4. Chair's remarks
The Chair srated that because of the shortfall in Diocesan Share payments across the benefice. the
number of stipersdiary clergy in the benefice is being reduced: Revd Dr Graham Southgate wi51 not be
replaced. It is proposed thac the benefice be split into cwo smaller benefices, each to have its own
Rector. This should make recruitment wier in the fuwro Currently PCCS are discussing where
the boundary between the proposed new benefices should fail. A map has been produced by the
diocese for our considerntiorn but numbers each side of the split shown are very unevon. with 3
much greater tofal population in the we5L A key consideration is whether Chilmark, a falrly large
par15h. should be In rhe western or eastern beneficÉ Once all the PCCS have submitted their views.
there will be further dlscussion by the Nadder Valley Team Council.
5. Electoral Roll

Anthony ￿Ve15-wOod presented the Inventory. Since last ye2r. one microphone stand has gone
missing. The stone sarcophagu5 in the north porch has never been Included in the inventory. The

8. Financial Statements for the period ended 31 December 2023
The Treasurer spoke 2bout the accounts included in the pack 2nd approved by the PCC ac IES last
meeting. She clarified the purposes of the various funds (Restricted, Desisnated 2nd GenErnI). The
Genera5 Fund showed a surplus at the end of the year. A queKion wa5 asked about the annual

shortfall In Diocesan Share payments. currently over £30.OOOpa. Concern was expressed. It was
suggested that all on the EleC￿ra7 Roll be contacted. and thai Paul Naish be invited to speak about
the Parish Giving Scheme already used by some regular givers. SDP suggested that we think beyond
the boundaries of church members - perhaps puc a full page In Focus about looklng after thls
treasure of the communlty. The Chair stated that if all on the Electoral Roll gave approx. £800pa,
this would cover our ourgoings. QE felt that this should be spelled OUL CB felt cautious about
stating a figure", people give to other charities, especially since the church has reduced its own
charitable giving as income dropped It was felt that an appeal for support should come from
Churchwarden5 rather than the Parish PriesL
It was felt that the Share request is huge, frdr in excess of what we can rnlse- this needs to change.
The national impre55ion thac the Church is wealthy does not help us in raising awareness locally of
the need for finanaal supporL
