CCA Newsletter Issue 23
Hi Everyone,
There is no doubt that CCA is growing rapidly and
our influence as an organisation is being felt in Crediton. A
good sign that we are making a difference is when the critics
start to pop up from the undergrowth and take pot shots at
us, as they have been doing in that well known local
journal 'the Courier' in recent weeks. We welcome their
letters and comments - it gives us an opportunity to reply and
raise our profile further!
