| Description | In 1893, after a resignation from a member of the Society, it came to the attention of the Monthly Meeting that it could be doing more to care for its young members. To this end a committee was established to arrange gatherings for those who had recently left school. The committee arranged occasional gatherings of a semi-social nature and talks on religious subjects for a number of years but problems arose and it was laid down in November 1899.
A new standing committee for boys and girls who had recently left school was started in 1905, again to welcome young people over the age of 15 into Warwickshire North Monthly Meeting. Members of the Committee included Florence Barrow, John H. Lloyd, Agnes A. Barrow, Oliver Morland, Beatrice Cadbury, William A. Cadbury, Theodora M. Wilson, Rosamund A. Bayes, Arthur T. Little, and Evelyn Sturge. Each year an annual social meeting was held at a Friend's house until December 1919 when the Committee asked Warwickshire North Monthly Meeting to discharge it from its duties because it felt that although the annual meetings had been of value to the young members of the Society of Friends, they were insufficient to meet young Friends' needs.
