Reports for PCC AGM May 2023
Chairman’s Report
2022-23 has been quite eventful for our parish, triggered by the retirement of our rector Mark Cregan. Mark’s retirement coincided with the Diocese’s decision to redraw the benefice boundaries within the deanery of Chew Magna. A benefice is a group of parishes with one priest in charge. You are probably all aware that the Church of England has been reducing the number of clergy for many years. This means that each priest has to take on more churches and communities to look after.
It has been proposed that our current benefice – Clutton with Cameley, Bishop Sutton & Stowey – is broken up. We would join with Farmborough, Marksbury and Stanton Prior to form a new larger benefice. Bishop Sutton and Stowey would join with Hinton Blewitt and East & West Harptree (and possibly other parishes). Most other benefices in the Chew Magna Deanery are also being made larger. To say the least, the proposal has not met with universal approval! The deanery steering group is to reconsider their options and some of the proposed changes, we await their decision later this year. For that reason we have not been able to advertise for a new rector.
In November, the PCC raised its numbers to 12 and with the assistance of our volunteer administrator, Gill Hazell, have been running the parish since Mark left. Special thanks to Lynda Hooper and Brian Bailey who have stepped up to become Churchwardens and taken on the arranging of weddings, funerals and baptisms, aided by other PCC members. I would like to thank Gill Hazell for her work in booking retired priests to take our communion service and for setting up the churches for services each week. We have also enjoyed services from Al, Gill, Margaret and Doug & Angela Fraser, our thanks to them for their time and effort. Our thanks also go to Emily, who has recently started playing the piano/keyboard/organ for us at our weekly services. Having live music again has been very much appreciated by everyone. Thank you to you all – the congregation – for attending in such high numbers over the last few months. Most churches see a decline when in vacancy and we have seen the complete opposite, bless you all.
For many years, our PCC members have been very active in Cameley School, as governors and helpers and running “Open the Book” bringing Bible stories to the youngest members of our community. Lynda Hooper and Lorna Boyd have just stood down as Foundation Governors at Cameley School, following many years of dedicated work. I would like to thank them on behalf of the parish. Many children will have benefitted by the work they have done, establishing a Christian foundation in their lives. If anyone would like to become a governor, please let me know. Pat has represented the church at Clutton School for a long time and now Al and Helen have joined her – their first activity was explaining Lent to the children and we hope they will return many times to Clutton School in future months and that “Open the Book” will start there too.
The PCC has formed two sub-committees to look at pastoral visiting and the way we worship – we will be trying out a few new things over the coming year, don’t panic at the thought of change, we are just seeing what works and what doesn’t! It is so pleasing to see such enthusiasm for doing God’s work. We hope to restart services at Cholwell House.
Some of you may already be aware that the Diocese plan to sell The Rectory in Temple Cloud. This is not an unexpected development, the PCC have been aware for a while that it would be sold when Mark left. However, the PCC were also aware of an issue with the potential sale, as the whole of the car park belongs to The Rectory, not St Barnabas church. Selling the whole area would render St Barnabas unviable, the only car parking would be on the grassed area behind the church as all the adjacent roads have yellow lines. The PCC
immediately brought this to the attention of the Diocese and they are currently debating what to do. It is never an easy decision to close a church, it stands as evidence of active Christianity in the village, but we do have to be realistic about how many people attend church and the amount that needs to be spent on it, to bring it back to good condition. A dilemma for both the Diocese and ourselves. For this reason, we have limited our spending on all our buildings, pending the decision and the likely impact. We will keep you informed.
Finally, I would like to thank all our PCC members for their service over the last year, especially our Treasurer Roger Snary and Secretary Lorna Boyd, on whom the biggest burden falls. Margaret Marsland is standing down at this AGM and we have given her a small token of our appreciation at our last PCC meeting, thank you Margaret. Rose Mays
Secretary’s Report
I am pleased to report that that there has been a full complement of PCC members and Churchwardens since November 2023. PCC meetings have taken place every two months, very kindly hosted by Gill Hazell, so a huge thank you to her for her generous hospitality. Various sub-committees also meet regularly, with each reporting back to the PCC with information and, where appropriate, with items that need formally voting on. Like Rose, I, too, would like to thank everyone on the PCC and those who take care of a multitude of other vital tasks, such as cleaning, flower arranging, washing linen, providing lifts, etc, etc, all demonstrating the life of a church that has a real servant heart. In conclusion, I am sure that you would all agree with me that a special vote of thanks should go to our Chair, Rose Mays, for all her hard work and commitment on our behalf – thank you Rose! Lorna Boyd Secretary to the PCC
Electoral Roll at 5[th] May 2023
There are currently 66 names on the Electoral Roll, on display in both St Augustine’s and St Barnabas but since that list was prepared, 4 people have died and 2 have moved away.
An official revision of the Roll is not due until 2025, but anyone who wishes to be on the Roll is welcome to complete an application form, copies of which are available. Please ask me or Lorna Boyd – PCC Secretary - if you would like one. Gill Hazell
Churchwarden Report for the Church of St Augustine’s Clutton
Well I have to start with stating this last year has certainly been a year of two distinctly different halves, the Rector Mark Cregan’s retirement at the end of October and the start of a new era of interregnum. At that point meetings were arranged and church members were invited to participate and join the PCC. Rose agreed to Chair, thankfully, as her knowledge commitment and stamina is just amazing, a huge thank you Rose!
A special permission was gained from Bishop Dr Michael Beasley to co-opt a full PCC. Special thanks to everyone who took that opportunity to stand and have a voice in the running and taking forward of our church. A special mention also for our secretary and our administrator, Lorna and Gill, again a huge thank you for all your work and efforts, appreciated by all.
Lynda and I were sworn in as Church Wardens by Archdeacon Adrian and may I say what an honour and privilege it is to be given this role.
All services attendance is now getting to mid/ late twenties in numbers, brilliant! All visiting priests and readers are commenting on the vibrant church community, with comments like ‘just listen to that buzz and laughter’, priceless! Outreach in the form of welcoming tea or coffee before the service and now the monthly lunches with many non church members coming. I can categorically say our church is very much alive and going forward, albeit we’re in interregnum, with everyone helping and taking the Christian faith forward. So in conclusion, a huge thank you to one and all. With my very best wishes and prayers. Brian Bailey
Churchwarden Report – St. Barnabas
On the 30 November 2022, Brian Bailey and myself were inducted and made a declaration by the Archdeacon Adrian Youings as Churchwardens. We talk regularly with the Area Dean, Stephen McCaw.
With the impending uncertainty of the Rectory, repairs at St. Barnabas are on hold until the future of St. Barnabas is determined.
We continue to have a service on the 3[rd] Sunday of the month. However, much of our time is dominated by ensuring that the building is in a fit state to remain open. We have a regular user of the hall weekly and a monthly booking.
Despite our current problems, the Parish is still active. We keep everyone informed of Deanery Synod matters, we have an active Events committee along with a Building Group. We maintain a spirit akin to the last interregnum.
The 2023 terrier has been completed for St. Barnabas.
Thank you to everyone who works up front or behind the scenes doing all the many jobs that are needed to keep us going.
Lynda Hooper
St James Report
St James has had a lovely year with lots of visitors and the CCT have been very happy with the financial and social well being of the church. We managed all our services and the carol service was as usual great fun. The churchyard has been spectacular with lots of wild flowers and insects. Plus there have been some internments. We look forward to the coming year with all services covered by Preb Jan Knott and a new organist to swell the singing.

Safeguarding Report for Clutton with Cameley Churches AGM April 2023
Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. The Parish continues to follow the guidance set down in the Parish Safeguarding Handbook. Safeguarding training is undertaken every 3 years.
There have been no incidents or reports which have had to be investigated or referred on to appropriate people during the last year.
Lynda Hooper Safeguarding Officer
Events committee
We ran a very successful bottle tombola at the Clutton Fun Day in June 2022, followed by dinosaur crazy golf and glitter tattoos at the Clutton Flower Show. The Harvest buffet lunch was really well attended and we raised about £400, split between Water Aid, Temple Cloud food larder and Lizzie’s soup run in Bath. The Christmas Coffee morning was probably the busiest we have ever held and it was wonderful to see so many people packed into Clutton Village Hall for the carol service. We opened 2023 with a hugely successful Quiz Night and have been requested to run it again next year. Over the year we raised approx. £1500 for church funds. Our thanks go to everyone who helped, cooked donated and supported – especially our committee members (Jan Bailey, Wendy Sherborne, Iris Haydon, Helen Lundberg, Jo Buckle) plus Beryl and Pat who always come along and help. Rose Mays
200 club
The 200 club currently has a healthy 104 members and raises approximately £3,300 per year for church funds. Half of the funds raised are set aside to maintain our church buildings and churchyards, the other half goes towards paying the bills . Rose Mays
Building Committee
The building committee meets 6 times a year and tries to sort out minor repairs and maintenance without involving the whole PCC. Major issues are referred up to the PCC for approval or guidance. In the last year, we have logged 42 separate issues requiring attention, 29 of which we have resolved. We also deal with regular items of maintenance such as getting fire extinguishers serviced, portable appliance testing, gutter cleaning, lopping trees, applying for grants and faculties etc. If you see any items which give you cause for concern, especially from a H&S viewpoint, please let a committee member know. Thanks go to our committee members – Lynda Hooper, Brian Bailey, Roger Snary and Jake Jeffrey. If you would like to join the committee you would be very welcome. Rose Mays
Bell Ringing Report
It has taken a long time to get back to some normality following the covid lockdown. We still have a core of 4 Clutton and Stowey experienced ringers, however the additional help we get to make up numbers for practice nights aren't able to help for Sunday morning service at Clutton, as they have their own commitments. We are however able to ring for the Stowey evensong on the first Sunday of the month.
Luckily, we are very pleased to have 2 learner ringers, Al and Jon, who are progressing well and will very shortly be ready to commence Sunday morning ringing. In the meantime, we have been very fortunate to gain some very experienced help to undertake a full peal of the bells on the Sunday after the Coronation, (one of only a very few in the area), as part of the village celebrations.
The bells and fittings remain in good order, as is the flag, which is raised for all major church and national events.
Pete Rogers Tower Captain
Cameley VC Church of England Primary School Report
Cameley School staff and governors continue to work hard at providing an excellent education for its community. Numbers are increasing weekly, not least because of its outstanding reputation in welcoming and supporting children with a variety of needs. The school is rightly proud of this outward expression of its underpinning Christian values. Some Ukrainian pupils have also recently been welcomed into the school and are settling well. Cameley School is continuing to recover from the effects of the pandemic and subsequent and ongoing disruption. The staff are working hard in enabling the children to catch up on any missed learning and in supporting those whose mental health and progress has been adversely affected.
Following the standing down of Lynda Hooper, following 12 years as a Foundation Governor, who will be sadly missed for all her dedication and hard work, the newly appointed Foundation Governor, Jenny Short, attended her first Governor’s meeting just before Christmas. She has a wealth of experience in Primary School teaching, educational support and in providing training, so will be a valuable member of the team.
Angela Fraser has continued to support the school, especially in leading weekly Collective Worship sessions in the school hall and at least 6 services for the school and local families in St. Barnabas, and is much appreciated. Lynda Hooper is continuing to support her in these and they are much enjoyed by the children.
A team of PCC members continue to go into school on a regular basis to provide Open the Book (OTB) sessions for all the children which are enjoyed by all.
Thanks also need to be extended to Bishop Sutton Community Church, who have bought Bible Society booklets for all the children (approx. 160) at Christmas and at Easter. They also provided Christian based books on how to navigate moving to secondary school successfully for all the school leavers in the summer and continue to support our OTB work financially.
The school has very recently had an Ofsted Inspection and though the full written report will not be published until June, verbal feedback was very pleasing. I was particularly pleased to hear very positive comments about our SEND provision, supportive, caring environment and the children’s behaviour, with them talking to the Inspectors about the importance of respect and being kind to each other and linking these to the school’s Christian values without any prompting!
After 8 years, I will also be retiring from my Foundation Governor role at the end of the academic year. This has been a very difficult decision as I have enjoyed my time as a governor, but, for personal reasons, feel the time is right. I hope a replacement is quickly found and that that person finds it as rewarding it as I have! Needless to say, like Lynda, I will be continuing with the OTB team and will still be supporting the school in many other informal ways.
Lorna Boyd Foundation Governor
Chew Magna Deanery Synod Report of 2022 meetings for use at 2023 APCMs Meeting held on Tuesday 25[th] January 2022 via Zoom Lay Dean’s News
Helen confirmed that she would be standing down as Lay Dean at Easter.
Talk and Discussion was led by Charlie Peer (Head of Diocesan Mission and Support and Ministry Development) on Enabling Ministries
Enabling Ministries is a term used to encourage ministry within communities. Since Covid it had become clear that the church faces challenges and there is a need to think about what the church might look like in the future.
He talked about 3 areas which the Diocese is trying to encourage:
-
A Diversity of Lay Ministries The different ways in which people serve the church eg welcoming people to church, leading children’s activities or assisting with worship.
-
Focal Ministry
In a multi-parish benefice with a single priest, local leaders could provide local ministry eg Lay Worship Assistants could work alongside the clergy.
- Focal Ministry in the wider community Ministry in the community has seen an increase recently in chaplain and pioneer posts with people being called to work with people beyond the parish. He gave the example of working with an art group in a community which had the potential to develop into something further. Ministry is a vocation for both the ordained and the lay.
Deanery Support for Angela Fraser
After 18 years working as Schools Chaplain in the Chew Valley, Angela had been made redundant following the recent Diocesan restructuring exercise. Her line-manager had suggested that Angela could work on a self-employed basis for 2 days a week for the next two and a half years. One of those days to be funded by the Deanery.
A letter setting out the details of the proposal had been sent to all PCCs asking each benefice to consider the proposal.
Meeting held on 14[th] March 2022 on Zoom.
An additional meeting was held in March to appoint a new Lay Dean. Graham Sage was unanimously elected to the role of Lay Dean by the House of Laity.
On Wednesday 6[th] July - 20 members of synod (including guests) visited Wells cathedral. We were first welcomed to the cathedral and served tea and coffee in the café.
From there we went into the cathedral for Choral Evensong and sat in the quire for the service. The service was sung by a visiting choir from Ohio.
Following the service we divided into groups for our tour of the cathedral. The tour was very informative and interesting and enjoyed by all.
Meeting held on Monday 10[th] October at St Andrew’s, Blagdon Area Dean News
Stephen confirmed there were a number of retirements/vacancies in the Deanery: Simon Lewis left in August,
Daile Wilshere retired in September, Mark Cregan would be retiring in October and Mike Burke would be retiring in January 2023.
Angela Fraser (schools chaplain) and Mike Haslam (Diocesan Chaplaincy
Development Adviser)
Angela visits 7 schools in the deanery, usually visiting each of them once a month. She thanked synod for their generosity in supporting her work and gave examples of her recent work in the schools.
Mike Haslam told synod he was seeking volunteers who are interested in working with children to help with chaplaincy to work with small groups, mentoring or pastoral care in primary or secondary schools. Training would be provided.
Draft Deanery Plan for Clergy Deployment
The main part of the evening was devoted to discussion of the draft plan for clergy deployment, which had been put forward by the DMPG in September and copied to all. The plan had been devised following the Diocese’s proposal to reduce the number of stipendiary clergy posts from 178 to 150 (owing to financial constraints). The Chew Magna deanery has
been allocated 7 posts, a reduction of 2. There was a need to work together to achieve the best plan for the deanery.
Synod divided into 4 groups who were asked to consider: ‘What is the best way forward?’ And ‘What might be the best plan for the future in order to lose the required 2 posts?’ A number of themes came out of the discussions which included:
-
Cuts are detrimental to growth
-
Need to re-assess the best centres for mission in the future eg re-enhancing the
-
position of Bishop Sutton
-
There is a need for more readers in the deanery
-
A desire to look at the flexibility of church buildings for other uses
-
Leadership is a key to success
-
Opportunities for parishes to find different groupings to work together
-
Opportunities to partner with other churches within parishes
-
Need to encourage lay leaders
-
An overarching need for mission.
Stephen confirmed that the DMPG would draw up a revised plan based on the themes which were of most importance to us eg mission and leadership. The revised plan would be discussed at the January 2023 synod meeting when it was hoped a decision on the way forward would be made.

Treasurer’s Report to the Annual Paris Meeting of Clutton with Cameley
Unrestricted Income and Expenditure
I am delighted to report that for the second year running we have achieved a surplus of income over expenditure – this year of £1885. This was aided by two exceptional items – firstly a grant from the Diocese of £400 towards the increased costs of heating and lighting our Church buildings and secondly by re-designating an old St Augustine’s bank deposit account with a £862 balance from restricted to unrestricted, there being no trust involved to warrant a restricted treatment.
Our unrestricted giving dropped about 3% at £11,425 but associated Gift Aid tax relief covered that with an increase of £360.
The income from wedding and funeral related fees is an important part of our finances, grossing £7,484 this year and netting £5,681 after the Diocesan cut, an increase of £200.
On the expenditure side our Parish Share/Quota was held at the 2021 level of £18,548, our Clergy Costs were increased because we employed guest retired clergy and Readers from 1[st] November who are entitled to a fee and travel expenses. These are recoverable from the Diocese in due course.
The surplus of £1,885 has brought our year end ‘free’ cash to £4,905.
Restricted income and Expenditure.
We continue to benefit from the 200 Club and covenants – see Page 2 of the accounts. After prizes, the Church retained £3,796 which goes towards building and graveyard maintenance and contributes to insurance costs.
A full analysis if Restricted Income and Expenditure will be found on page 3.
We are very grateful for the continued support of Temple Cloud & Cameley Parish Council who contribute to the costs of grass cutting at St James Church, Cameley.
The grass cutting costs at St Augustine’s was £600 below budget due to a) slow growing grass when the weather was warmer and b) a miscalculation by the grass cutters!
All in all a very satisfactory year financially. My thanks to Phil Lewis, our Accounts Reviewer and Lynda Smart who oversees the Pink Envelope Scheme.
Roger Snary. PCC Treasurer. 13[th] May 2023.

Report to the trustees of Clutton with Cameley Parochial Church Council on accounts for the year ended 31st December 2022, charity number 1135065 set out on pages 1 - 3.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to :
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair' view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention;
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements;
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Chaities Act;
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting
requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to . examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of independent examiner's ststement My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters The procedures undertaken do not provide all the eviden that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fairf view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. Independent examiner's ststement In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention; (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements; to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Chaities Act- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
