Kenilworth Goes Bananas!
On the morning of Saturday March 7th (10:30am – midday) in Abbey End Kenilworth Fairtrade Group will be encouraging shoppers to take part in the National “Go Bananas” attempt on the world record for the number of Fairtrade bananas eaten in one day. This event, which will be attended by Jeremy Wright MP and the Mayor of Kenilworth Cllr Spencer Harrison, will be the climax of Fairtrade Fortnight (23rd February – 8th March) and is part of a campaign to ensure that half of all bananas eaten by 2012 are Fairtrade bananas.During Fairtrade Fortnight residents of Kenilworth and visitors will also be invited to take part in a competition to win a free hamper of Fairtrade produce. Entrants to the competition will collect stamps from retail outlets in the town that supply Fairtrade produce to their customers and staff. These stamps can be collected on a card distributed through local schools and churches and in the local newspaper.
And on 1st March, there’ll be a Fairtrade football competition at Meadow Sports Astroturf in Leyes Lane (3:00 – 4:00pm) to which all young people in the town are invited to take part. Entry is free.
