Retford Deanery [Southwell Diocese News and Events] RETFORD DEANERY SYNOD ANNUAL REPORT 2008
This year Deanery Synod have discussed the future of the Deanery and the proposal to merge the Worksop, Bawtry and Retford deaneries into one Bassetlaw Deanery with possibly a Retford Area team. Area Dean, Tony Walker and Lay Chair of Retford Deanery, Jill Woodsford attended Ordsall PCC meeting on 14/1/08 to give a presentation on this proposal. Ordsall PCC voted on and accepted the 3 proposals relating to a single Deanery. Ann Edwards, Carole Robinson, Peter Thomas Deanery Synod Representatives WORKING WITH OTHER PARISHES
I have continued with some responsibilities in the Rivers Group. I have chaired Headon PCC and attended PCC meetings in Grove. I have also taken services at Headon and officiated at baptisms, weddings and funerals in the area, though the majority are taken by other clergy. At the beginning of 2007 we began to make arrangements to link with the Elkesley group of parishes, anticipating that Clive Andrews would retire in January 2008. He remains in post though the expectation is still that a formal association will be made when he is able to retire. Paul Bagshaw RETFORD DEANERY SYNOD Annual report 2007
The last Synod meeting was held on 29/11/06 at which the new Bishop of Sherwood spoke at length of his career to date. Very little business was done. The year in general has been focused on the Deanery Mission Action Plan and future appointments. Ann Edwards, Carole Robinson, Peter Thomas Deanery Synod Representatives THE RIVERS GROUP OF PARISHES Annual report 2007
I have continued to have some (voluntary) responsibilities in the Rivers Group. I have chaired Headon PCC and attended some PCC meetings in Grove, East Drayton, Dunham and east Markham. This has been uneven and sometimes inconsistent. I have also taken an occasional baptism, wedding and funeral in the area, but the majority are taken by other clergy. Paul Bagshaw
