This just in from our friends at People & Planet, Edinburgh University:

We’re co-hosting a ‘People’s Fairtrade Tea Party’ to celebrate the end of our petition to get Her Majesty the Queen to drink Fairtrade tea.

So come along to the party, which will be at 5 pm, Monday 22 June on one of the patches of grass by Scottish Parliament, across from Holyrood Palace!

‘On Monday we will be holding the ‘People’s FAIRTRADE Tea party’, outside the Queen’s palace at Holyrood, a week before she has her own tea party.

In case you hadn’t heard about the campaign to get Her Majesty to drink FAIRTRADE tea, have a look here…

It’s a chance to do some basic FAIRTRADE awareness-raising and eat nice cakes.

We have already seen some success… 

THIS MONDAY the 22nd June at 5pm we will be meeting OUTSIDE HOLYROOD PALACE on the huge piece of flat grass the other side from the Scottish Parliament.

We will be having a proper PHOTOSHOOT to send out with our press release, as well as handing out leaflets, getting people to sign the petition, and just sitting in the sun drinking tea.

If you want to come along, bring…

1. Fancy dress. Think mad hatters tea party. Bright colours and big hats. But come in anything you want! It’s our tea party, not the Queen’s, so we can wear whatever we want!

2. A mug to drink tea from.

3. Cake! Some will be provided, courtesy of People & Planet Edinburgh University, but the more the better!

4. Also, if you’d like a seat, bring a chair!

So, if you’re in Edinburgh please come along.’
