Sustainable Crediton Newsletter 160, October 2024

It's movie month!  Take a look at the two film screenings this month, one in the Crediton Methodist Church and one in the Arts Centre.  Both are free events with donations welcome. There is also the opportunity (if you are really quick) to have your say on the Great British Energy Bill. A date not to be missed is our lovely Crafternoon event in the Boniface Centre.  So do browse our newsletter as there is something for everyone. 

Best wishes, John Craythorne and Lesley Thomas, Joint Newsletter Editors
