CAMBRIDGESHIRE SELF SUFFICIENCY GROUP
About Us
The CSSG Year
Cambridgeshire Self Sufficiency Group meets on the first Thursday of every month. During the winter months we usually meet at the King Edward Community Centre in Chatteris.
We try to have a varied programme of speakers covering topics from beer making to bee keeping and the history of allotments to basket making. Ideas for speakers are always welcome!
In the Summer months we go out and about and visit members homes and gardens or other venues of interest.
We try and hold workshops during the year, this could be about hedgelaying, basket making, sausage making or even Fungi hunting!
Other Events
We try to visit various local shows and open days to promote our group and our aims.
Once a year we hold a 'Potato Day' this is open to everyone, and you are able to purchase seed potatoes at a very reasonable price (far cheaper than in the shops!). We aim to have a range of over 40 varieties from the more popular types to some of the more unusual.
The Newsletter is produced every month with articles and pictures contributed by members and the editor Anne Billings-Smith the Editor always welcomes items for inclusion, you can contact her at cssgnews@gmail.com and you can read some past newsletters on our website by clicking HERE!
