Hello everyone,
As the end of 2012 is approaching rapidly, our thoughts
naturally turn to seasonal celebrations and the Core Group of
Sustainable Crediton would like to wish everyone reading this a
wonderful festive season. Look out for our Christmas Tree at the Christmas Tree
Festival in Holy Cross Church from the 6th to 9th
December.
Our next newsletter will come out early in the New Year but we
already have some excellent events lined up for next year
including, on the 18th January, a chance to meet up with friends or
like-minded people from Sustainable Crediton when we show a film "In
Transition 2.0 " at the Arts Centre. January 26th also
sees the return of our successful plastics collection days at a new
venue, Peck & Strong, Lords Meadow. Then in February another
chance to socialise, this time at the Boniface Centre, where we
will be holding a talk
'Shrinking the giant hamster: how we can be better off without
growth.'
The New Year is a time for resolutions. If you were thinking of
becoming more involved in some of Sustainable Crediton's
activities, then the newsletter gives you three chances to a
greater or lesser extent! Firstly we would like a group of
supporters to help us answer the question "Who
do we think we are talking to? " This is likely to be a one-off
meeting. Then we have an opportunity to coordinate a
memories and lost skills project in association with the
Crediton History Society. And finally we are looking for a someone
to help us improve
the way we publicise ourselves.
Finally, we have made some improvements to our website, offering
readers the chance to interact with article writers by making
comments on some pages. Why not give this a try on a controversial
subject, Wind
Turbines, where we have set out our position. We would really
like to hear your views.
