Yearly Meeting 2026

Dunedin Monthly Meeting warmly invites Friends to attend Yearly Meeting.

Yearly Meeting (YM) is set for Friday 10 April to Monday 13 April, 2026.

There is an optional preparation day from 2pm, Thursday 9 April, until lunch on Friday 10 April. 

YM begins with the evening meal on Friday 10th April. The first session starts at 7pm. 

Yearly Meeting ends with lunch on Monday 13 April.

The venue is Columba College, a Presbyterian girls' high school at 399 Highgate, Roslyn, Dunedin. We have booked a modern boarding block for accommodation. See https://www.columbacollege.school.nz/boarding/

There is step-free access to sleeping accommodation, meals, and meeting rooms. The YM sessions are hybrid, i.e. can be attended either in person or online. Both members and attenders of our YM are welcome; Monthly Meetings will be asked to minute in advance the names of attenders they commend. Members and attenders of YMs or other Quaker bodies elsewhere are also welcome, and are encouraged to bring a letter of greeting from their home meeting. 

Note that the Preparation Day is NOT hybrid.

The Local Arrangements Committee of Dunedin Monthly Meeting is working on fuller details and registration
forms, and hopes to have these sent directly to Meetings and available via the quakers.nz website by the end of
January. Please address correspondence meanwhile to ymlac@ym.quakers.nz.

Friends are reminded that YM takes place during the school holidays, on the weekend after Easter. We
recommend booking transport as early as possible.

Registrations are not open yet. When they are, a link will be provided here.
