WORLD FAIR TRADE DAY

Hi Ammanford Fairtrade supporters,
Saturday 14th May is World Fair Trade Day. The main event in the UK will be the hanging of the fairtrade cotton bunting in Battersea Park.
Thanks to everyone in Ammanford who got involved with decorating the pieces of bunting. Over 130,000 flags were collected from around the UK.
The attached photo shows me and some of the Ammanford flags (look carefully for yours!) at the Fairtrade Foundation's office. (I took them up when I was attending a meeting of the Foundation's Campaigners' Advisory Group, of which I'm a member.)
Below is a message from Adam Gardner, Campaigns Officer of the Fairtrade Foundation,  and a link to a special film being launched on World Fair Trade Day.
Remember to let us know of any Fairtrade events you are holding - So we can help publicise them or just to include in our next application for Fairtrade Town status.

We'll be having a picnic in the park from 12 until 2pm in the park, and would love you to join us if you can. Check out the details here.
