ELECTORAL ROLL

The Electoral Roll is the church’s membership list. Joining is an act of commitment to St Margaret’s and to the wider Church, and enables eligible members to vote at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM).

Can we count you in?

The church invites those who consider themselves part of St Margaret’s church family to apply. The application sets out the eligibility requirements, including baptism, being aged 16 or over, and the relevant parish residency or worship requirements.

If you are unsure whether you qualify, the church office can help. You can also check the parish boundaries before applying.
