The members of the Parochial Church Council are trustees of St Mary’s church charity, much as governors of a school are responsible for the general oversight and wellbeing of the school. Trustees are elected by all those on the Electoral Roll of the parish – and anyone who is resident in the parish is entitled to be on the Roll – application forms are available here.
Every year there is an Annual Meeting and a Vestry meeting in the parish. This year’s meeting is on Tuesday 20th May at 7.30 in St. Mary’s church.
the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) is in effect the AGM of the church. The rules of its agenda and content are set by the Church of England. It is open to all members on the Electoral roll of the parish. Annual meetings (APCMs) take place in parishes before 31st May each year. The annual meeting receives reports on changes to the electoral roll, secretary’s report, churchwardens report, safeguarding reports, general parish activities, and financial matters. The Annual meeting also elects new members to the PCC (Parochial Church Council) annually and to Deanery Synod every three years.
Although only those who are on the church electoral roll are eligible to vote, all residents of the parish are invited to attend the APCM.
The Vestry Meeting is held to elect the Churchwardens and deputies and it is open to all residents of the parish who are on the register of local government electors. All are eligible to vote at this meeting, or indeed stand for election.
