“The Annual Parishioners Meeting” (to elect churchwardens) and “The Annual Parochial Church Meeting of the Parish of St. Ippolyts” will be held in St. Ippolyts Parish Hall at 7.45pm. on Thursday 26^thApril.  Everyone is welcome to attend but only those on the St. Ippolyts Church Electoral Roll may vote at the second meeting.

The meeting is the Church’s AGM and there will be a review of 2017 with reports from the Churchwardens, our Treasurer, and St. Ippolyts School, as well as the appointment of officers, sidesmen and independent financial examiners.  To make the evening ‘go with a flow’ there will be wine, soft drinks and nibbles available.

The Church Electoral Roll is closed 15 days before the Annual Parochial Church Meeting and this means Wednesday 11^thApril 2018.  Please check on the roll, which is in a file at the rear of the church, to see that you are registered and your details are correct.  If you are not on the roll and wish to be, there are forms available at the back of church, which should then be handed to Michael Hooper, our Electoral Roll Officer, or Jane Veasey the other Churchwarden.

On the fifth Sunday this month, 29^thApril at 11.00am.

we are delighted to welcome back The Reverend Ian Tattum to St. Mary’s, so

do come along to hear how he is getting on.  Ian was our Priest in Charge in 2001, after being at St. Ippolyts; we then became a united Benefice.  When he left he went on to a church in Wimbledon, where he still is today.

Paul Harding and Doug Richardson are going to run a Christianity Explored course in Great Wymondley.  We aim to have two sessions a month during April, May and June starting on Monday 16^thApril.

The course is basically a Bible Study in Mark’s gospel with a video talk and a discussion time using the course booklet.  It is arranged so that participants can be as involved in the discussion as much or as little as they are comfortable with.

We will start at 7.30pm. and finish at 9.30pm. at The Croft.

The course has a website which gives a good feel for the style of the teaching at www.christianityexplored.org.  If you would like more information or to sign up, please contact Doug Richardson on

As you can see, the organisation of the 100 Club has changed in that Jean Williams has, after many years, decided to hand the running of it on to me, Shelagh Cox.  I feel privileged to be given this task and I hope to run the club in the same, very successful way, that Jean instigated, and I will uphold the original aims of the Club.

So on behalf of all members of the 100 Club I would like to thank Jean very much for setting up the Club in 1990 and running it unfailingly for the benefit of members and the Church Fabric Fund.  New members always welcome so if you would like to join please contact me on 01462-432445 or email This email address is being protected from spambots.
