Kenneth Belcher

It is with great sadness that we report the recent death of Ken Belcher, who died on the 12th December 2014.

Brother Ken joined the GSS in 1980 and was a regular attendee at Chapter meetings until the Chapter went into abeyance.

He was a regular server at St John the Baptist's Church, Kidlington and took an active role there running the serving team. For a number of years he fulfilled the role of Chapter Secretary at a time when support for the chapter was waning and members will ever be grateful to him for keeping things going during that difficult time.

Our deepest condolences to his wife Barbara and his family.

Closure of the Chapter of St Birinus

At the Annual General Meeting of the chapter held on 13th March 2013, a decision was taken to close the chapter. There will be no futher meetings. Many thanks to all who have supported the chapter over the years.

Closure of Chapter Balance Sheet

The chapter's finances have been brought to final account. In accordance with the rules of the GSS, the assets of the chapter have been sent to the Secretary-General to be held until such time as the chapter is reformed. The final balance of the chapter amounted to £1,131.12 and a cheque has been issued to the Secretary-General in this amount. A summary of the final balance is posted on this weblog for your information. Thank you to Trevor Langrish for preparing the final balance and for Michael Ling for auditing it for us.
