Fair Trade – Fair Play Football Tournament

Links Park, Montrose

Thursday 3^rd March 10am to 12noon

Angus Active Schools are hosting a Fair Trade – Fair Play football tournament at Links Park, Montrose, on Thursday the 3^rd March from 10am to 12noon. Primary schools from across Angus have been invited to enter a boy’s and a girl’s team from P5 to P7 pupils.

The tournament is aimed at promoting the fair trade message and highlighting the use of fair trade products. This is achieved by educating the pupils on fair trade while they attend the tournament, linking in the work already taking place at school. We have been extremely lucky in gaining sponsorship from Scotmid for this event for the 4^th year running. They will be providing a Fair Trade banana and juice for every participant at the festival. We will also be using fair trade footballs for all the matches.

To ensure the fair trade message is enhanced we put the emphasis on fair play at the tournament. Scores will not be taken but the referees will be monitoring every match to look for the best fair play acts. At the end of the tournament fair trade footballs will be presented to individuals and teams who excelled in their fair play attitude.

We would be delighted if anyone wishes to come along and support this event. If you wish to be involved in promoting your fair trade message then please contact Jamie McLaren on the contact details at the bottom of the page.

Many Thanks
