Annual meetings in parish
The Upper Wharfedale and Littondale Annual Meeting of Parishioners (AMP), Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM), and an exhibition of old parish records will be held on Wednesday, April 22, at 7.30pm in Kettlewell Village Hall.
We will start with the AMP (open to all parishioners), which is usually a brief event at which our church wardens are elected, followed by the APCM.
The APCM is open to everyone on the Electoral Roll and includes the election of PCC members, the appointment of parish officers and the presentation of the Annual Report for the Parish.
We will also have an exhibition featuring old parish records from the 1800s and 1990s, and a light supper, so do join us!

New email address for Parish Office
Since the formation of our parish in 2019 we have used the same email address for the Parish Office. This is a Diocese of Leeds email account, and the diocese has told us we must change to a different address.
So we are in the process of moving to a new address, which is [email protected]
For a brief period we will have both addresses, but the old address ([email protected]) is likely to cease functioning very soon.
Please look out for emails from the new address, and send any messages you have for the office to that address. Please feel free to share this message with members of your church communities and anyone else you feel may benefit from it.
