Fairtrade Fortnight
SIM Members – Fairtrade Fortnight (L-R: Geraldine, Pres. Kathy, Kath, Margaret, Alwyn, Shirley, Carol and Annabel)

Our member Annabel Young brought campaign postcards which are to be sent to the Prime Minister via The Fairtrade Foundation. Middlesbrough’s plans were outlined, in particular, a walk from Stockton High Street to the Tees Barrage and then on to the Cycle Centre in Middlesbrough Bus Station where a photoshoot will be held with the Mayor and Councillor Rostron between 1:15 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. We are invited to participate in the walk, or a section of it, and also attend for the photoshoot.
