Parish AGM

A good feeling predominated throughout our meeting last week, helped by encouraging reports from our Priest in Charge and our treasurer in particular. Despite a very large payment for the re-roofing of the church, we ended the year with a very small deficit.

Rowena was re-elected unapposed as Peoples' Warden, and it is hoped that the bishop will re-appoint Alistair as Bishops' Warden. Those elected to Vestry are: Carol, Jean, Basil, Rosalie, Jacquie, Phil, Louise, Ray and Maryalyce.
