Café Noel – Saturday 24th November 2007

Café Noel is one of two Fairtrade coffee mornings held every year at St John’s Church in Woodbridge. The most recent, on Saturday 24th November 2007, was an excellent opportunity to find out more about Fairtrade in a relaxed and friendly café style environment. There were stalls selling goods from Traidcraft, Tearfund, and FairPlay Seed. Argentinean crafts, an environment stand and Christian book and music stalls we also there. Due to how popular they were previously, we (Fairtrade For Woodbridge) were selling official Fairtrade footballs and rugby balls at cost price on our own stand. Naturally, Fairtrade refreshments and homemade cakes were available to sit down with and enjoy.

Face painting was another popular attraction for the children (but not just the children!) and a toy corner was available for the little ones. A local band called Joshua’s Army also added to the atmosphere.

The morning was a real success, with a a comfortably full church throughout the morning. We would like to thank all who came and especially those who helped in so many different ways. Our next Fairtrade coffee morning at St John’s will be in May 2008. Please check back here in April for details.
