PCC Meeting, Parish Church Of St. Denys, Warminster
The Treasurer gave details of the present financial position, which was satisfactory. Unfortunately our insurance renewal premium had increased to £6,000 despite efforts to keep the figure as low as possible.
The carpeting in the West End was now in poor condition. A quotation was to be obtained for replacement floor covering.
Peter Binns asked that the organ be inspected. It was agreed that we ask John Budgen to attend the next PCC meeting to report on possible repairs.
A plan was shown to the meeting detailing extra work necessary for the toilets to conform to legal requirements for disabled worshippers. It was agreed that work should proceed at an approximate cost of £5,000.
Alpha – a reunion meeting of Alpha members and friends would be held at Ivy House on 16 June. Bishop John Perry would attend.
The Teaching & Mission Committee reported that the clergy would make closer contact with eight primary schools which we look after. Unfortunately the Headmistress of the Minster School would be retiring due to ill health.
The Harvest Festival would take place on 26 September. A Harvest Supper would be arranged on Saturday 25 September at 6.30 p.m.
Our Patronal Service would be held on 16 October with refreshments afterwards.
