Sustainable Crediton newsletter issue 137, July 2022

Welcome all, especially new subscribers to the newsletter who have signed up at the Community Allotment on Barnfield Road. Which incidentally is doing really well, but needs plenty of TLC for us to make best use of it. If you would like to get involved, drop us an email and we will get back to you.

I shall be giving up the editorship of the newsletter at our AGM in October (further details in the next newsletter). This means there will be just three further editions appearing unless we can find a willing volunteer, or volunteers, to take over.

Qualifications required: none, other than an enthusiasm for the written word and access to a computer, tablet etc. Absolutely no I.T. skills required above those necessary to type a document and organise files. Everything else - the computer does for you! Clever, eh?

You don't need to have been previously active with SusCred; you are even allowed to be young! Thinking about a career in the media? This would be a great opportunity to show off your skills.

Don't want to do it all by yourself? Ask a friend - make a team.

Drop us a line if you would like to find out more.

John Craythorne, on behalf of Sustainable Crediton
