An informal discussion on Fairtrade in both Garstang and Japan took place and a promise was made to keep in touch to exchange news.

Mrs Bruce said: “The trail could not have taken place without the co-operation of the Visit Garstang Centre, Garstang Library, and the businesses in Garstang who displayed

“Fairtrade posters and information sheets in their shop windows. The group appreciate their co-operation.”

Garstang became the world’s first Fairtrade town in February 2001 and the very first Fairtrade Town certificate was presented to Garstang in November2001.
