Every parish is legally required to hold an Annual Parish Meeting to elect Churchwardens and an Annual Parochial Church Meeting to conduct other parish business, including to elect members to the Parish Church Council; to review the finances and the workings of the parish over the previous calendar year. The meeting can also raise issues for the PCC to consider during the coming year.

Our APCMs this year will be held after the 10 am services on the following Sundays:

Spelsbury – 3rd May at 11.15 am
Ascott – 10th May at 11.15 am
Enstone – 17th May at 11.15 am
Chadlington – 24th May at 11.15 am

We encourage all members of our Electoral Rolls to attend these important meetings in the life of our parishes and Benefice.

Details of each of these meetings is posted below, including nomination forms for the election of Churchwardens and PCC members. We will shortly be publishing our APCM reports and accounts and  minutes of the APCMs held in 2025 and links to these will be posted over the coming days – they will appear as green text below. If you would like a copy of the APCM and accounts sent to you by post, please email Beth Sinclair, Benefice Administrator, here.
