Simply Divine
Haxby chocolate tasters and the winner of the ‘guess the weight of the Fairtrade chocolate cake’ competition.
York Fair Trade Forum held a chocolate tasting at the Aroma Fairtrade Cafe in Haxby. Needless to say, it was very popular. Attendees at the event on 5th March enjoyed a wide variety of Divine Chocolate products. Completing tasting notes, the guests had to guess the flavours in the chocolate which ranged from toffee apple, to pear and ginger and even sea salt! If this were not enough, the Yorkies then enjoyed a vast array of Fairtrade cakes.
The Fairtrade Foundation film, Fairtrade Matters was shown. Following the lives of tea growers in Malawi, it reminded everyone of the difference that Fairtrade makes to the lives of producers and why its important to buy Fairtrade products and demand that our retailers sell them.
Armonia perform at the Fairtrade Fortnight event at York’s City Screen Basement Bar
York’s citizens also had a chance to see the film earlier on in Fairtrade Fortnight when an event of “Films, Facts and Fairtrade Fortnight Frivolities” was held at the Basement Bar at the City Screen Cinema. The Tour de Fairtrade Yorkshire film was also shown, between music from The Spectacles, Armonia and Penny and the Poppet and a quiz.
