2020 Annual Church Meetings

The 2020 APCM should have been held on 26 April 2020 but was postponed due to the Caronavirus pandemic. Following special dispensation by the Church of England, the deadline for holding the Meeting of Parishioners to elect Church Wardens and the Annual Parochial Church Meeting has been deferred to 31 October 2020. As a result of this deferral the members of the PCC completing their term of office have had their tenure extended as follows:

1. Church Wardens will continue in office until 31st January 2021

2. The term of office of current representatives of the laity on deanery synods is extended until 30th November 2020.

3. The term of office of current representatives of the laity on the PCC whose terms of office was due to expire this year, will continue in office until the end of the deferred APCM.

The PCC has decided that the 2020 Annual Church Meetings will be held on 18 October 2020

It is hoped that the Meeting of Parishioners to elect Church Wardens and the Annual Parochial Church Meeting will be held in the St Barnabas Centre on Sunday 18 October 2020.

All the papers relating to the meeting will be shown below as soon as they are ready and may be downloaded from the website or printed. We would encourage you to avoid printing documents and access them on a tablet or laptop. This can be achieved by downloading the papers and storing them on the device or alternatively Wi-Fi access is available in the Barn with the username Onecom354 and the password is CP1844AD0EM.

As usual we hope to provide a small number of printed copies for those members of the Church family who do not have internet access.

Please be aware that physically holding the Annual Church Meetings is dependent on lockdown being eased sufficiently for us to open our buildings. We will update this page as required.”

I have included the same Wi-Fi access information as last year. If this is incorrect, please amend it as required. Thanks.

We can include under this the Annual Report and Accounts 2019 already sent to you; I attach the Group Reports for 2019 and the minutes of the 2019 meetings are also attached. The three nomination forms at the end of the 2019 list can be copied to 2020 as they are the same. I will look to prepare or collect the remaining papers in the coming days.

 

After the 2020 meetings notice please retain “APCM 2019” and the documents but replace the wording with:

 

” The Annual Church Meetings were held in the St Barnabas Centre on Sunday 28 April 2019 and the papers relating to the meeting are shown below and may be downloaded if you wish. These are for information and will remain on the website until the 2020 APCM has taken place.

 

 It is good for the environment if you can avoid printing documents and access them on a tablet or laptop. This can be achieved by downloading the papers and storing them on the device or alternatively Wi-Fi access is available in the Barn with the user-name Onecom354 and the password is CP1844AD0EM.
