Electoral Roll – Revision 2021 It’s that time again – the Electoral roll of St Bartholomew’s and St Anne’s is being revised before the APCM.The church electoral roll is not just a list of people who worship at St Bart’s & St Anne’s; it's a register of people who want to take an active part in the running of their church.So, before the APCM is held, we want to give you all a little nudge to get yourselves onto the roll, so you can take an active part in the discussions and decisions made about your church, with your money and on your behalf.

If you are already on the roll you don’t need to do anything unless you have changed any of your details, like your address or name.  If you are not on the roll and would like to be please contact the Parish Office who will be able send you a form electronically or arrange for one to come out to you. You may print a form here:

The roll will be open for revision on Sunday 14th March and all forms will need to be returned to the church by Sunday 4th April when the roll will be closed.
