Fairtrade Way Walk

Phil Broadhurst, Ammanford fairtrade group member, led The Swansea Bay Fairtrade Way Walk, on Saturday 3 March to raise awareness for fairtrade products.

The walk started at the Oxfam book shop in Swansea and ended with lunch at the Red Cafe in Mumbles.  

Phil was joined by around 20 other walkers. The walk is part of the network of Fairtrade Way walks organsied around Wales and was inspired by the first Fairtrade Way which is a long-distance footpath designed as a 6-day walk between Garstang (The World’s first Fairtrade Town) and Keswick (A very active Fairtrade Town).

As part of fairtrade fortnight Ammanford's Giant fairtrade Banana Split was once again an outstanding success. This is the 4th year in a row we have held our banana split in Ammanford's Arcade. A large crowd came to join us in the celebration. At 5.30 Children from the local chapels and youth clubs came to help build the banana split.

 

 They helped cut the bananas, lay them out , add the ice cream, squirty cream and chocolate sauce before giving everyone a spoon.  The finished banana split was almost  80 feet (25 metres) in length.

 

Then Sam, the organiser, from Ammanford's Evangelical Church, counted down from 10 and we all tucked in. The work of art was devoured in a few minutes and once again it was a great event where the town could socialise and celebrate fairtrade fortnight.

 

Banana Sblit enfawr

Unwaith eto am y 4ydd flwyddyn yn olynnol roedd ein Banana Sblit Masanch Deg yn lwyddiant Ysgubol.
Daeth tyrfa fawr i'r Arcade yn Rhydaman ar Nos Wener 2 Mawrth i ymuno yn ein dathlu.

Fel y gwelwch roedd un eleni yn 80 troedfedd (25 metr) o dop yr arcade i'r gwaelod. Cafodd hwn i gyd ei orchuddio gyda bananas masnach deg, hufen ia, hufen a saws siocled ac yna ei fwyta mewn tua 10 munud!!
