Final Stationing Conversations

Final Stationing Conversation

All ministers and their partners are offered an individual appointment with the Chair of District and the Lay Stationing Representative in October to discuss the possible matches with circuits seeking a new minister. A shortlist of 5 preferred stations is drawn up, and a longer list is discussed should those appointments not be available to the Chair when the first Stationing Matching meeting takes place.
Representatives from Circuits seeking a new minister are also offered an appointment with the Chair and Lay Stationing representative to draw up their short list of 5 preferred ministers, and the longer list of possible alternatives.
The dates of these are circulated to the relevant ministers and circuits usually via a Doodle-poll. This is followed by confirmation of the date and time for each appointment.

The dates set aside for those looking for a stationing match in 2026 are 22/23 October. Please hold these date free if you are likely to be involved in the process. We will be in touch nearer the time to set appointment times.
