 to

Crediton EX17 2DL GoogleMap

 

Notes from meeting on Jun 10th

 

1) Apologies

Carolyn

 

2) Matters arising from last meeting

a) Plans for Give or Take event in October.

Budget: £250 for advertising in Courier and leaflets. 

Action: Charles to ask core group to loan us £100, to be repaid from donations from the event.

 

3) Lessons learnt from Reuse event at Farmers Market in May

Mid month farmers markets are not as popular as markets at the beginning of the month.

It should have been made clear at the outset what the rules were with regards to what should be on the stall (plants could not be sold or given for donations as they were seen as competing against another stall holder).

Other Sustainable Crediton groups could use the Farmers Market in the future (for free). Also we could use it to advertise Give or Take event.

Action: Esther to inform other Sustainable Crediton groups about using the Farmers Market.
