Ethical Fashion Show

[DG]

There is to be an Ethical Fashion Show held at Potterrow on Thursday night (24th March) starting at 7.30pm. It sounds really good and is part of the 'Make Poverty History' charity. There will be clothes on show made by people who have used recycled and unusual products and a designer bag competition. The organisers are looking for donated items for raffles.

For further information and ticket purchases contact ethicalfashionshow@yahoo.co.uk or there is further info on
www.edinburghp&p.org (but I'm not sure if this is the exact web address).

The fashion show is to be followed by an ethnic music evening starting around 10 to 11pm.

Oh, there will also be stalls and activities in the Potterrow courtyard (jugglers, etc). All for a very good cause...

Oh...and finally...meant to say - I believe the tickets are £7.

Make Poverty History are also asking people to contact their MPs asking them to write to Gordon brown and to sign an early day motion:

Right now, when governments give aid to Africa, it’s not a straightforward donation – it’s given with a lot of strings attached. And the problem is, most of those ‘strings’ just mean that the poorest people just get poorer. - We want that to change.

What we’d love you to do is ask your MP to write to Gordon Brown asking him to think again about this problem. It's one that he can help fix if enough people tell him to. Also we want MPs to sign our “Early Day Motionâ€Â

No apologies necessary, BB. It's all connected. I saw your name on the thread and remembered that there are going to be belly dancers performing on Thursday too.
