Minutes of Enfield Fairtrade Campaign Steering Group

Wednesday August 12, 3pm, by zoom

Present: Cllr Vicki Pite (VP), Bill Linton (BL), Ben Quashie (BQ), Nina Tweddle (NT), Rev Melanie Smith (MS)

Apologies: Chris Cole, Martin Hamblin

A Motion: To appoint Martin Hamblin as Treasurer was passed unanimously. He and VP will replace Rupert Price and NT as signatories on the account with the Co-Operative Bank.

A Motion: to affiliate to EnCAF (Enfield Climate Action Forum) was also passed unanimously.

MS has forged links with Enfield Stand Up to Racism. There is a demo on August 29th at Edmonton Green when we can probably arrange to speak.

VP is pursuing Fairtrade usage at the Civic Centre and other council-controlled outlets.

VP has made contact with Capel Manor, and MS with Christian Action Housing re being our flagship employer. Both sound promising.

NT will provide links to schools where she has spoken at assemblies in the past, with a view to continuing the connection once Covid worries are removed/reduced.

We should start planning events for the next Fairtrade Fortnight (and other times)

Next Meeting: Monday September 14th at 6.30, by zoom
