Important Role To Fill!
We still have a vacancy for a PCC secretary for Clymping
Clymping PCC needs someone to take minutes at meetings and coordinate agendas and annual reports. They are vital roles in the life of the parishes and we need to fill these roles. PCC’s meet every other month, plus occasional standing committees in between. We have a very efficient system working and our outgoing PCC Secretary (who is retiring) will be happy to instruct the new secretary. Please consider if you might have the skills we need! Contact Richard for more details
