed to equal treatment of all Friends as far as possible.
There are two objectives of the website:
-
to provide information about the Area Meeting (the AM) to any interested person
-
| to be a resource for Friends.

Our Local Meetings
There are currently six Local Meetings within the Area Meeting
(
Guilden Morden,
Hertford,
Hitchin,
Letchworth,
Stevenage,
Welwyn Garden City
)
and each Local Meeting has a section which describes where and when it meets for worship, how to contact the Meeting, etc. Many of our pages have on the left-hand side a sidebar with links to the pages about the specific Meetings, as does the "Local Meetings" page.
Public vs Restricted Access
There are also sections of the website which relate to the internal business of the Area Meeting, and some of these section have restriced access, mainly to preserve the privacy of individuals. Some individuals who have specific roles in the Area and Local Meetings may have names and/or contact information made public, otherwise we try to protect our Friends' privacy. If you are one of our Friends, you can apply for a password to access the restricted areas
(see the "Members/Attenders" section).
The current sections of the website are:
-
| Local Meetings
|
| with information about each Meeting.
This section provides the "landing page" for the website as a whole,
as enquirers are likely to want to know about their Local Meeting.

Area Meeting sessions for business.
