St John’s Electoral Roll – 2025 is the year for a New Roll, and everyone MUST fill in an application form if they wish to be added to the Roll. Forms are available in the Link or via Rebekah in the Vestry and need to be returned by 28^th March. There’s a box in the Link or hand them to a warden, ministry team member or Andrew Templer (ER Officer). Along with a new Electoral Roll, we are updating our GDPR (Data Protection) consent forms. This allows you to tell us how we, as a Church, can contact you and whether photos of you can be used for our Church history records. If you are unable to collect the forms, contact Andrew and he will try and deliver copies for you.

All Saints Electoral Roll – 2025 is the year when we completely revise the Electoral Roll. This means that everyone must complete an application form even if you have done this before (forms available at the back of church) and return it to James Bowles or the office. The closing date for the entries onto the roll is Sunday 20^th April.
