  „Some of the highlights of the 6000 events around the UK are a traditional boat (gaff ketch) bringing a cargo of Fairtrade bananas from the Windward Islands to Southampton for distribution to everyone from the mayor to hospital patients; a Rich/Poor Banquet in Newcastle; a Mad Hatters Tea Party in Glasgow and Jack Ellis from ITV drama Bad Girls joining a Fairtrade Quiz at Chelmsford Cathedral. Around 40 cyclists will converge on Garstang in Lancashire – the world’s first Fairtrade Town - for a 10th Birthday Party. Universities - including Edinburgh, Nottingham, Swansea, and London School of Economics - will declare Fairtrade status during the Fortnight, joining Oxford Brookes and Birmingham which are already Fairtrade universities.“
