Celebrate... good times....

Last Thursday, members of the Llanelli Fairtrade Group took over The Colliers in Pwll (who sell lovely Fairtrade wine btw) to celebrate our second birthday... which also coincided with our Vice-Chair, Cllr Winston Lemon's birthday! A double celebration... whoohoo!

Lots of our members came to have a chat about Fairtrade issues, and discuss the Group's plans for Fairtrade Fortnight (keep tuned)... Winston's lovely wife and friends provided plenty of authentic Thai Fairtrade Banana Cake, and Keith, the pub's owner, allowed us use of the kitchen so we could welcome our members with lots of lovely Fairtrade Tea and Coffee! We raised a wonderful £25 from the raffle, which had a surprise celebrity Draw-er, Llanelli RFC and Scarlets Back Row, Rob McCusker!

Everyone had such a good time catching-up with one another and brainstorming that the Group are considering making such Nights a more regular feature, possibly alternating informal social events with our more formal, business-style meetings.... There'll be more discussion in this in the near future so please let us know what you think; in fact, we'd love to know if you have thoughts on events you'd like to see the Group host... Email us at fairtradellanelli@gmail.com, we want to hear from you! :)
