NOTE CHANGE OF DATE

Annual General Meeting 2010
7 March at 11.00 am

We wish to inform the parish early of our hopes for vestry 2010. Vestry members are expected to be people who are:

  • Open
  • Available
  • Team players
  • Regular worshippers
  • Committed to stewardship
  • Energetic
  • Active thinkers

Eligibility:         on the Parish roll for 2 months prior to the AGM.

Election 2010:            Positions for election are:

1.                  People’s warden

2.                  One Lay Synod Member (due to the retirement of one current member)

3.                  Four (4) Vestry members

Sub-districts:   Diocesan statute states that in the case of a parish having sub-districts, at least one representative from each will have a place reserved for them to ensure an evenly balanced vestry. A fortunate situation of elected members for 2009 saw this achieved.
Treasurer: this is seen as an appointed position (with the person co-opted as a full member of vestry)
Co-opted members:   vestry reserves the right to co-opt, should the need arise.

All parishioners on the Parish Roll for a period of two months or more are eligible to have voting and speaking rights at the AGM.

Notice of motions will be posted more than 10 days prior to the meeting.

If you have Items for the agenda of the meeting please forward to the Parish Office
before 19th February 2010.
