06/03/2008 10:30:00
A daytime event in Victoria Square, Birmingham, on Thursday 6th March, will enable passers by and shoppers to sample for free some of the delicious fair trade food products now available in shops around the city. There will also be live music, games, fair trade market stalls and a fair trade bus. Alastair Gibson, Chair of Fairtrade Association of Birmingham, says: "Across Birmingham there is a huge variety of fair-trade products available in shops and cafes but many people have yet to try them - we urge people to come to Victoria Square on 6th March to see what's on offer and to find out how fair-trade makes a difference."
This event is one of a series of thrilling nation-wide events organised by the Fairtrade Foundation. During Fairtrade fortnight the fairtrade bus will travel across the country, stopping in 8 cities including London, Cardiff and Glasgow to raise awareness of fair trade. For more details about this exciting event, please phone Lorraine Cookson on 0121 303 5449.
The University College of Birmingham (formerly the Birmingham College of Food, Tourism and Creative Studies) is running an exciting Fairtrade recipe competition. The recipes will feature a Fairtrade product as the main ingredient or flavouring, or as many Fairtrade products as possible. Once all the entries have been submitted, they will be judged by the executive chef of the Radisson hotel with the best entries being made up for tasting at the Victoria Square event on Thursday 6th March. Two of the people tasting the winning recipe will be the Birmingham Mail's food critic and a banana producer from the Winward Islands. Some of the most delicious entries will be published in the next issue of the FAB newsletter for you to try out at home! Staff at the University will also be baking a Fairtrade themed cake for the Victoria Square event with ingredients kindly donated by the Co-op.
