APCM paperwork packs 2019In the week beginning 21 January 2019, all parishes were sent their Annual Parochial Church Meeting letter and paperwork packs. These were sent primarily to PCC Secretaries, or in parishes without someone in post to an administrator or churchwarden. A copy of the letter can be found here. If you do not think you have received your letter and pack please contact joanne.ridley@chester.anglican.org
Preparation of the new Electoral Roll 2019Advice and information for parishes regarding the preparation of a new Electoral Roll this Spring can be found on the Parish Resources website here. PCC Secretaries will receive a letter and paperwork pack relating to the APCM from the Diocesan Secretary by the beginning of February. However, you should note that two months' notice of the roll renewal must be given which means that you need to think quite far in advance when planning the date of your APCM. A helpful list of dates can be found here.

I was born and grew up in Liverpool and studied at Liverpool Bluecoat School before reading Mathematics at Brasenose College Oxford. After graduating I trained and qualified as a Chartered Accountant in Liverpool. I then worked for the Charity Commission as a Senior Accountant where my main role was providing accounting support, advice and training to the Charity Commission staff and Charity trustees. I met my wife Andrea at Oxford. She worked as a Computer Analyst before taking on the job of looking after our two children. We worship at St Ann's Church Warrington, where I play the keyboard and am currently Churchwarden after previously having been treasurer for many years. Andrea runs the Guides. My interests include visiting historic monuments particularly castles, music and swimming. I am keen to hear from everyone involved in the Church's mission, and to ensure that the very best support is available to parishes, clergy and to others who follow Christ's call in our diocese.
