The full list of events for the month can be seen in the Calendar and more information about them in Pew News but here are just a few of the highlights.

An Election of our own!

At our annual meeting on Wednesday 21st April, Terry Comer was elected as Churchwarden to serve alongside Dick Jeffery.       Here he introduces himself.

Following my election at the recent Vestry Meeting I am delighted to be given the opportunity to undertake the role of Churchwarden at St Peter and St Paul and attempt to fill the great void following Ian Henderson’s departure. Ian will be a difficult person to replace. He has unselfishly given of his time and helped Nigel guide the church through the last five years. We owe him our thanks and best wishes as he steps down at the Archdeacon’s Visitation at our church on 4 May.

I am married to Nicky, who has worked in Aldeburgh for four years. Our daughter, Helen, left Cambridge University in 2009 and now teaches Religious Education at Chantry High School in Ipswich. Before arriving in Aldeburgh in 2008 we spent over 18 years living in Kettleburgh, near Framlingham. During that time I spent time as a parish councillor, a short spell as Chair of the Village Hall Committee and over 17 years on the PCC, mostly as Treasurer. Many church members will know me from our close connection with Aldeburgh Music, where I am Head of Finance. I was elected to the PCC last year and served on the Fundraising Committee under the leadership of Lady Maddocks.

I look forward to working with my fellow churchwarden, Dick Jeffery, and our deputies, Ken Smith and Derek Cook. We have a great team at Aldeburgh and I’m sure the forthcoming year will prove to be as rewarding as it will be demanding.                                                                                                Terry Comer
