Students and EEL Members,
Join us at Exeter Community Centre
on
25th October at 5pm

On September 18th we spent a great day talking to Exeter University students at a Freshers Week event. We set up our table and banner to show people the work of EEL. As a result over 30 people signed up for our newsletter.
To follow this up we will be running a social event in the Exeter Community Centre on 25th October.
Students, we look forward to meeting you again.
Members and friends of EEL, please come and share your stories and enthusiasm.
