Very many thanks to everyone who helped out in any way at last weekend's One World Fair. From the people doing sterling work in the cafe and kitchen, to those on our campaigning and book selling stall, and everyone who placarded, cooked, advertised, or helped in any other way, you were all part of its success. Particular thanks must go to Tim and Jan, Ally and Martin, and all their friends and relations (and others) who worked so hard behind the scenes and in the run-up to the event.
Oxford Student Oxfam Group member Chris Garrard took some great photos of the event and made a short video - if you can get on Facebook, have a look at them here:

Our stall was graced by this rather colourful 7-foot high cardboard cut-out "Food Superhero". We spoke to quite a lot of people about Oxfam's GROW campaign, and asked childern to colour in their own superhero pictures - lots of fun. Thanks to Joella, Caroline and Charlotte for making our Superhero, named Felicity by a young visitor to our stall!
Total takings from the Fair were a very creditable £918.05. This included the sale of food, books from our stall, money from the door, and taking account of the cost of hiring the hall and profits from stalls.
