  • Annual Report 2016 AGM: Saturday 20Th May 2017 FRIENDS of KENT CHURCHES a Visit to St Mary, Stone in Oxney and St John the Baptist, Wittersham
    Annual Report 2016 AGM: Saturday 20th May 2017 FRIENDS OF KENT CHURCHES A visit to St Mary, Stone in Oxney and St John the Baptist, Wittersham. 67th ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Saturday 20th May 2017 At 2.00pm a visit to St Mary, Stone in Oxney. Norman Penny will give a talk on the Mithraic altar stone with its relief of a bull and there will also be a talk on St Mary, a complete Perpendicular church overlooking the Marsh. At 3.00pm the AGM will be held at St John the Baptist, Wittersham, a church which appeals because of the simplicity of its plain white walls which emphasise the stone work and shaped octagonal pillars. The tower of St John is so tall that it makes the rest of the church look deceptively low but inside the church is spacious and a good setting for our AGM. The AGM will be followed by a talk on the church and the restoration of the stonework, St Mary, Stone in Oxney which we were pleased to support with a grant, and then tea. AGM AGENDA 1. Apologies for absence. 2. To approve the Minutes of the last Annual General Meeting. 3. To receive the Chairman’s Report. 4. To receive and, if thought fit, adopt the Treasurer’s Report and Statement of Accounts for the year ended 31st December 2016 and to appoint an auditor for 2017. 5. Any other business notified to the Secretary in advance. CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 2016 Dear Friends, I am pleased yet again to report on a successful year for the Friends of Kent Churches.
