Annual Parochial Church Meeting (AGM)
The Annual Parochial Church Meeting took place in church on Tuesday 25 April, when Brenda & Herbert we re-elected for another year. The PCC members remain the same. with the addition of Jessica Lyons. We are pleased to have a new face to join us, to help run St Edmund’s!
Various Officers gave their reports on last year’s activities, and looked forward to this year. (You can view our forthcoming events in the Diary section of this website).
As you will know, Robert, our Rector, is retiring at the end of June, and his successor (Revd Mark Rodel) has already been appointed. We are looking to the Diocese to provide strong support in this new venture of part-time lecturer at St John’s College/part-time Parish Priest. Our financial position is stable, but the coffers are far from overflowing!
