Annual Parochial Church Meetings

Every parish must hold (no later than 31^st of May in each year) an annual parochial church meeting, often referred to simply as the 'APCM'.

This annual meeting, which is open to all, reports on changes to the electoral roll, parish activities and financial matters.

The main purposes are:

·         An Annual Report of the proceedings of the parochial church council and the activities of the parish generally.

·         A review of the Church Electoral Roll. 

·         The Financial Statements of the Council for the year ending on the 31^st of December immediately preceding the meeting, audited or independently examined.

·         A Report on the fabric, goods and ornaments of the church or churches of the parish.

·         A Report on the proceedings of the Deanery Synod; and other matters of parochial or general Church interest.
