AGM 2013

The Kent Lieutenancy Reception following the 2013 Annual General Meeting, to which 58 of the 64 Deputies attended.


The Lieutenancy of Kent held their Annual General Meeting at Penshurst Place on Saturday 2nd February 2013. It was an opportunity for the eight new Deputy Lieutenants to meet other members of the Lieutenancy and sadly say farewell to those who retire during 2013.

Junior School Talks
Following last year’s successful Diamond Jubilee talks to Junior Schools it was agreed to continue them when schools requests are received and will be available later this year.

Briefings were given on The Lieutenancy Themes for 2013:

Youth Employment
Kent Choices Live being held on 13th-14th March at Detling in association with Kent County Council and Kent Messenger Group.

Restorative Justice Seminar hosted jointly with The High Sherriff
A seminar is to be held in the autumn on Restorative Justice. Details of this will be circulated in the spring.

The 60th anniversary of the Coronation of HM Queen
The 60th anniversary of the Coronation of HM Queen will be celebrated on Sunday 2nd Jun 13. While no special events are being planned nationally, it is hoped Thanksgiving Church Services will be held on that day, across Kent.

The AGM was followed by a reception and lunch which gave everyone a chance to network and catch up with colleagues from across the county.
