I want to mention four events coming up over the next two weeks.

Big Community Energy Weekend 17th and 18th May

Four local homes of Sustainable Crediton supporters ( 26 Old Tiverton Road, Crediton; Redlands, George Hill, Crediton; 13 Old Rectory Gardens, Morchard Bishop; and Beech Hill Community, Morchard Bishop ) with very "green" credentials will be opening their doors over the weekend of the 17th and 18th May as part of Exeter Community Energy's Big Community Energy Weekend. Visit the website or pick up a booklet from the Green House in Town Square to find addresses, maps and opening times.

Cooks' Books

Do join the Community Book Shop to hear Tim Harris, a Sustainable Crediton supporter who is passionate about food, speak about an eclectic range of food writers, with extracts from their writing, video and audio recordings, and his thinking about their influence on how we eat today. Tim, who runs The Devon Chef, a business providing private chef services and cookery classes, has met a range of cookery writers, and writes regular reviews of cookery and food books himself.

This event, in partnership with Crediton Arts Centre, takes place at the Arts Centre in East Street on Thursday 22 May at 8.00 p.m. Wine, soft drinks and a selection of cookery books will be on sale. Tickets are £7.50 and available at the Bookshop and the Arts Centre.

Get some Exercise

Then on the Thursday 29th May cycle with us on our next ride leaving 7pm from the Town Square for Thorverton Arms.

Recycle Plastic

And finally on the Saturday 31st May we have our regular two-monthly Plastics Collection at Peck and Strong, Lords Meadow Industrial Estate from 10am to 12:30pm.
