Mayor’s Carol Concert 11/12/22

Large number of people attended. More drinks served before the service than after.

Good community event, linking us with events of Mayor, town and All Saints

Wycombe and Grecia/Coope Victoria Partnership

Sample roasts done of the 2kg of coffee beans sent from Costa Rica. Very good results

Aim to produce 75 bags of whole beans and 125 bags of ground coffee once the main consignment of beans has arrived

Liaising with Highcrest to arrange events for Fairtrade Fortnight, hope fully to involve the launch of the Partnership coffee and a visit from the Costa Rican ambassador.
