A GROUP of around 20 people were in the Triangle at Bude on Saturday, handing out information, petitioning and talking to people to raise awareness of the trade deal TTIP — Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership.

There was an enjoyable atmosphere with support from local band Howling Herman and the Dwellers as well as circus performers.

The event was organised as part of a national day of action, with around 8,000 people taking part around the country.
