Sustainable Crediton newsletter issue 142, February 2023

Welcome to our February newsletter, especially so our new members who signed up at our recent very enjoyable and successful Seed Share event at the Boniface Centre.

There's lots of news and surely something of interest for everyone in this month's edition. Scroll down to see what is going on.

One old piece of news which needs repeating: we still need a new newsletter editor! As matters stand, I shall be compiling two more newsletters, after which it will cease to be published. So do get in touch if you are interested in taking it on. As I've mentioned previously, no special knowledge or expertise is required.

Best wishes,

John Craythorne, on behalf of Sustainable Crediton Core Group
