SIR - As our energy bills rise, there’s been a big increase in the number of people installing renewables in the South West.

To find out why, and what’s in it for you, come along to Sidmouth College this Saturday, March 19, to the ‘Earth, Wind ...and Sun’ event. It’s a drop-in information day, from 10.30-3pm, with guest speakers (at 11 am and again at 2pm) and exhibitors, and refreshments by the Local Food Group.

An eco-quiz and kiddie’s corner will keep youngsters busy while their parents browse. This is another free event by the Sid Valley Energy Action Group (www.visionforsidmouth.org) , but donations are welcome to cover costs. Tel 516655 or 578689 for further information - or look for the posters around the town!
