Get involved - loads of great events coming up
 Just been looking at our rather wonderful What's On events diary, and realised there are LOADS of really cool events coming up all over the country. In just the next couple of weeks, there are so many ways you could support Oxfam, or other charities in your area. First up, there's the Make Trade Fair roadshow which is currently in Leeds, but travels on to London, Birmingham, Cardiff and Bristol in November. It aims to build support and collect signatures ahead of the WTO meeting in December.
There are tonnes of other Make Trade Fair events coming up too, starting with the Trade Justice Rally in Bristol on Thursday 27 October, including speakers from Nestlé, Oxfam and the TUC. The biggie for us is the Mass Lobby for Trade Justice in London on Wednesday 2 November. There should be 10,000s of people coming to Westminster to put pressure on their MP to call for trade justice ahead of the WTO meeting. We'll be there stewarding and helping out. Can't wait.
As well as all the Make Trade Fair activity, there are loads of one-off events up and down the country, including the Fairtrade University Conference in Bristol (where you can learn how to make your university or college go Fairtrade), the Community Service Volunteers Make a Difference Day (a chance for you to help out in your local community) and the Shared Planet Conference 2005 (huge student event on poverty, the environment and human rights).
Blimey, so much going on! And this really isn't the half of it. Get more info on all the events coming up on What's On, and sign up to e-Xtra for regular updates. Oh, and if you've got an event you'd like us to publicise, just e-mail us at generationwhy@oxfam.org.uk.
