*=Annual General Meeting (where officers, delegates, committees etc. are elected for the coming year).
The Annual Parish Meeting is entirely separate from the AGM and normal council meetings.
It should also be noted that these meetings have their minutes passed the following year so therefore
they are draft and should be read in conjunction with the next years minutes.
