Pick Fairtrade
Fairtrade Pickering’s Annual General meeting, at the Memorial Hall, was well attended . The annual report listed the many achievements of the group during the past year, including the successful One World Week event which will be repeated again this year.
Guest speakers were Fairtrade Yorkshire Coordinator, Mark Dawson, and Janice Gwilliam of Fairtrade Malton and Norton. There were plenty of questions for the duo and the lively evening was rounded with Fairtrade refreshments and delicious cakes.
Mark Dawson stated; “it is great to see so much Fairtrade activity going on in Pickering. It is important that we have a strong presence in our market towns and Fairtrade Pickering is a fine example of a friendly, active group that promotes our cause so effectively in a rural community.”
