2025 Revision of General Vestry Register
Each January the Diocese asks us to fulfil our annual constitutional requirement to revise the register of general vestry people.
This is a register of all adult parishioners (18+) who are members of the Church of Ireland, and who are not registered in any other parish. Only those on the general register will be entitled to vote at the annual Easter General Vestry Meeting to be held in the Spring, or to serve on the Select Vestry, and in some other offices.
If you are new to the parish or have not registered previously, please complete this form and send it to the Rector by 22 January.
Thank you.

The General Vestry meeting is similar to an AGM, when those present will hear a review of the main happenings of the past twelve months, get a chance to hear and discuss plans for the future, and be presented with the parish accounts for year ended 31 December 2022.
The meeting will also elect members to the Select Vestry (the management committee of the Parish); People’s Church Warden (assists on Sunday mornings and other events) and Glebe’s Warden ( responsible for upkeep of Rectory & church grounds).
The Rector will announce her choice for the appointments of Rector’s Church Warden and Rector’s Glebe’s Warden.
While only those on the official parish general register are entitled to vote (should a vote arise), everyone is welcome to attend and speak.
it is important that as many people as possible come along to get a sense of what it takes to run the parish and have a say in how we proceed. Please make every effort to attend. Thank you.
