 An entirely NEW Electoral Roll – DEADLINE TODAY– It is the time of year when our Electoral Roll is revisited in time for our APCM.  This year a new roll is required, which happens every five years, and this means that, rather than just renewing our existing list, everyone will need to complete a form to be included on the new Electoral Roll.  If you would like to be on the Itchen Valley Churches Electoral Roll, please download the form from this link, complete it and return it to the Parish Office by Thursday 13 March. This can also be scanned and returned by email to admin@itchenvalleychurches.org.

ADCMs – It is the time of year when each church holds their ADCMs prior to the Parish APCM (Annual Parochial Church Meeting) which will this year be held on Friday 28 March (details below).

Itchen Abbas’s meeting will be held at 6pm on Friday 14 March at St John’s, Itchen Abbas.

Easton’s meeting will be held at 11am (after Parish Communion) on Sunday 16 March at St Mary’s, Easton.

APCM – the decision has been taken to revert to the usual style of APCM. This year’s meeting will be held on Friday 28 March at 7pm in St John’s Church, Itchen Abbas. Drinks and nibbles will precede the meeting from 6pm. We will be inviting Revd Canon Andrew Micklefield to chair the meeting for us, it is always a good time to catch up with friends. Please put this date in your diaries as everyone is welcome to attend.
