Register of Vestry members
The register of vestry members has to be update annually. At our next Vestry meeting on the 20th February we will be updating this. If you are not on the list, or not sure if you are on the list please talk to the Rector or Churchwardens and they will give you a form for completion. You need to be on the register to have a vote to elect those who you wish to have on the Select Vestry for the coming year.
A special word of thanks was expressed at the recent vestry meeting to William Bartels, Robert Gardiner and Richard Lynch for their work in sorting the toilets and septic tank in St. James Hall. It took three days early in January to do this. Thanks again for spending the time to sort out the problem.
Confirmation: If you know of anyone for confirmation later this year please let the Rector know as soon as possible.
