brought along displays of the fairly traded goods they stock) raised £130 which we have sent
off to the Ft Foundation towards their Malawi flood appeal to help the farmers who have lost
so much in the recent devastating floods over there. The raffle was won by Mrs Callaghan.
Please carry on buying fairly traded goods throughout the year to ensure the growers get a
guaranteed & fair price for their produce. Thanks again.
