Welcome to the bumper September edition.

Main news: it's Green Fair in the Square time, this Saturday 24th, 11am to 2pm.

We will have displays about the Community Larder whose volunteers will also be serving a range of home-made soups, our pollinator project, woodland management group, community allotment, information about green banking, tips on sustainable living, seed sharing, tree planting, lift sharing... the list goes on - phew!

We will also be hosting Orchards Live, Devon Wildlife Trust, The Bike Shed, Crediton Garden Club, Newton St Cyres Environment and Well-being Group, the smoothie bike, Turning Tides, community energy information and live music. You will also be able to update our wish tree and messages to Mel Stride MP. So there's something for everyone - do come along and join us, we look forward to seeing you on Saturday.

On a more mundane point: I'm struggling with a minor but niggling issue relating to the newsletter production. If there are any former newsletter editors / SusCred website contributors out there who wouldn't mind being asked, please drop me a line at our info@ email account. Thanks!

John Craythorne, on behalf of Core Group
