CCA Newsletter Issue 11

Hello Everyone

I am excited by this edition of the Newsletter.

WHY? - because there is so much beginning to happen in Crediton related to CCA. Perhaps it is because spring is in the air, perhaps it is as a result of our Open Space Day and growing awareness of climate change and peak oil. Who Knows ? - read on and find out what you could get involved with - there is something to suit all interests.

Have A Happy Easter Holidays
