Making more of Creekmoor
July 2004 Newsletter (web version)
We need your help !
The CCA is non-political, run by volunteers, we meet every 2 months and we need all the help we can get. If you can spare any time, however small, or have a skill we can use, please get in touch.
We need a bookings secretary. This does not have to be full-time but can be shared so please let us know if you can assist.
Even if you could assist in delivering the next Newsletter to your road, it would be very useful as there are over 2000 homes in Creekmoor. You will be under no obligation to do any more than what you want to give but many hands make light work and its generally good fun !
If you would like to join the CCA, the rates are very reasonable and you would be very welcome.
Please ring 387473 if you are interested or contact any of the CCA committee on www.creekmoor.org.uk
The next CCA meeting is Monday 19 July, 7:30, at the EPD, Northmead Drive, All welcome.
CCA/CCG Merger
The Creekmoor Community Association and Creekmoor Community Group have merger to become the Creekmoor Community Association (CCA).

Please assist in any way you can !
