Three annual meetings relating to St Peter’s Church were held in the Old School under the chairmanship of the vicar, the Rev Canon John Hancock.
First came the open PCC meeting, which dealt mainly with the annual accounts and the budget for the current yeaz There was a small surplus of income over expenditure for only the second time in six years, which resulted in an increase in reserves, but the budget anticipates a small deficit for 2002.
The second meeting was the Vestry Meeting, which is solely concerned with the election of the churchwardens; the three serving wardens, Tony Hesmondhalgh, John Sowerby and Joan Anderton, were re-elected.
The final meeting was the annual parochial church meeting which received the vicar’s annual report and approved the accounts.
Dr Dorothy Williams gave the Deanery Synod report on behalf of the church’s synod reprentatives, who were all re-elected, as were all those acting as sidesmen.
