Focus on Fair Trade Q Billericay – A Fairtrade Town Supported by the Billericay District Residents’ Association and the Town Council, in 2008 Billericay was declared a Fairtrade Town. In 2009, the town's Fairtrade credentials were given a clean bill of health and our Fairtrade Town status was renewed until 2011. If you would like to get involved locally by taking part in events, or by making your workplace or school Fairtrade, please contact Maralyn Buchanan on 01277 656715, or email her on fairtrade@bdra.org What does Fairtrade mean The FAIRTRADE Mark is an independent consumer label which appears on products as an independent guarantee that disadvantaged producers in the developing world are getting a better deal. Producer organisations that supply Fairtrade products receive a minimum price that covers the cost of sustainable production and an extra premium that is invested in social or economic development projects. What does it mean to be a Fairtrade town A town must achieve five goals to be awarded Fairtrade town status: (1) The town council serves Fairtrade tea and coffee at its meetings and in its offices (2) A range of Fairtrade products is available in the local shops, cafes and catering establishments (3) Fairtrade products are used by a number of local work places and community organisations (4) The campaign has media coverage and popular support in the town (5) A local Fairtrade steering group is established Billericay has many places where you can buy Fairtrade – this is the list (as we know it) at August 2009 Catering Outlets Café in the Park Greggs, High Street Inn on the Green, Mountnessing Road La Toscana, High Street The Chequers, High Street Costa Coffee, High Street Raven’s Bakery, High Street Retail Outlets Always Flowers, The Pantiles, Queens Park Barleylands Farmers Market Co-op, Stock Road Holland and Barrett, High Street Nature’s Table, The Walk Oxfam, High Street The Emporium, High Street Somerfield, Queens Park Somerfield, High Street Waitrose, High Street Cllr Peter Bowditch presents the prize to one of the winners of the ‘design a Fairtrade bag’ competition which took place in March 2009. 10 Billericay Town Guide
Focus on Clubs & Societies Q Billericay ATC My Life in the ATC When I joined the Air Cadets at the age of 13, I couldn’t believe the huge variety of activities that I could participate in. I thought that it was only the lucky few that got to go flying or gliding, but it was only a matter of weeks before we were given the opportunity to do these things and many, equally exciting activities. When I first joined, I was taught a basic syllabus involving uniform, drill and life in both the RAF/ATC. Once I had learnt these foundations, I received my uniform, and I was then a fully fledged Air Cadet. My first major event that I participated in was Southend Airshow ’08. This was a great experience despite the weather, and the most recent one (2009) was even better. Almost all, if not everyone, within the squadron got the chance to fly in a Royal Navy Lynx, which was one of the greatest feelings so far in the ATC. Other in-the-air activities include flying a Grob Tutor and a Viking Glider, both of which the cadet gets to control for some time during the flight. However, most events take place on the ground; these include assistance at Stock Fête, Billericay Firework Night, Remembrance Sunday and many others. The Three Peaks Expedition in Yorkshire was a brilliant walking trip, and the Dining In event in January is always a night to look forward to. However, none of these things would be as exciting as they are without the other cadets, all of whom play a part within the squadron to make it as it is. Considering the immense activities, lessons of life, and most importantly, the great laugh that we all have doing them, I truly recommend that any 13- 19 year old that wants to do something unique and adventurous should join the ATC. We recruit twice a year, usually September and March. Please telephone 01277652794 on a Tuesday or Thursday evening between 7pm and 9.45 pm Cdt James Longman Cdt James Longman preparing for a flight in a winch launched glider Billericay Archaeology & Historical Society The society was founded in 1964 as an archaeological society by those who were interested in archaeology and wanted to take part in digs in Billericay. This was very successful as several sites were excavated in and around the town. A great deal of work was achieved by members after the digs were completed, in research, sorting and identifying pottery and tiles. Items were sent to the Essex Record Office for verification and storage. In 1970 the name was changed to embrace the wider interest of the members. For safety and financial reasons we are no longer able to take part in digs but we are still interested in other sites especially those in Colchester. Our activities include research and reports on finds discovered in the Billericay area. We try to pursue our mutual interest in history, historical figures and places of historical interest. We hope to do this by our meetings which include talks on some facet of archaeology or history, particularly places, events and people in Essex. Also we keep up to date with meetings and events taking place in the county. At various Billericay Town Guide 11
