Please come to St Sidwells Community Centre on 21 June to get involved with Rabble. This is a new free local magazine for Exeter parents; I hope to make a group to write blogs and articles and form friendships.
You are welcome if you would just enjoy a topical chat and cup of tea, contribute or help other people to write. Think of it as a mothers' meeting with attitude and a chance to see your writing and pictures in print.
If you would like your logo on our publicity items please get in touch, we welcome sponsors from businesses.
We have spaces available for your logo on our t-shirts, banners, pullup displays and much more. Not only does it give you fantastic publicity, it doesn't cost a lot and it will really help your local prostate cancer charity to spread awareness.
To enquire about costs just email us in the office chestnut.appeal@nhs.net and we'll get back to you.
Mid Devon's Crediton Courier , owned by Tindle Newspapers, will be printed weekly from 3 May 2013!

The success of the Courier can be placed firmly with not only the loyal advertisers but loyal readership who continue to buy their favourite community newspaper on a regular basis.
