Welcome to the first newsletter this autumn with lots going
on...
A chance to hear about running your group in a
more enterprising way from two excellent speakers, and the
latest funding opportunities at this free event on the 7th
October at the Boniface Centre from 10am to 2pm.
The final Community Market of this
year is on 11th October on the Market
Square, Crediton from 10 am until 1pm. If last year's market
is anything to go by, there will also be a terrific selection of
home grown vegetables, fruit, jams and chutneys so do come along
and enjoy the fruits of the Autumn season. Orchards Live will be
offering apple displays, tastings and advice. Bring some of
your apples with a bottle or two and they will press them to make
your own juice.
Taking place on the 18th October is Crediton's
first Justice Day, which comprises the Justice Fayre
and the Big Event. We shall be having a stall at the Justice Fayre
where we will base an exhibit around Neil Young's new environmental
protest song. Justice Day takes place at the
Congregational Church from 12:30 to 3 pm, and in the evening from 7
to 9 pm there is the Big Event with bands and choirs.
Following closely, at 7:30pm on the 20th
October, our Community
Renewable Energy Project team will be holding a public meeting
at Crediton United FC Clubhouse at Lords Meadow Leisure Centre. Our
consultants will be reporting their initial findings, we will be
seeking the public's opinion on whether we should concentrate on
wind, solar, or AD for our project, and we would really appreciate
your attendance and help.

Casitas at a cost of £17.50 for three courses. If you are
