WA Fair Trade Christmas Market
Sunday, November 14, 2010
Go Fair for Christmas - Market Saturday 20th November- Mandurah
Saturday 20 November
from 11:00am to 4pm
Peel Bowling and Social Club
2 Coolibah Drive, Mandurah
(behind the aquatic centre)
With a fair trade gift, your Christmas gifts give in three ways. Your special person will be delighted with a beautiful and unusual gift, while you help assure an income for the artisan or craftworker who made your gift, and all profits from the day will support community development projects.
- Select from a wide range of crafts and foods from the Fair Trade WA Oxfam Group
- Buy a glorious floor rug from Cambodia from Carpets for Communities
- Support an orphanage in Uganda and Ugandan craftswomen.
- Beautiful paintings by the Winjan artists
- Buy beautiful art work from Indonesia and support the artists and their families
- Buy donated or locally made items and support local charities
- For the person who needs no more stuff – buy a wonderful Oxfam Unwrapped gift
Games! Competitions! and a Christmas Raffle
Refreshments and snacks and Fairtrade teas and coffees will be served by the Peel Bowling and Social Club (a recognised charity).
Fairtrade is about fairness—not charity—and it offers Australians an opportunity to make a real
difference in people’s lives.

Fair Trade Collective Meeting for October 28th
Hi all,
A bit more concrete has come out of the latest fair trade collective meeting.
First, they have the new diaries for 2010. They are selling them for $12 wholesale, do we want to take any for the shop? This may be an item for the next meeting, or a decision for now. If we want some, let me know and I'll organise it.
On Thursday the 3rd, Daniel (who's last name I can't remember) from FTAANZ will be in Perth. He organises Fairtrade labelling in Australia, and is very knowledgeable about the process of certification. He is going to speak at a few events, so I think we should promote these when the details are finalised. They should be very interesting, I've seen him before and he is good.
On December 5 we have the East Fremantle Fair. I have spoken with the council and it's too late for us to get a stall this year, however the Councillor who organises the event is keen for us to get on board next year, particularly as we are a Not for Profit, promoting Fair Trade. We should put this event on our Calender.
Finally, there will be two FT collective stalls which will need volunteers on the 12th and 13th (at Oxford St and the Perth Cultural Markets respectively). We can have some of our information and merchandise on the stall, which will be shared with other Fairtrade groups, and when the details are finalised in the next couple of days we can ask for volunteers. Keep these dates free if you can though, because all of these events and stalls look likely to happen!
Cheers
Tim
