TAVISTOCK?S Fairtrade Initiative is this week celebrating, after learning the town has just been registered as a Fairtrade town. The news, released by the Fairtrade Foundation, coincides with the national Fairtrade Fortnight and a special event being held in the parish church centre on Saturday, March 11. Geri Laithwaite, co-ordinator of the Tavistock Fairtrade Inititiave, said she was delighted at the news: ?Our next project in Tavistock will be to compile a directory of Fairtrade products available in the town and to encourage more cafés, restaurants and B&Bs to offer Fairtrade products to their customers. ?Fairtrade isn?t just about tea and coffee any more ? we have lists from the local supermarkets, which include sugar, honey, jam, wine, baby food, orange juice, rice and roses ? even Marks and Spencer are just about to announce their new range of cotton T-shirts made with Fairtrade cotton from India.? At the Fairtrade Fair next Saturday, Traidcraft, Oxfam and other ethically-trading organisations will be selling a wide variety of goods, including food, clothes, toys, crafts, jewellery and footballs from Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Mauritius, Peru, Sri Lanka, the Gambia, Uganda and the UK. The fair is free and open to all ? during the evening there will be a fundraising gig featuring local performers Mike Huber and Hannah and the Madding Crowd. Doors open at 7.30pm and tickets are available on the night, priced £4. Catering will be provided at the fair and at the Gig by Tavistock?s Food Dreckly, who use Fairtrade and locally sourced foods. Tavistock Fairtrade Town Initiative is supported by Westden?s Communities in Action, Tavistock Area Christians Together, the chamber of commerce, Tavistock College, Tavistock Farmers? Market, Tavistock Town Council, the youth café and Oxfam Campaign Support Group.
