Sustainable Crediton Newsletter Issue 74
Welcome to September's Newsletter. We have two events planned
for this month.
The Food Group is running a workshop entitled " Seed Saving Made Easy" on Thursday
the 8th September at Sandford Congregational Church from 7:30 to
9pm. It is suitable for beginners and experts alike and whilst
being social and informative will also help with the preparations
for next February's seedshare.
On the 15th September at the Crediton Inn from 7:30 to 9pm we
are having the first in our new series of informal socials where everyone is
welcome to join us in a relaxed atmosphere over a pint or your
favourite tipple. The focus of this event will be electric cars.
So if you own or are thinking of buying or just want to learn more
about electric cars, then do come along.
Looking forward to October, the Waste Action Group are putting
their plans together for a week long Give or Take Shop
from the 22nd to the 29th October at the Methodist Church, Crediton
which will include a Restart Cafe.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat”
Theodore Roosevelt
