The Archdeacons are hosting a day to come together, explore the role, offer up to date guidance, and provide opportunities for discussion and mutual support, as well as the answers to specific questions. The day is open to Churchwardens and will take place at Bouverie Court. The training day can give a very good picture of what to expect when in office.
