Update from Leeds!

We're having problems adding pics to our blog at the moment, but I just wanted to say that Leeds is now in full swing. Our campaigners have told us that 1,000s of happy festival-goers arrived last night, and were crammed into our Oxfam tent in their 100s when the only other music stage open at the time had to close down! Hectic times, but our heroic team held their own. Our campaigners have just started their shift, and they'll be raising awareness about Make Trade Fair. One other update: Nick from our shops team on site in Leeds has done the first bank run from yesterday and reported a record for one day's trading at a festival - £12,000! Nice one!
