ANNUAL PAROCHIAL CHURCH MEETING - MINUTES

All Saints’ Church, Sunday 3 April 2022 at approximately 11.10 hrs.

1. Apologies:

2. These were the same as for the meeting to elect Churchwardens seen above.

3. Presentation and acceptance of the minutes of the last APCM, held on 25 April 2021: The minutes of the last APCM were accepted.

4. Matters arising from the minutes of the last APCM: Maureen Pring drew attention to her comments in the AOB section of the last APCM minutes, where she had highlighted the need to replace the external noticeboard, and the fact that despite a generous donation to fund its replacement, nothing had yet been done.

5. Father Neil assured Maureen that the change of notice board was imminent, and that the generous donation would indeed be used for that purpose.

6. Maureen went on to add that she had, again in the AOB of the minutes of the last APCM, asked for consideration of reinstatement of the 8am Eucharist on a Sunday morning. Father Neil said that the matter had been discussed at PCC, whose responsibility it was to decide on the timings of services, but that there had been little support for the move. Moreover, he personally would not welcome an 8am service followed hard by the 0930 Eucharist.

7. A swift straw poll of those attending the 2022 APCM showed that only two people present would consider going to 8am Eucharist services. The subject would nevertheless be brought before the new PCC for consideration.

Meanwhile, Father Neil added, the Thursday morning 10 am Eucharist had grown to having over 20 people in the congregation.

1. Elections to the PCC – Policy: Father Neil asked the meeting to consider adopting a policy towards PCC elections as follows:

2. 3 representatives of the laity to serve on the PCC for 3 years (thus ensuring a majority for continuity but also a regular turnover of members)

3. Such additional lay members of the PCC as may be required to fill casual vacancies.

4. 3 lay representatives to the Churches Together in Stamford Forum.

5. Father Neil added that employed members of the parish could go on the Electoral Roll.

6. The policy was proposed by Catherine Hammant and seconded by David Wallington.

The APCM meeting voted to adopt this policy.

There were three lay representative places for the Churches Together in Stamford Forum; only Kate Riley volunteered.

Of the laity members of the PCC, 3 were to step down, Elizabeth McIver, Martin Fisher and Len Marshall.

Of these Len Marshall was prepared to stand again.

Nominees for the laity places were: Len Marshall (proposed by Pamela Dixon and seconded by Linda Biddle); John Sutcliffe (proposed by Clare Camp and seconded by Len Marshall); Jeremy Hammant (proposed by Jan Marshall and seconded by Catherine Hammant) and Jo Wilson (proposed by Clare Camp and seconded by Paul Middleton).

All nominees were duly elected.

1. Appointment of Deputy Churchwardens:

2. Harriet Barlow and Katrina Mitchell both volunteered to act as Deputy Church wardens and were duly appointed.

3. Presentation of the PCC accounts and appointment of an Independent Examiner:

4. The PCC accounts were presented and a short report by Jo Wilson (paraphrasing her full report available in the Annual Report) was read out by Father Neil.

Chris Tily raised the question as to why the Religious Education Fund, which had featured in the PCC accounts some years previously, had been omitted. Father Neil advised him that the Religious Education Fund was no part of the PCC accounts and was a separate fund altogether. Alan Blakemore drew attention to his concern that a new curate would require an increase in All Saints’ parish share.

Father Neil assured the meeting that the cost of curates was met centrally by Diocese and whilst some element of the parish share might well go towards these costs, the addition of a curate would not directly affect the parish share of All Saints’ church.

Paul Middleton proposed that the Independent Examiner appointed should be Simon Marshall, as for the last year; this was seconded by John Sutcliffe and approved by the meeting.

1. The Electoral Roll report was as per the Annual Report.

2. The Rector’s Summary – Unity Centre/Resourcing Sustainable Churches/Vision for All Saints’.:

3. Father Neil paraphrased his report for the Annual Report and then addressed the subject of the Unity Centre, and in particular the loss of Becky Goff from the management of the Unity Centre. Father Neil paid tribute to the enormous amount of work and time which Becky had given to the Unity Centre, taking it from a little used liability to a very popular self-sustaining facility. In appreciation of the tremendous commitment shown by Becky, he presented her with two small gifts. The meeting showed their appreciation and thanks in the usual way.

4. Father Neil described the scheme being employed by Diocese to classify churches and congregations on a table of Resourcing Sustainable Churches, scaling each church from 1-5. All Saints’ had been labeled by the PCC Class 1, which means it pays its full share and could possibly be able to assist other parishes. Alongside RSC classification, there will be Local Mission Partnerships, whereby a church could pool resources with other churches of a similar worship, and work together. Uffington Group are linked with All Saints’, already sharing Evening prayer on Wednesdays and with the potential to share available priests.

5. Vision: Father Neil outlined the Vision for All Saints’ which he had developed from the PCC away day last year. In particular Father Neil sees the church growing and changing, setting up sub-committees and task groups, breaking down areas of responsibility in order to share the workloads, and then reporting back to the PCC. These smaller working groups could include other members of the congregation, albeit they could not vote on the PCC but could bring areas of expertise to assist sub-committees. An example was for the Director of Music and the Rector to enhance the church music potential by developing a junior choir and by offering music scholarships.

In describing the need to share the workload of different diverse areas within the scope of the PCC, Father Neil paid tribute to the great amount of work, and detail covered by Churchwarden David Wallington who had the responsibility for Fabric. In a similar vein Finance can only be covered by a select few.

1. The date of the next APCM was set as Sunday 16 April 2023.

12. The meeting closed with the Grace.
