This is Cottingley Primary School with yet more homemade bunting.
Its all part of 75 metres that’s been sent from Leeds to help the Fairtrade Foundation
break the Guinness World record for lengths of bunting.
We’ve got to beat two and a half miles! Can we do it? Watch this space!
On March 1st 2011 the pupils of Little London Primary school, Leeds joined the staff of Europe Direct at Leeds Central Library to get Fairtradetrade Fortnight off to a flying start. Using only fairtrade cotton they created 13.2 metres of bunting containing 72 flags. This was their contribution to The Fairtrade Foundation’s Guinness Book of Records Challenge. Well done Little London & are you watching Big London!?
The Fairtrade Foundation set the country a challenge: to break the world record for the longest continual piece of bunting to help tell more people about how Fairtrade cotton
protects the livelihoods of cotton farmers and to pressure decision-makers to make trade fairer for cotton farmers in West Africa.
Schools in Yorkshire have been working hard to help contribute to the world record attempt. Over 3000 bunting flags have been decorated by schools across Yorkshire.
Come and enoy an evening of fun with some ethical shopping. An opportunity for you to view/order the Spring/Summer range of Traidcraft and Bishopston Trading clothing as well as clothing from Neemacrafts at a series of fashion shows starting on Wednesday 30 March.

On Tuesday 8th March as part of the Fair Trade Fortnight Celebrations we will be holding our annual Fair Trade Fair which is taking place in the Parkinson Court from 11.00 am to 4.00 pm. We would like to take this opportunity of inviting everyone to come along and join in the fun and celebrations.
There will be a range of stalls selling all types of Fair Trade products from chocolate to jewellery to handicrafts and a range of other merchandise.
Fair Trade has thrown down a challenge this year to make the longest piece of bunting and break the world record. It would be great if the University could be part of this and help in breaking the record so come along and use your artistic flare by putting your own personal message on a piece of Fair Trade bunting as to why Fairtrade is important to you.
We look forward to seeing you on 8th March.
Traidcraft are a leading supplier of fair trade products throughout the UK.
