Sustainable Crediton Newsletter Issue 91
Welcome to our March Newsletter.
It was brilliant to see such a busy, vibrant and interesting
Seed Share event in its new venue The Boniface Centre on the 24th
February. We think it was our best Seed Share ever, with more
stalls and a record attendance. The atmosphere was tremendous, the
food at the Surplus Food Cafe delicious and the overall event a
massive success. Read more about it and see the
pictures.
Coming up this month we have the regular Woodland Group work
parties and a Waste Action Group meeting. See What's On for more
details. There is also an exhibition in Crediton Library for Re-use
Week from the 5th March about our Refill stations in Crediton where
you can get free refills for your water bottle.
