Important advanced notice regarding Electoral Roll Renewal

Hello everyone, this is the time of year in the Diocesan calendar when all churches are required to renew their Electoral Roll's. What does this mean? Well, if you wish to be counted as a member of the Church (St. Nicholas Church of England, Ribby cum Wrea), be able to vote at church meetings or hold any official position then you need to fill in an electoral roll form and return it to myself before February 23rd.The roll will close on that day until the Parish Annual General meeting which will be held after the Sunday morning service on April 6th, when church officers will be elected for the forthcoming year.

You can collect a form from the back of church, print as copy from the diocesan website (found under church resources), by text or emailing myself with a return address or email.

Please return completed forms either to me, any of the church wardens or the Rev. Philip Chew.

My email address is : carterlindsay@btinternet.com

Mobile number for text is : 07526228182

Many thanks for your help with this matter James Carter Lindsay, Electoral Roll Officer, St.Nicholas Church of England, Ribby cum Wrea, Lancashire.
