October Sustainable Crediton Events Reminder

We have two big events coming up over the next few days and our organisers would really appreciate your support. This week is One World Week and 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. There are also numerous other stalls where local, national and international injustices will be addressed. 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 and we will be seeking the public's opinion on whether we should concentrate on wind, solar, or anaerobic digestion for our project. There will be tea, coffee, cake and entertainment will be provided by Crediton's performance poet Ian Beech. This meeting will be of interest to people wishing to invest in a local renewable energy project and get a good return on their capital, local businesses who wish to have discounted electricity for the next 20 years, community groups who may benefit from a community fund produced by our project and anyone interested in helping make Crediton more resilient for the future by making some of its own electricity supply and hence be less reliant on the Big 6 energy companies and fossil fuel.

We hope you can come along and support us.
