APCM 2025 – Sunday 6 April
Every year, parishes in the Church of England hold two important meetings:
- The Annual Meeting of Parishioners (AMP) is open to anyone on the electoral roll of the Parish of Wiverton in the Vale or resident in the parish and whose name is on the civil electoral roll of a community within the parish. The purpose of this meeting is to elect churchwardens
- The Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) is only open to those on the electoral roll of the Parish of Wiverton in the Vale. This meeting is to elect PCC members and representatives to the Deanery Synod as well as to present reports on various aspects of church life
This is a reminder that this year’s meetings take place at St Andrew’s Church, Langar on Sunday 6 April, starting with a shared lunch at 12pm, followed by the meetings.
Supporting documents for the meeting will be published when available via the links below:
If you are able, please bring these documents to the meeting, downloaded onto an electronic device, as there will only be limited supplies of paper copies available at the meeting.
If you would like to stand for one or more of the offices mentioned above, please contact the Parish Administrator, who can tell you more about what the roles entail and provide you with an application form. Alternatively, you can download copies of the application forms by clicking on the links below:
- Nomination for Churchwarden
- Nomination for Election to the Parochial Church Council (PCC)
- Nomination for Election to the Deanery Synod
Completed nomination forms should be sent to the Parish Administrator. Nominations may be submitted up until the date of the meeting, but it would be very helpful if they could be received by 27 March. Nominations received after this date will not be listed on the ballot paper for postal voting (see below).
If you are unable to attend the meeting, but would still like to vote in one or more of the elections, you can apply for a postal vote by contacting the Parish Administrator. Please provide your name, address and phone number. You will be sent a postal voting form after 27 March, which should be returned to the Parish Administrator before the date of the meeting.
