They say that variety is the spice of life and my involvement with the Chamber of Commerce certainly provides variety in bucket loads.

Last week we had a networking event that attracted over 90 guests, yesterday we did a live broadcast on the web from the Chamber offices and 80 viewers tuned in, and today I was involved with hosting the launch of "The Fair Trade Store".

A new Chamber member is Paul Wolfenden and "The Fair Trade Store" is a website business that he will be opening for trading at the end of February.

The range of products he showed was really interesting it included tea, coffee, biscuits and the most delicious chocolates I have tasted for a long time. Also in his wide range are some very lovely pieces of jewellery and handcrafted gifts.

I recommend that you have a look at his website soon at www.thefairtradestore.co.uk.
