Important Meeting About The Fairtrade Bike Ride : Wednesday 6th October, 7pm,

A 500 mile Fairtrade Bike Ride is being organised to celebrate the announcement of the 500th Fairtrade Town in the UK... and it is coming to South Wales on Sunday 31st October and Monday November 1st.

The ride starts from Aberfeldy in the Scottish Highlands, the first Fairtrade Town in Scotland, before passing through Garstang, England's (and the world's) first Fairtrade Town, on the way to Ammanford, the first Fairtrade Town in Wales.

Riders will arrive in Hay on Saturday 30th October, before heading off to Ammanford on Sunday 31st October, and then on Monday 1st November a group of local riders will complete the final stretch of the ride to Cardiff, the first Fairtrade Capital City in the world.

The route for the final stretch is being finalised now, but it is expected that the riders will follow cycle routes through Llanelli and Swansea, joining up with fairtrade campaigners and cyclists along the way, and on through the Vale of Glamorgan, into Cardiff in time for a live link-up with campaigners from the 500th town, which will be announced on the day.

Anybody interested in cycling all or part of the route, or anyone who would like to get involved with events at any part of the route, are asked to get in touch with Phil Broadhurst of Ammanford Fairtrade Group on 01269 596933 or riversidepicnic@yahoo.co.uk and/or come along to the next meeting of Carmarthenshire Fairtrade Group at i-smooth in College Street, Ammanford (opposite the bus station) on Wednesday 6th October at 7pm..

More details about the ride can be found at http://www.fairtrade.org.uk/get_involved/news_events_and_urgent_actions/500_miles_for_500_towns_bike_ride.aspx

Following on from other events in Ammanford such as the schools' fairtrade banana relay race, the giant banana splits and the Fairtrade film shows in the solar powered cinemas, this bike ride is sure to go down in Ammanford's proud history of great events highlighting the community's support for Fairtrade.

Please get involved!

Please pass this message on to anyone you think might be interested!

Thanks,

Phil
