Sustainable Crediton Newsletter Issue 3

Hello Everyone,

Summer is upon us and Sustainable Crediton members are geared up for lots of practical action, so can I suggest you read this newsletter with diary in hand to note down some of the dates I know you will be interested in.

Lots of thought and planning has gone into the Food and Farming Group's stand at the Food Festival in Crediton on 19th and 20th June. The following weekend they have also teamed up with the Energy Group to organise a Sustainable Living Weekend. This weekend features the homes of 14 different Sustainable Crediton supporters being open to the public, including mine!!

All this effort is wasted however if people do not attend these events. So we ask you to 'do your bit' by coming along yourselves wherever you can and also by passing on this email and encouraging friends and relatives to come too.

Thank you. We look forward to seeing you.

Paula Mossman, Editor
