University of Bristol Fair Trade Society

The Fairtrade Society works closely with the union to promote fair trade and related products within the university. We also enjoy strong ties with the Bristol Fairtrade city network. As a society we organise a variety of events throughout the year including film nights, food and wine tasting and acclaimed speaker evenings – to name a few goings on! On occasions we also collaborate with other campaigning societies to raise the profile of Fairtrade and organise bigger and better events. The highlight of our calendar is Fairtrade Fortnight, which is also our busiest time of year, with a variety of promotional activities happening in and around the university vicinity.

Pancake FEST

Posted by Amelia Parsons, Monday 15th February 2010 @ 8:09am

It's come round to this special time of year again when we all start heading to the kichen to flip pancakes. We are having a pancake fest this **Wednesday** at **7pm** at my house (near the watershed)

The Fairtrade Society couldn't possibly let this go by without a little bit of a celebration, particularly as there are so many amazing Fairtrade fillings ......lemon, sugar, jam, chocolate spread, bananas......

We are going to run it like a bring and share event so if you would like to come please e-mail me (ap7522@bris.ac.uk) with what you think you will bring and I'll give you better instructions on how to find me.
