Please join us after the 9:30 Music Group Eucharist on Sunday 18 May for our Annual Parochial Church Meeting, preceded by the Annual Parish Meeting for the election of churchwardens.
This is your chance to elect a new Parochial Church Council (we hope you are happy with the current one, but there are some vacant slots and we would love to hear some new voices). You will be able to receive reports about how well we have done over the past year – or how badly, but we think we are making good progress.
You can download the reports in advance, as well as both the full accounts and a shorter, simplified document, from here.
