+ Woodbrooke: numbers down over several years.  Renew purpose to meet
+ friends and peoples needs.  Survey done: Woodbrooke needs to come to
+ Friends, and too expensive (c.f. someone from Friends House 'for

+ "Woodbrooke should not be a privilege for the rich".

+ Simpler meetings: 500+ Friends involved in governance/decision-making
+ about centrally-funded work.  Free up that effort to do other things.

+ discernment not reflecting the breadth of the YM.

+This has come around again from several English AMs.  Attempted to
