Greenpeace Exeter Group invited local MP Ben Bradshaw and residents to a photographic exhibition last Saturday to show the threats our oceans are facing.
Local volunteer Claus from Heavitree said ‘We’ve put on this exhibition ahead of the final UN negotiations in March on a Global Ocean Treaty to show the risks that iconic wildlife such as penguins face from overfishing, melting ice and plastic pollution. It’s vital that we protect at least 30% of our oceans by 2030.’
Our oceans are the biggest carbon sink on earth and therefore they are our best ally in the fight against...
Curated by Nick Hand and The Letterpress Collective, this exhibition brings together photography, film, letterpress prints, and the words of makers who dedicate their life to an unusual or rare craft or passion. Nick gathered these stories on epic cycle rides: from Land’s End to John O’ Groats, round the coast of Britain and Ireland and up the Hudson River - with a printing press on the back of his bike.

December is a month of frivolous spending and merriment . For many, the Christmas period is a time to let their hair down and relax after a busy and difficult year of working hard. But a month of enjoying rich foods and drinks, socialising with friends and loved ones, and buying gifts can really add up.
For many, this is why January can feel like the longest month of the year, as they try to make their pay stretch until February while still paying for the December festivities. Of course, it is important to save money year round, but this is this reason why many need to practice...
Exeter City moved level on points with Swindon Town at the top of the Sky Bet League Two table with a 1-0 victory over Grimsby Town.

Once upon a time, bingo was the talk of the town. In fact, the game of numbered balls, full houses and little ducks was a national favourite. Around for more than 100 years but hitting its peak between the 1960s and 1980s, bingo was a game for the masses. Made popular by New York toy salesman Edwin S. Lowe , it offered regular people a chance to play for prizes without spending a fortune. Add to that the social aspect of the game (when the caller isn’t talking, obviously) and bingo became part of the UK’s social fabric.
