Big Swap Competition

The theme of the Fairtrade Fortnight is “The Big Swap” and we are being challenged to swap our usual products for Fairtrade ones. In keeping with this theme there has been a competition running asking people to identify as many swaps as they could possibly make in one day.

There were three different age groups to enter in and Fairtrade goodies to be won from Divine and Traidcraft.

The winners will have their prizes presented to them by Paul Chandler on the 25th and a list of winners will appear in the March Bridge.

The competition is now closed - winners names soon
