Welcome to our latest newsletter
We have three major events for this month:

bit different ... As part of Climate Action Week, Ian Beech is
going to help us write a song! No musical knowledge required (but
much appreciated if you have it!) ... just come along and join
in!
- Give
& Take Week ... Our latest 'pop-up shop' is opening at
the Crediton Methodist Church. Tea, coffee & cakes will be
served all day so do come along - you may even find a bargain
Christmas present!
- The grand finale to the month is our one-off Repair
Shop - bring along that old broken toaster, radio or
sandwich maker and let our expert electricians fix it!
