Annual general meetings
If you are elected in May your first meeting will be the Annual Meeting of the Council. This is where you elect a chairman and probably a vice-chairman, and appoint committee members and representatives to other bodies. Remember that this is a meeting of the council, the minutes of this meeting are shown at the start of the MAY PARISH COUNCIL MINUTES.
Annual Parish Meetings
The Annual Parish Meeting is not a council meeting. It is a meeting of the parish taking place between 1 March and 1 June.
Electors can contribute to the agenda and in practice these meetings often celebrate local activities and debate current
issues in the community. The Chairman, if present, will chair the meeting.
