After all the Fair Trade Comments on the post about the Abbey Fish Ponds here is a post about Fair Trade …

The Chamber of Commerce’s Fair Trade group met at lunchtime to discuss re-establishing Abingdon as a Fair Trade town. There were representatives from shops, including Waitrose and The Co-op, the town council, churches, schools and general consumers.

As well as planning a Fair Trade day on the Market Place on 20th August – where there are still pitches available for businesses who would like to take part (contact the Chamber), the group set up a steering committee.

On 20th August, I will be going bananas for FairTrade again. But this time I hope to be part of a bunch. Banana costumes cost from £8 and upwards on the internet.
