Fairtrade and History on Thursday

 It's Fairtrade Fortnight at the moment, and I was chatting with Chris on the Fairtrade stall on the market last Thursday.

This coming Thursday, there will be a coffee morning at Eighteen Rabbit from 10am to 1pm.  Their special guest is Jenipher, from Uganda, who has been organising farmers in Uganda (mostly women) to produce coffee which they now market under their own brand.  It's available at Eighteen Rabbit, and she will be talking about how they make it and offering samples.  The event is free, but donations of £1 minimum are requested.

Then in the evening, Cusop History Group is meeting at Cusop Village Hall.  Tony Usher is giving a talk on Roman Roads to Railways - how the transport networks shaped the fortunes of Herefordshire.  It starts at 7pm, and costs £3 for members, £5 for non-members, and includes wine.

[Edited to add: the Cusop History talk has been postponed due to snow]
