  10. Mr Roy Parsons (Newark & Southwell Deanery) to ask the Chair of the Finance Committee (or the Director of Finance): In connection with DS/Oct10/4 (Approval of the 2011 Budget), page 7, final bullet point: At the most recent convenient date, what was the overall level of General Fund Reserves and of this what proportion was held in cash, what proportion in investments convertible into cash within one month and what proportion in fixed or tangible assets only realisable after more than one month?

  11. Question for synod from Revd Jono Tregale, Pioneer Curate, Wilford Church & Emmanuel School In light of the national celebrations of church schools in 2011 are there any plans for a strategic review of resourcing of school chaplaincy across the diocese, thinking particularly of our 6 secondary schools, where provision is variable? How far ought any resourcing be determined at a diocesan level rather than at a deanery level?
