Sustainable Crediton newsletter issue 139, October 2022

Welcome to the newsletter everyone, and an especially warm welcome to those new subscribers who signed up at the Green Fair.

Please do read the first item under News Highlights, about our Forum for the Future and Annual General Meeting 29th October. As it says, this is about involving you in planning ahead, and ensuring we have a thriving future by attracting more of our members to become involved in an organising role.

A number of us on Core Group are likely to be calling it a day within the foreseeable future. We would love to see Sustainable Crediton continue and prosper with new leadership. Come along on 29th and find out more. We promise no-one will be browbeaten or cajoled into doing stuff they don't want to do!

We plan to make the day informative, sociable and enjoyable. Everyone welcome, old friends and new faces alike.

With best wishes,

John Craythorne, on behalf of Core Group
