Revd. Alex also encouraged those present who were not members, to think about standing as Church Warden or joining the PCC.

2. Statutory Reports:

Safeguarding Report : Page 6, Barbara Burrows pointed out that the following sentence should have been inserted at the beginning of the Report:

‘ Sec 5 of the Safeguarding + Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 states: all authorised clergy, bishops, archdeacons, licensed readers and lay workers, churchwardens and PCCs must have 'due regard' to safeguarding guidance issued by the House of Bishops.’

There were no further questions or comments.

Revd. Alex thanked all who were involved in the work of our Churches.

Thanks were given to Amanda Old who is stepping down as one of our representatives on Churches together in Retford.

Our Treasurer, Rachel Reeves was thanked for her work in registering the PCC as a charity. This can be accessed through the Charity Commission website.

Our name is ‘The PCC of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Ordsall and Retford, St Michael.’

Our charity number is: 1198455

Revd. Alex pointed out that this will be particularly helpful in obtaining grants for our Parish.

Revd. Alex has now been with us for four weeks, and thanked everyone for their welcome.

Thanks were given to John Catling for playing the organ so splendidly at today’s service.

Keith Robinson has been All Hallows Planned Giving Secretary since 2007! He is now in the process of handing over this important work to Malcolm McDonald. Keith was thanked for all the work that he has done for us over so many years.

The coffee morning at St Michael’s will be extended to provide a Place of Welcome at the Church. This is most likely to take place on a Tuesday. Revd. Liz Thomas did point out that Tuesday was the emptiest day in Retford.

Revd. Alex would like to approach those people who used to attend All Hallows for the 8 o’clock Sunday Service. If enough people are interested he would like to offer a monthly service.

��

Revd. Alex suggested a 9.30 am service for St Michael’s followed by an 11.00 am service at All Hallows - 9.00 am might be too difficult for the Bell ringers!

Appointment of Auditors:

Wright Vigar are willing to continue as auditors.

Proposed : Rachel Reeves Seconded : Ben Chapman-Hart Unanimous

Revd. Alex suggested that a Financial Management Committee would be useful to help with our finances.

Question re Audited Accounts: Shirley Thomas said that when applying for grants it is often necessary to see the Audited Accounts - this will be discussed at the next PCC meeting

Suggested date for next Annual Parochial Church Meeting:

Sunday 2nd April - Palm Sunday 2023

Revd. Alex thanked everyone for coming to the meeting

The meeting finished with the Grace.

1) Statutory Reports

Safeguarding:

As I was only officially appointed as the Parish Safeguarding Officer by the PCC at its meeting on 15[th] March 2023 this is a brief report of work to date.

At the request of Alex, I have revised the four existing Parish Safeguard Policy documents into one document for the whole Parish which is hopefully more readable, understandable and useful to anybody entering the Churches. We have also created a single training record point held by me for copies of all Safeguarding Training Certificates coupled to a spreadsheet which will enable us to identify and if needed remind people when training is required.

Finally, we have agreed a work programme for the coming year with a priority being given to the revision/completion of Safeguarding risk assessments for the various Parish groups and activities.

Electoral Roll

At the point at which the Roll closed on Sunday 7[th] May, the total number of names enrolled was 113. This total reflects an increase of 11 since our last APCM, due to additional names enrolled during the past year.

- OWR Churches Financial Review 2022

Opening remarks

2022 proved to be a watershed year. We started in January knowing that Alex was to be installed in March, and in September, we sadly lost Her Majesty the Queen after a lifetime of dedicated service to her subjects. Also in September, it was sad to lose the services of our Parish Treasurer, Rachel Reeves, who announced that due to personal circumstances, she felt it necessary to step away from the post.

As always, church life continues despite such setbacks, and a set of accounts was produced notwithstanding. At the time of writing these are being examined by our auditors.

Income

Planned Giving - Funding campaigns were held at both churches in the Autumn, with a number of new givers being identified at each. The campaigns were run in collaboration with Tony Brown, Diocesan Giving Advisor, who advised us on how these might be orchestrated. The resulting increase in pledged giving was significant, though did not match the targeted figure overall. The full impact of this increase will not be realised until the end of 2023, as not all of the pledges were actioned by the end of 2022. Full use was made of the Gift Aid Recovery scheme, and all claims had been submitted by the end of the year. These totalled £11,382, an increase of around £2,261 (24.8%) on the same total for 2021.

Casual giving - The further relaxation of the COVID pandemic saw a significant increase in visitors to both churches, resulting in more donations, and plate collections. Online card readers were purchased for both churches, providing yet another avenue for generating income. All of which enabled a top-up to be obtained via the GASDS scheme.

The total planned and casual giving amounted to £57,435, an increase of £6,869 (13.58%) from 2021.

Grants - New Start grants were secured, allowing us to employ 3 temporary workers in the Autumn. Monies were also obtained from the Diocese and elsewhere, enabling both churches to offer a "Warm Place" each week during the Winter to all who would come to appreciate this initiative! As can be seen from the accounts, more than £23.5K was put to good use, and thanks go to all our benefactors.

St Michaels was the recipient of a £10K legacy, and it was decided that this should be used towards the future development of the church.

��

Fund raising - Live & Local & the annual Scarecrow Festival continue to be the bedrock of the Parish Hall income at Ordsall, whilst St Michaels hosts a successful Cheese & Wine evening each summer. Various "fayres" take place at both churches, and pleasing donations are received from refreshments served at each, all of which resulted in around £3.7K over the year.

Other income - Post pandemic, usage of Ordsall's Parish Hall & the Chapter House at St Michaels saw a return of several users, generating just under £3.7K across both churches. Weddings & funerals were much in evidence, resulting in nearly £9K in PCC fees. The cottages owned by Ordsall remained fully tenanted, and the rents were increased early in 2023 to reflect the rise in inflation.

Total income - Overall, 2022 resulted in an increase of £35,611 (35.6%)

Expenditure

Parish share - It became clear in the first half of the year, that the requested target for both churches would be sadly unachievable. As a result, it was decided that payments between September and December should be suspended, and Alex met with the Diocese to explain our circumstances.

At the start of 2023, the Standing Committee discussed a series of remedial proposals, all of which were subsequently approved by the PCC. These proposals are designed to ensure greater financial stability, and although the 2023 target is still likely to be unachievable, an agreed monthly figure should be sustainable, and result in a greater contribution as a whole. An ad-hoc payment of £2K was also paid to the Diocese in January 2023, as a goodwill gesture in this regard.

Utilities - Whilst various grants towards fuel costs came from both the Diocese and Government, the expected rises began to bite home in October. As a consequence, Gas & Electricity totalled £6,885, roughly £1,000 more than 2021.

Alex negotiated new contracts for both the church and hall, hopefully minimising the overall cost as we move into 2023 and beyond. St Michaels are still under exiting fixed contracts, so a further hit may be expected once these have to be re-negotiated in the future.

Insurance - Alex again attempted to reduce our overall costs, by negotiating new contracts with Trinitas, moving away from a long-standing arrangement with Ecclesiastical.

Repairs and maintenance - Major works were required on Ordsall's cottages, and the lightning conductor proved to be a source of frustration. The latter was eventually resolved by employing a different contractor, who has since undertaken similar work at St Michaels in early Spring 2023. With the exception of these 2 setbacks, all other minor repairs were within expected boundaries.

��

Exceptional expenditure - A new sound systems is now in evidence at St Michael’s, the value of which has been added to our Asset Register, and will be depreciated to an approved schedule. Similarly, media equipment and furnishings to provide suitable children friendly areas have been purchased, and it is gratifying that much of this expenditure has been funded by a variety of grants.

Total expenditure - Stripping out the effect of Parish Share, a total of £74,470 saw an increase of £9,613 (14.82%) on the 2021 total of £64,857.

Restricted funds & Endowments -

Development funds - have been implemented at both churches, the proceeds of which will be utilised to fund specific projects at each. It is not anticipated that these monies will be used for general purposes.

Ordsall Cottages - whilst these provide a significant amount of rental income, it is recognised that this will be accompanied by periodic maintenance, As such, it has been decided that 10% of the monthly income should be set aside to offset this expenditure.

Deacon fund - this St Michaels fund is managed by David Bean, and is to be utilised at his discretion. In April 2023, this total has been transferred to form a new Charity fund, which in turn will allow support to be given to local needy causes.

St Michaels Organ fund - this was set up by the late Michael Cowgill, and is to allow regular tuning and future remedial work when appropriate.

Miss Flowers - this Ordsall fund represents an Endowment, from which All Hallows has been able to use the interest on the Capital investment. The restriction on this fund will expire in January 2024, after which the church will be able to gain access to the capital value, at the same time recognising the goodwill received from the Flowers family. The PCC will discuss how these monies should be best used.

In conclusion

Like most churches, financial matters continue to provide a significant challenge to Ordsall & St Michaels. As outlined above, it was disappointing not to be able to pay our Parish Share in full, and we also recognise that Ordsall's Parish Hall is currently running at a loss. A Parish Hall management committee has been formed to facilitate tighter control over its finances, and hopefully move towards it becoming an eventual profitable enterprise.

���

Since I received the Treasurer's baton last September, it is fair to say that a number of unexpected situations have arisen, each presenting a fresh challenge! That said, my belief is that we are reaching a position where matters should be running more smoothly, with income being optimised, and costs receiving a tighter control.

I would not be able to carry out my duties without a great deal of support, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who assists me in that regard.

Alex has been particularly supportive, and I would also like to extend my thanks to key individuals - Russell Bloodworth, Amanda Old, Malcolm McDonald, Richard & Julia Morton. Thank you all for your patience!

I look forward to my future involvement with both churches, and trust that future services and events provide a platform for ensuring the long-term financial stability.

Martin Bloomfield, Parish Treasurer

PCC’s Secretary’s Report

The Parochial Church Council concerns itself with all aspects of the life of the churches in All Hallows Ordsall and Retford, St Michael's Parish.

PCC meetings are open to all. At the discretion of the chair anyone may contribute (and is welcome to do so), though only members may vote. Meetings encourage discussion and involvement from all members.

The main issue dominating our year was our financial situation. The cost of living for churches is no different from that in the real world. Essential repairs have to be done, heating and lighting and more have to be paid for. The Financial team of Reverend Alex, Rachel Reeves, Martin Bloomfield and Russell Bloodworth was set up to help deal with these problems. It has also helped to free up space in our PCC meetings. It is hoped that the Hall and Properties Management Committee will also help to streamline PCC procedures

In our January meeting Revd. Alex suggested that St. Michaels and All Hallows PCC members could meet separately on occasion. Members of the church communities would be encouraged to join these meetings and might even be persuaded to join the PCC! Every other month we would meet as a Full PCC. These Working Groups met in February and April 2023 and so far, the results have been very encouraging.

In June 2022 we had a Parish Away Day at the Idle Valley Nature Reserve to consider our Parish Vision. This was a thought provoking and successful meeting. Our next Parish Away Day will take place on 3rd June 2023

���

Both Carole Robinson and Ben Chapman-Hart have had to resign from the PCC this year. ������������������������������������������������������������������������Rachel Reeves our Treasurer has also resigned. We thank her for all the hard work she put into this very time consuming and demanding job. We are also indebted to Martin Bloomfield for taking over this position.

I would like to express my thanks to Reverend Alex Shiells for his excellent chairing of the PCC meetings throughout the year.

As always, we welcome new members to the PCC and hope that some of you will consider joining us.

Alison Thorpe PCC Secretary

Deanery Synod

Shirley, Ivy and myself have attended Deanery Synod meetings on behalf of the parish throughout the current three-year triennium period which is now drawing to a close. In the final year of the current triennium Synod has considered the allocation of Parish Share, ongoing clergy wellbeing, Living in Love & Faith, Eco Church initiatives, and Church schools etc.

The new Synod will be formed from those members elected in this spring’s round of APCMs and first order of business will be to elect a Lay vice chair and treasurer to assist the Area Dean in the important work of the Deanery.

I would like to thank Ivy & Shirley for their diligence and commitment throughout the last three years.

Isabelle Richards – Parish Representative and outgoing Lay Chair of the Deanery Synod.

Fabric – All Hallows

Building issues are ongoing and huge thanks to Peter Thomas for his considerable and invaluable help.

The repointing of external stonework is being done as this report is being written. The lightning conductor issue has received considerable attention with large expense with thanks to Rev. Alex for his great input. Rules and regulations for this seem to change regularly but it appears we are relatively fine at the moment.

���

The good news is that the Lych Gates have finally been replaced with considerable input and help from the aforementioned Peter.

Michael Storey – Church Warden

Fabric Report - St Michaels

We have had no major projects this year.

The lightning conductor has been inspected and work has been completed to bring it up to the required standard.

We have completed all necessary servicing, to the heating boilers, in the Church and Community Hall (Chapter House) it is necessary to do some minor repair work to the boiler outlets.

The fire extinguishers have been serviced, both internal and external intruder alarms have been serviced.

We still have an ongoing problem with the Chapter House roof leaking.

The Quinquennial inspection is due to be carried out in 2023.

Thank you to the dedicated team who continue to help clean and maintain the church and for Ivy who continues to clean the chapter house.

Pat Bloodworth

Vicar's Report:

'I thank my God every time I remember you. In every prayer for all of you, I always pray with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.' Paul's Letter to the Philippians Chapter 1, verses 1-3

As I write this report I'm reflecting on a momentous year, full of encouragement and joy. When I wrote my first vicar's report last year, I had been here for a matter of weeks and we were just starting out in our ministry together. Since then, much has changed and I'm so thankful for the welcome that Catherine and I have received, and for all the ways that we've seen God at work over this past year. I want to thank

���

everyone who has supported our parish, attended services and events, volunteered, given financially and prayed for our churches. This report could be entirely made up of the names of everyone that deserves our grateful thanks.

There have also been moments of sadness over the past year. It was just a year ago that we lost our good friend and organist John Catling, and later in the year Rev'd Bob Smith. These are just two members of our congregations who have gone before us and who we now remember in love. I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge their service that has sustained our ministry over the past few years, and their families for their continued support. In 2022 we also experienced the sad loss of the late Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and we were able to take our place in helping our nation to mourn. Now with the coronation of King Charles III having taken place earlier this month, we find ourselves in a new era.

It has also been a new era for us as a parish. Last year we were still emerging from the pandemic, returning to regular services and discovering a new normal in our life together. Starting on Easter Day in 2022 we were able to return to weekly services in each church on Sundays as well continuing the midweek services. We started a new coffee morning at St Michael's, established craft groups in each church and met together at various times in the year for courses and bible study groups. During this time, we've been learning what it means for us to be one parish in unity and diversity, developing distinctly as two churches while growing together around one common vision for our communities.

As a PCC and congregations, we discerned and developed a parish vision statement: to serve as One Church in Ordsall and West Retford, offering love and welcome for all. Shaped by our values of gathering at the table, being inclusive, loving our local area, living an everyday faith and going out as people of peace, we're

���

growing together. We've experimented with new styles of worship, started a new All Age service at All Hallows', invested in our buildings and have seen new people joining our churches and getting involved. This is but a short summary of the many ways we've been able to gather together and reach out beyond our walls.

At the heart of all that we do is worship and growing in the knowledge and love of God. In May 2023 we've had confirmation services for three young people, and we're starting an Alpha Course in June. My greatest prayer for the next year is that many people in Ordsall, West Retford and beyond will have the opportunity to hear about the transforming love of God. I'm excited by all that has been happening, some of the details of which you'll read more about in our other reports. God is at work among us and this is only the beginning of the work there is for us to do. Please continue to pray that we will be able to discern and follow the call of God, and that new members will continue to join us.

Rev'd Alex Shiells

2) Property belonging to Ordsall & Retford, St Michael’s Parish

Ordsall Parish Hall:

Regular Hall bookings are still quite sparse, new enquiries don't seem to be forthcoming, talking to other halls the opinion is that the cost-of-living crisis has badly affected people spending money on leisure and entertainment against food and heating.

Children's Party bookings are steady and the new hourly rate increase to £15 which is in line with surrounding halls has now been accepted. We do have an additional regular Friday booking of Diddy Explorers which is proving very popular, our loyal groups, Brownies, Rainbows, keep Fit and Tai Chi continue.

���

Plans are in hand for the blinds to be repaired and quotes for revarnishing the floor are being sought, both of which would greatly improve the appearance of the hall. Thank you again Peter and Shirley Thomas for your help and support over the last year.

Deb Aston (booking secretary)

Chapter House:

There is little to report on behalf of bookings for St Michaels Community Room. There are only two regular users; Retford Civic Society who hold a monthly meeting, and Ginny Landoni who runs a successful weekly exercise class.

In spite of the recently installed disability ramp, parking remains a deterrent.

There has been no increase in rental charges for many years, but the Civic Society pays a little extra every month.

One suggestion is that maybe using Facebook could create more interest. Again, many thanks to Ivy for keeping the space clean. Prue Lamb

Croft Cottage

After extensive investigation the decision was taken to strengthen the roof with steel beams due to bowing out of the side and rear wall. This was carried out in September 2022 with the supervision of a Structural Engineer. A slipped hip tile was replaced at the same time. The tenants signed an undertaking that the back garden would be returned to its state at the start of their tenancy. The annual gas service was carried out in November 2022. The faulty shower was replaced with a new one in January 2023. The rent was increased from the end of January2023.

���

Glebe Cottage

As with its neighbouring cottage there is bowing out of the side wall which has been investigated. However, there are no significant internal cracks and rather than carry out roof strengthening tell tales were fitted to the side wall at eaves level in December 2022 to monitor any movement. These will need an annual inspection. There were repairs to the toilet cistern in October. The annual gas service was carried out in November 2022. The rent was increased from January 2023.

Grange Road

The tenant at the start of 2022 gave notice and vacated in March. Extensive redecoration and repairs to storm damaged fencing were carried out prior to a new tenant moving in May 2022. The annual gas service was carried out in December 2022 and a carbon monoxide monitor fitted.

Peter Thomas Property Manager

Allotment Report

The allotments were established on the vacant piece of land next to the church in 2008 and have flourished since. After Covid 19 Lockdown the interest in allotments increased and following a year when several plots were vacant 14 allotments became let in 2022 with a further two pieces made into allotment plots at the start of 2023. Currently 16 plots are let. An annual social gathering has been held and an annual work day when many of the plot holders have worked together to improve composting facilities. Water is stored in a large carboy which is kept filled from the outside tap on the Vestry by Martin Kennedy. The plots produce an additional income for the church. Peter Thomas

3) Church Activities through the year

Health & Safety – All Hallows:

It is pleasing to report no major accidents to report in the last year, however we should not become complacent so please take not only in church but also in the churchyard and the church hall. Please remember that we are not only responsible for our own safety but the safety of other people's safety around us. All of our statutory checks for the church and the church hall are up to date,

The PAT testing is out of date but I have spoken to Michael about it and hopefully it will be sorted in the near future,

Nothing to else to add just big thank you to everyone who has helped me with health and safety issues this year, I couldn't do it without you all, thank you. John Pashley

Health and Safety St Michaels

There were no Health and Safety issues, apart from discussion around how we get back to normal running of services after Covid, we had discussions about using the common cup for communion.

We are in need of a Health and Safety officer for St Michaels, although we have had the offer from someone to carry out Risk assessment, the current ones are out of date and overdue.

We have updated the signage for use of the accessible entrance as the steps at the front of church are quite difficult to use, and have erected a barrier at the end of the external ramp.

Pat Bloodworth

Craft Circle

We started Craft Circle as a new group in both of our churches as a place where anyone can come and bring their craft projects to work on together. It takes place between 2pm and 4pm every Tuesday in St Michael's Community Hall, and every

���

Wednesday in All Hallows' Church. We usually have a handful of people each week, ranging anywhere between 2 or 3 some weeks and as many as 11 or 12 other times. It has been appreciated by those who have come along, including some who are members of the local community otherwise not connected to church. Over the winter, Craft Circle has been part of our Warm Spaces initiative and we were sometimes able to welcome people who had come to be warm, as well as those who have made donations of craft supplies. We were especially grateful to receive a grant of £200 from Councillor Carolyn Troop, which has been used in part to buy some new lights and equipment. There are a range of crafts that are done each week, including knitting, crochet, card making, mending, lace-making, spinning wool, mindful colouring, quilting, flower arranging, embroidery, or even just coming for a cup of tea and a chat! We were also able aid the hospice in sewing together knitted squares into blankets.

Going forward, we hope to keep meeting each week in both churches and would like to spread the word so that more people can join us. It is open to anyone regardless of their ability or experience level, and even to those who would just like to come and have a chat! I would welcome anyone to come and join us, or to invite someone who might appreciate the conversation and time to work on a craft project. Catherine Shiells

Bell Ringers:

A small but dedicated team of ringers continues to ring the bells of All Hallows & St Michael’s churches for Sunday morning worship and other occasions. In the past 12 months we have rung for joyous occasions such as the late Queen’s Platinum jubilee, the ascension and coronation of King Charles III and for weddings. We have also tolled to mark the passing of the late Queen.

���

We know from many comments from the wider community just how much the sound of the bells means to people. We support other towers as and when we can, and are supported by them in our turn. There are more bells across the area than there are bellringers so we are always keen to welcome newcomers.

The team meet to practice most weeks at 7pm on Monday evenings in the tower of All Hallows and welcomes anyone who wishes to try their hand at learning a new skill or return to a pastime from previous years.

Paul Richards Tower Captain

“Places of Welcome” Coffee Mornings - All Hallows

Weekly Wednesday mornings continue to see All Hallows open to welcome members of the wider community (plus their children and dogs) for free refreshments. Boardgames, books and local information leaflets are always available, plus occasional plants, vegetables and cakes for sale. On the first Wednesday of each month Bassetlaw Connect attend with their free advice clinic to support access to a range of services. Numbers of attendees varies from week to week, but sometimes exceeds the numbers of chairs available. Many folk drop in throughout each session, some staying for a quick cuppa while others stay for a longer meet-up with friends.

During the heating crisis we extended our opening hours through the lunchtime period until 2pm when Craft Circle took over until 4pm. A simple lunch of hot soup & roll was freely available for anyone from 11am onwards and although take up was low, these lunches were greatly appreciated by those who partook.

District & County Councillors have made use of the weekly opening to meet with Constituents and in September we again hosted a charity coffee morning in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support. Some regular attendees have now volunteered to join the refreshment rota and others have joined in with supporting seasonal preparations such as wrapping Santas gifts and decorating the church Christmas tree. Training

���

opportunities offered by Transforming Notts Together (the Notts Places of Welcome co-ordinators) have been circulated amongst the volunteers and we continue to develop our Wednesday morning Places of Welcome as something that both serves the local community and which offers an ‘easy way’ into greater involvement with church.

We wish to thank everyone who continues to support these Wednesday coffee mornings through their volunteering, especially Rita who puts together the rota and Julia who keeps us supplied with biscuits & teabags!

Helen Richards & Tessa Rolph – PoW Coordinators

St Michael's Places of Welcome

We have been open every Tuesday from 10.00am , offering a Warm Place, free drink and biscuits, with soup and rolls from 12.noon until 2.00pm.

We have a small group of regular volunteers and a small but grateful number of visitors, some of them church members, but also others looking for a welcome and refreshment. During the colder months we had a rack of free coats. We received many donations and were able to help quite a few find what was needed.

It has been interesting to be involved and although we have not been overwhelmed with customers, I think that it is a worthwhile venture for our church to continue. Janet Lewis

After Service Refreshments - All Hallows

Following the relaxation of Covid restrictions, the service of refreshments on Wednesday and Sundays resumed in May 2021. We would like to thank everyone who volunteers for the rotas on both days and in particular Rita Donohue for organising the Wednesday rota. Without these volunteers we would not be able to offer this service which we hope is seen as part of the welcome offered by the Church. In addition, the generosity of parishioners who make donations towards the cost of refreshments has enabled us to bank £580:00 in the Church’s account during

���

the last tax year. We are grateful to the Treasurer for his help in claiming Gift Aid on this amount.

We would welcome any volunteers to help on the rota to ensure the service of refreshments is continued.

Mothers Union and Retford Child Contact Centre (a Mothers Union project)

The Mothers Union branch at All Hallows hasn’t met since before Covid but we are hoping to restart meetings very soon.

However, Retford Child Contact Centre (a Mothers Union project) was back up and running from about a year ago. When parents separate, it can happen that children lose contact completely with one of their parents. Contact Centres were set up as a result to be places where children can meet with a parent (or sibling or grandparent) they no longer live with, where it is safe to do so.

The Contact Centre in Retford was set up by the local Mothers Union in the late 1990s and has run successfully since that time. Its past Coordinators have included Pauline Partridge and Barbara Burrows and other church members have been and still are heavily involved. The service is free for families to use on Saturday afternoons on a fortnightly basis. We are delighted to report that the Contact Centre currently has a full complement of 3 families. Four children are now able to meet with a parent that they might otherwise have lost contact with - it is a joy to see them playing together with their parent and getting to know them again.

The Centre had to close down during Covid for a prolonged period, initially due to Covid itself but the owners of the building then decided to do some renovation work, which took a lot longer than they anticipated. Eventually when the Centre could reopen in the premises, we found many volunteers were unable to return for various reasons and in September 2021 we had a major recruitment campaign. This was very successful and, after the necessary checks and training, we officially re-opened in February 2022.

The Contact Centre is now extremely lucky to have the use of the recently restyled “Family Hub” building in central Retford from January 2023. This is only one minute from the main shopping street and is ideal for children with its outdoor space.

It has been quite an upheaval for us all since 2020 with two changes of premises and a raft of new volunteers but things are beginning to settle down again.

���

The Centre is always looking for more volunteers to ease the burden , not only on the Saturday rota (with a duty roughly every 2 months) but also for various standalone administration tasks, eg drawing up the rota, or as a Committee member. The duties are not onerous but they are necessary for the efficient running of the Centre! And it is so worth it when you see children meet a parent again who they may not have seen for some months, or sometimes years. Volunteers do not need to be MU or church members and both male and female volunteers are welcome.

Should you live in the Worksop/Retford/surrounding areas and might be interested, please contact me, Tessa Rolph, on 01777 472461 or email retfordccc@gmail.com . We can also arrange a visit to the Centre so that you can see it in action.

Merry Ladies Annual :

The Merry Ladies continue to meet every Wednesday morning at 10am at The Glasshouse.

Our numbers have increased slightly which is encouraging but we always welcome more ladies to join us.

Recipes are exchanged but political discussion are always discouraged.

Ordsall Churchyard Group

Four volunteers worked on the maintenance of the top churchyard once a week throughout the year. A couple of other volunteers appeared when they were available. The successful application for grants enabled the purchase of a Stihl strimmer and a wood chipper. A NewStart Scheme enabled us to have two part time paid workers for 13 weeks which together with extra equipment enabled significantly more work to be done. After a Facebook appeal we were given two extra mowers and a multi-tool. However, the Honda strimmer developed a fault and was out of action most of the year awaiting a part. An extra lock was fitted on the store to improve the security of the storage. The wood chipper made a significant difference to reducing the need to

���

make trips to the tip and helped the improvement of the unpaved paths. The paved path however from one end of the churchyard to the other continues to deteriorate and presents a safety issue for pedestrians in icy weather. The pollarded lime tree close to the church tower appears to have made a good recovery but it was noticed that it was hollow and a survey was carried out by a tree surgeon who pronounced it was not a danger but recommended its health be monitored towards the end of 2023 and subsequent years. Notts Wildlife surveyed the top churchyard at the start of 2023 and made various recommendations which are being put into operation this year. In the lower churchyard a Mountain Ash tree was donated by Derek Swinton and ceremonially planted to commemorate the Platinum Jubilee of her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The Lych Gates were removed in 2022 due to poor repair and an order placed for new gates which will be hung in Spring 2023. Peter Thomas

Events Committee – All Hallows:

As the world slowly emerges from Covid we have slowly begun to return to a more familiar routine of special events and activities.

Peter & Shirley Thomas have, with support of their team of helpers, arranged, promoted and delivered a full programme of Live & Local performances again this year. The Live & Local performances have contributed towards the financial viability of the parish, and to the vitality of the local area for a number of years. Peter & Shirley are stepping down from this role after decades of service and we own them both a huge debt of gratitude for the joy they have injected into our community. Tessa Rolph, along with others, is stepping into Peter & Shirley’s shoes so we are very pleased to say that ‘the show WILL go on’.

The Platinum Jubilee celebrations last June were marred by poor weather. Nevertheless, the street party moved inside the parish hall and was greatly enjoyed by everyone.

The annual Scarecrow Festival goes from strength to strength, and is another event that is equally financially and socially rewarding. The death of her late Majesty just days before last year’s Festival caused uncertainty about the appropriateness or otherwise of continuing. In the end we opted to carry on, and the response was

���

overwhelmingly positive. We are always scrambling to get enough scarecrows so can I appeal to everyone to please consider signing up to make & display a scarecrow for this year’s event over the weekend of Sept 9[th] & 10[th] .

The ‘Spooky Spectacular’ held each Hallowe’en has become something of an Ordsall tradition, offering local families an alternative to Trick or Treating. Church was again full of youngsters dressed up as witches and vampires exploring the church and discovering why there is no need to fear the dark when you have Jesus to light up your life.

Christmas and summer fairs are again in the pipe line for this year, and we have a Coronation to celebrate - fingers crossed for better weather for the Church Lane Street party on Sunday 7[th] May.

Many, many thanks to everyone who helps us to deliver such a dynamic programme of Events.

Christian Aid

Retford Christian Aid Group is an ecumenical group.

At present we have representatives from The Well and Grove St. Methodist Church as well as Anglicans.

Our purpose is to support the work of Christian Aid by fundraising for Christian Aid and by telling people about the work of Christian Aid.

Our main events are the Christian Aid Lent Lunches and the Christian Aid Service which this year is at The Well on 14/5/23 at 6 pm.

The committee is very small and we could do with more members.

Our parish is represented by Pat Bloodworth, Paul Hardman, Sally Hardman.

Joan Henderson supports the work by ordering the Christian Aid Week resources each year.

Last year we raised, across Retford, £2006.16

���

Please consider joining the Christian Aid Group: if we had more members we could put on more events and raise more money.

Rakitovo Self Sufficiency Fund:

St Michaels Church continues to regularly sponsor Monica, a teenager, in Rakitovo, Bulgaria through the Rakitovo Self Sufficiency Fund. We also give extra money for her birthday, Christmas and a return to school grant in September.

As most of you will be aware the fund was set up by Martin and Julie Peniston-Bird to provide hope and assistance to the Roma population in Rakitovo. The fund assists impoverished families to become self-sufficient through ‘Project Potato’ and provides training schemes for young adults in cookery, massage, waiting and bar work which has successfully given them employment and hopes for the future.

2022 continued to be a difficult year all around the world and the children, young adults, and their parents in Rakitovo are grateful for another year of our support in helping them to cope with the difficulties of their life. In the early part of the year Covid kept many of the children and young adults away from their teachers and friends so in the summer it was with extra joy that the families could meet up in the mountains and while there were able to provide much needed extra income with the picking and sale of mushrooms and herbs.

Monika writes to us throughout the year, you may have seen some of her letters in church, and she is always extremely grateful for our support and enjoys the extra little treats she and her family receive through our sponsorship.

If anyone wishes to sponsor a child or to donate to this worthwhile fund, please contact Martin at The Rakitovo Self Sufficiency Fund. The e mail address is martin@peniston-bird.co.uk.
