Elections were held at the end of the academic year 2012 and the following 4 positions were filled:
Jula Humphries – Chair
Fangjia He – Seceretary
Aditya Narayanan – Publicity Officer
Marc Young – Web OfficerFairtrade Fortnight 2012 – Success!
Its a little late but fairtrade fortnight 2012 is over and I need to tell you about what happened!
so we had big plans over the 10 days, first up was the pub quiz. unfortunately due to a booking error, although we had organized to use the union, the RCSU had also organized a pub quiz for the same night. Thankfully, they were very accommodating and incorporated a Fairtrade round into their own plans to help promote Fairtrade Fortnight. Although some did not know the answers, everybody gave a good stab at it and we found some pleasantly surprising knowledge in the process. prizes were given out at the end for the Fairtrade round which consisted of a box of Fairtrade fudge, a bottle of Fairtrade wine and a Fairtrade Bannana!
