I think it's something only Rick could answer, being the chair of the 
Exwick Community Centre.  They certainly managed to get funding from the 
Gemini FM Charitable Trust, but apart from that I haven't got a clue. 
I'm not sure if the fact it's covering Exwick and Exeter would be an 
issue or not?

I know someone who might be able to help on that one.
If you can get the content to be 'included' on the flyer I can get Becki perhaps to create something nice for you FOC (I've already given her the heads up). We are also able to get things printed at cost price, so let me know what you want to do, and I'll see what I can do.

Hmmm... not sure if we'd have to register somehow as a non-profit 
organisation.
