CCA Newsletter Issue 17

Our newsletter is now going out to over 210 people but we would like it to be more as there are over 6,000 people in Crediton alone without all the outlying villages. So if you know of anyone who might like to receive it, please let me know their email address (after checking with them first of course) and we will add them to the list
