Electoral Roll

The Electoral Roll of the parish – of which people must be a member to stand for or vote in church leadership elections – was reviewed over the period from 17th March to 28th April.  At last year's meeting there were 328 members of the Electoral Roll.  During the year 19 names were added to the roll and 44 names removed.  The Roll therefore stands at 303.

We strongly encourage members of the church family who are not yet on the Electoral Roll to register, and this can be done by collecting a form at the InfoHub or online here. 
 

Election of Church Wardens

Diane Noon was nominated by Emelye Chanot and Owen Kirkham.  Mark Orriss was nominated by David Walker and Valerie Groves.  They were elected to serve as Church Wardens for the coming year.
