ELECTORAL ROLL RENEWAL
As you will all be aware 2025 is a year of revision! Everyone who wishes to remain on the Electoral Roll must complete a new electoral roll form, there are copies available in all the churches across the benefice. Do remember that we have ONE benefice made up of TWO parishes - and you can quite legitimately be on the Electoral Roll of both parishes if you would like to be. However if you do want to be on both Electoral Rolls you will need to complete a form for Kirklevington & Worsall AND a form for Yarm. Please speak to Fr Darren or Rev Kate if you need anything clarifying! Alternatively, forms can be obtained from Mrs M Joyce, 11 The Green Kirklevington. Tel: 01642 783212 Once completed, forms can be left in the box at the back of each church or at 11, The Green.
Forms must be returned by Easter Sunday, 20th April, at the latest.
