AMMANFORD FAIRTRADE BANANA SPLIT

A large number of supporters of Fairtrade gathered at Ammanford’s Arcade on Friday 11 March to take part in what is now an annual event – the Giant Fairtrade Banana Split. This is the third time we have held the event during Fairtrade Fornight and this years was even better than last year.

To start we had to lay out the tables along the arcade , then put the guttering on top. After lining the guttering with aluminium foil we were ready to put on the bananas. This was done by members of Ammanford’s local chapels and Christian Youth Groups.

Once the ice cream, cream and chocolate sauce had been added everyone was given a spoon and after Paul Griffiths announced that the banana split was ready for eating everyone tucked in!

There was also a stall selling Red Nose merchandise in aid of Comic Relief which is held next Friday 18th March.

BANANA SPLIT MASNACH DEG

Nos Wener 11 Mawrth, 2011 daeth criw da i'r Arcade i gymryd rhan yn y Banana Split Masnach Deg  enfawr. Dyma'r trydydd blwyddyn i ni gynnal y banana split ac reodd eleni yn well nag un y llynedd.

I ddechrau roedd angen gosod y byrddau ar hyd yr arcade, yna y cafnau. Roed angen leinio'r cafn gyda ffoil aliminiwm.

Wedi hyn daeth pobl ifanc y capeli a clybiau ieuenctid cristnogol y dref i dorri'r bananas a'u gosod ar hyd y cafn. Y peth nesaf i wneud oedd rhoi'r hufen ia, hufen a saws siocled ar y banana split.

Erbyn 6.15 roedd popeth yn barod i'w fwyta. Cafodd pawb lwy ac ar ol i Paul Griffiths ddweud ewch dechreuodd pawb i fwyta.

Yn ogystal roedd stondin yn gwerthu nwyddau ar gyfer diwrnod Y Trwynau Coch sydd i'w gynnal nos Wenere nesaf.

BIKE RIDE VIDEO AND FAIRTRADE FORTNIGHT

Hi Everyone, and Happy Fairtrade Fortnight!
Here's a link for a new short film made about the Fairtrade Fun Day at Amman Valley School and the 500 mile Fairtrade Bike Ride which came through Ammanford last year. Anyone who would like a DVD version to show anywhere, please let me know.

Also : Lots of schools and groups have been unable to get any fairtrade cotton bunting as the demand has been so great that the fairtrade foundation ran out of stock (over 40 miles of bunting!). I have one pack which I am dividing up among local groups who want to get involved in the world record attempt for the longest strip of bunting ever. If anyone wants a piece, let me know.

Feel free to pass this message on to anyone you think might be interested.

Thanks!
