Welcome to September's Newsletter. After a quiet August we have several groups meeting this September to plan their forthcoming activities. If you would like to join in and help any of our groups, you will find we are very friendly and very much welcome new members to our groups.

We can announce that the Waste Group are planning another Give and Take event for October in association with Refurnish, Crediton.

The Energy Group's feasibility study on a renewable energy project in Crediton has been approved by the funding body, WRAP. However two consultations by the Department of Energy and Climate Change are likely to make any projects unviable economically. Hence the Energy Group has submitted one response and is working on another. We are trying at least to make community energy projects exempt from any changes. You can help by completing the campaign in the newsletter below.

The Food Group are planning an Autumn Market on the 24th October in the Town Square from 10 til 1. There will be apple juicing and lots more. The group are holding a planning meeting at Wetherspoons at 7:30pm on the 14th September at Wetherspoons. Your help is needed to make this a super special celebration of local seasonal produce and crafts. So you are most welcome to come along to this meeting. Later this month on the 20th at 10:30am there will be a foraging walk around the Sandford Millenium Green. Whilst the 2016 seed share is a few months away, now is the time to start saving seed for the event on the 20th February 2016.

Finally, there is an important event on the Wednesday the 23^rd of September 2015 from 5-7pm at the Community Bookshop where Crediton residents can talk to the Crediton Flood Resilience Team and suggest ideas about what can be done to prevent future flooding.

There are new items in the Marketplace, an area which is free for supporters to advertise.
