WAFTAG launches in Witney!

As Witney turned on it's Christmas Lights on the evening of 1st December 2006, WAFTAG launched it's campaign to make Witney a Fair Trade town. A stall was held in Market Square (outside the Oxfam Shop), with lots of fair trade food goodies for people to taste. Cakes made with Fairtrade ingredients (bananas, sugar, raisins) by WAFTAG members, chocolate, peanuts, juice etc., were available for passers by to sample.

Our petition to make Witney a Fair Trade Town (addressed to the Witney Town Council) was launched and we got over 100 signatures - a good start. Below are some pictures from the evenings events.
