Come and talk to a Douzenier - Saturday 18 October 10.00-12.00 at Beau Sejour

“Love St Peter Port?” is the question Douzeniers will be putting to parishioners at a St Peter Port drop-in on Saturday 18 October between 10am – 12 noon in the Beau Sejour foyer It’s the time again for the Douzenier and a Constable election. With 1 Constable and several Douzenier positions up for contention, now is the time to find out if you can help your parish by joining the Douzaine

Douzenier Mary McDermott said that the role of Douzenier was a varied and fulfilling one and she encouraged parishioners to find out more.

‘The Douzaine comprises a diverse group of people each with their own skillsets and talents.  By standing as a Douzenier you are adding to this.  We’re keen to talk with  people who feel they have something to offer and give them a little insight into what is required.

There are a few misconceptions about being a Douzenier.   You don’t have to be locally born, you don’t have to follow a certain faith, you don’t have to work in finance, and you don’t have to have English as a first language.  The key criteria required are that you live in the Parish, are on the electoral role and want to have a voice. After that what you bring to the table is down to you. 

‘I really would encourage people to find out what it’s all about.’ she said.

The session starts at 10am at Beau Sejour and runs until 12:00 noon.  As always Douzeniers will be on hand to discuss a variety of issues pertinent to the Parish as required.
