Annual Meetings
The Parish Council holds two annual meetings, usually on the second Thursday in May. The first is the Annual Parish Council Meeting - a formal meeting which acts as the Council's AGM and deals with procedural matters including appointing a Chair for the forthcoming year and approving the previous year's accounting and governance review. The second is the Annual Parish Meeting - a meeting of the electors of the parish which offers an opportunity to come together and find out what's been happening during the past year. Community groups are invited to submit reports on their activities.
