Fair Trade goodies go down a treat after Strathpeffer Fairtrade group held its annual Big Brew in the Victorian Station; people from across Ross-shire and the wider Highlands visited the stall

STRATHPEFFER Fairtrade Group served up some tasty Fair Trade chocolate and biscuits, as well as indulgent chocolate cake at the Victorian Station recently.

Halfway through Fair Trade Fortnight, the campaigners held their annual Big Brew in order to raise awareness for Fair Trade producers around the world, as well as raising funds to support them.

Visitors to the stall included people from Strathpeffer and the wider local area, other parts of Ross-shire, Glasgow and many parts of the Highlands.

Apart from free chocolate and biscuit tastings, there were three competitions with prizes including Fair Trade dolls from Sri Lanka and Easter eggs donated by Small Planet Trading.

Second-hand books and greetings cards were also on sale, and all proceedings are being donated to Traidcraft Exchange which supports Fair Trade producers in developing countries.

The Museum Cafe were serving Fair Trade tea and coffee and cake all day, including home-made chocolate cake using Fair Trade ingredients.

Strathpeffer Fairtrade Group would like to thank all those who came to support them, as well as Iona at the local Fairtrade shop and Karl & Carole Taylor from the Museum Café.
