The first meeting of the “new year”, in May, was preceded by a service of Holy Communion in the Minster. Some guests were welcomed to address the PCC during their meetings: Alison Francis and Mike Lunt (MEG); Lesley Shucksmith (CMS). Regular reports were received from the sub-committees, and Mr. Richard Knott, Hon. Treasurer, kept the PCC up-to-date on financial matters. Among the other subjects discussed at PCC meetings were: Safeguarding, Breakfast Church, Committee structure, Wimborne BID, CMS new link, Interregnum matters, Fair trade; Sunday parking charges; Minster finances. Members of the PCC participated in two “reflection sessions”, led by Revd. Charles Burgess, during which detailed consideration was given to the current status and future hopes for the Minster, and the qualities of a new Rector. The PCC said its farewells to the Rector, Revd. Canon Vanessa Herrick, during the year. Chairmanship of the PCC has been under the able direction of Mr. Francis Vine. The PCC also appreciated the interest of Archdeacon Antony MacRow- Wood, who attended one meeting and gave the benefit of his advice. Trudy Davies, Hon. Secretary, PCC Safeguarding There have been no safeguarding enquiries during the past 12 months. The process for Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks has been greatly improved. Jane Davidson, Parish Safeguarding Representative (PSR) is present at Church House on a regular basis to complete the checks, these are now returned within two days. Safeguarding Training in CO and C1 are offered on line by Salisbury Diocese on https://safeguardingtraining.cofeportal.org There is an option for face to face with Jane Davidson, (PSR) throughout the year in Church House, Wimborne Minster. These are also available for parishioners from the Northern Villages. We are working towards all PCC members and volunteers completing the C0 trainings, all LPA’s and those with leadership responsibilities to complete C1 and C2 trainings. 3 Lone Worker Training has been developed and provided for Minster and Northern Villages staff and volunteers. Jane is available on most Thursday mornings, 10.00 -12.00 in the Church Lounge for enquiries, DBS checks and verification, support with online training. De Ashton, Church Warden is acting as Deputy Parish Safeguarding Representative (DPSR) in the event of Jane’s absence. General Data Protection Regulation compliance is underway to safeguard information held within the Minster and Minster organisations. Barry Glazier, Jane Davidson and Donna Gosney are the working towards this compliance by May 2018. Jane Davidson, Parish Safeguarding representative Committee Reports Outreach Our aim is to support people both locally and throughout the World.

Sue Slydel, an Outreach committee member, is the Minster link person. Minster food collection taken weekly to the Wimborne Food Bank collection depot. Regular Outreach committee meetings are held (seven in 2017) Highlights of 2017 Average of 30 people attending Housebound events. These occasions are extremely popular and very much appreciated by all who attend. £3031 raised at Lunch and Chat for Sudan Medical Link £189 raised at Lunch and Chat to support Wimborne Deanery Yambio link. 4 Provision of refreshments at the Minster Fair – (£536 raised) Grant of £500 received from the Digby Trust for the elderly of the parish. This is to be used on two occasions – lunch at the King’s Head (January 2018) and an afternoon tea at the Model Town (April 2018). Tourism The Tourism Committee includes members associated with the Shop, Welcomers, Chained Library and the Guides as well as being a member of the Town’s Tourist Attractions Group which, in addition to the Minster, includes the Priest House Museum and Garden, the Model Town and the Walford Mill Craft Centre, with the likelihood of it being joined in 2018 by the Tivoli Theatre. The Committee met on three occasions in 2017. Discussions during the year have included how we might attract more visitors to the Minster, our advertising, whether we should have an “outside firm” to distribute our publicity leaflets, carrying out a survey of our visitors and looking at whether the committee should be amalgamated with the group looking at the Heritage Lottery Fund application. As Chairman of the Tourism Committee I am very much aware of the work carried out by the members of the group and I have asked each to write a short piece on their own areas. Anthony Oliver, Chairman, Tourism Committee Minster Shop Report: The aim of our shop is to offer a service to visitors and locals alike, enabling them to purchase goods such as cards and souvenirs that relate to the Minster, along with Biblical literature that they may find difficult to source elsewhere. By achieving this we are able to generate a profitable income, which is contributed solely towards the up keep of the Minster. Our opening hours are 10am-4pm Monday to Saturday. The shop is run solely by volunteers. We are very fortunate to have such reliable, and supportive volunteers but we are always looking for new people to join our team. We are very pleased with the feedback we have received from our customers during the past year, as a result of our renewed efforts to keep the shop looking very seasonal. Hopefully in the next few months the layout of the shop will 5 change, and this will enable us to re-vamp the shop and reduce slow moving stock, which in turn will increase the profits! Donna Gosney, Wimborne Minster Shop Manager Chained Library: It has been a very exciting time in the Library this year. Some of you may know of the Governors’ Charter which hangs in the Library. We had been made aware that there was mould inside the box which holds it. If this had been left it would have destroyed some of the writing of the Charles I Document. I am happy to report that it has now been restored. It was not thought necessary to replace the outer cover, but everything looks brighter and cleaner and more readable than before. A new cover has been made as the old one was rather moth- eaten. No light at all can get into it now, so it will be safe for another 400 years or so. As you will know, lots of things are happening in the Minster as well as the Restoration of the Charter. Norma Jackson is making a new cover for the Display Case. The old cover will continue to be used underneath the new one. We defy any light to get in once this is done. We also plan (as advised by Tobit Curteis) to have some curtains made of the same material for the window looking onto King Street. Sadly, several members of our team have had to retire because of ill health, so if you know of anyone who could give two hours once a fortnight to the Library, we would love to meet them. Judith Monds, Head Librarian Minster Tour Guides: 2017 was an interesting year for the Tourist Guides. We had many booked tours ranging from groups of twelve to the largest group of fifty and we enjoyed dealing with several languages – German, French and Chinese! Adult groups paid a fee and around £1,000 was raised towards the upkeep of the Minster. We do not charge children, as their tours are part of the education for schools, Cubs, Brownies etc. Our list is expanding as behind the scenes plans are being made for history tours, observation (treasure hunts), Christian tours etc. 6 The Team of Guides also volunteered to cover two-hour stints each weekday during the season and these have been much appreciated by the many visitors. We look forward to starting the new season beginning at Easter and making use of our winter studies and homework. Christine Oliver, Head Guide Fund-Raising

These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.
