Dear fairtraders,

Tesco UK are in contact with me and will be advising me when we can do
a store tasting. Am also contacting Sainsbury's for the same.

Am still looking for traders contributors for the market.

Going to need a lot of volunteers too. i'll post the volunteer forms
onto the files section, obviously i'll need to know what times and
dates you can help me which will all go onto a master sheet.

i'd be grateful if Mike Penning could attend one or more of these
events. Last year i tried to arrange something with Marks and Spencers
but it didn't work out. Tesco's also wanted the MP to attend our store
tasting. Anyway the big fairtrade market is on the 11th March Saturday.

<<are there any dates free in your diary Mike? Could we meet and have
a chat sometime?>> i'll see about inviting the mayor as well.

Starbucks has opened recently next to Debenhams and is serving
fairtrade coffee on request. They also retail Fairtrade mark chocolate
and Coffee.

O'briens coffee bar are now serving Fairtrade Mark tea although i'm
not sure about the coffee.

You can now buy Divine chocolates in miniature size. Very handy for
tasting and stuff.

i'll let you know more about dates as soon as i have them.

(hope to get in touch with you Mike about forthcoming appearance)

Regards

Francois
