Sustainable Crediton Newsletter Issue 87
Welcome to November's newsletter. We have several events this
month, some in conjunction with our partners in Community Action
Groups Devon (CAG Devon). Our Hedgerow Group has commenced
coppicing near Morchard Bishop and has two work parties this month.
The Pig
Club restarts with an open meeting on the 13th November. The
Food and Waste Groups are combining to organise next year's seed share with a planning meeting on the 27th
November. Contact details can be found on the event pages. Everyone
is welcome to join in.
We've added to our event calendar a link to the Crediton
Community Bookshop, where you can pick up details of their current
events.
Finally good luck to Cheriton Fitzpaine Community Shop which has
just launched a community share offer to raise funds for a new
community shop in their village to replace the one that closed at
Christmas last year.
