Every year, two meetings have to take place not later than 31 May: The first is the ANNUAL MEETING OF PARISHIONERS which is a joint meeting of all those whose names are on the church electoral roll of the parish and those who are resident in the parish. Its purpose is to elect Churchwardens
The ANNUAL PAROCHIAL CHURCH MEETING (APCM) follows for those whose names are on the church Electoral Roll. A number of reports are given including changes to the Electoral Roll, a report on PCC and parish activities together with a financial account of the past year. Among other updates may be included Church Fabric (the building), the proceedings of the Deanery Synod and the implementation of Safeguarding Policies.
Nominations for PCC and Deanery Synod Representatives are received and voted upon.
Finally, the APCM provides a platform to discuss the church's future plans and goals and an opportunity to offer feedback and input on various aspects of church life.
