Sustainable Crediton Newsletter Issue 18

Hello Everyone,

Sustainable Crediton had a very busy September and lots of press coverage which was excellent for raising our profile!

We are not sitting on our laurels however and have more events coming up in October. Another of the very popular seasonal suppers takes place on October 15th at the Boniface in Crediton. The menu (below) looks delicious. Make sure you book in the next few days to avoid disappointment.

The Community Markets are also growing. The last one of the season takes place later this month so why not come along as a stallholder or shopper and find out what all the fuss is about. Everyone is also welcome at a workshop day in Exeter this month where we will share ideas with other local Transition Groups and find out how to make our organisation more effective. Come and express your views and help us make Sustainable Crediton a truly unstoppable force for positive change. 

Enjoy the newsletter and all the autumn bounty currently on offer around us.

Paula Mossman, Editor
