Fairtrade Australia has launched the Checkout Fairtrade campaign. The campaign aims to raise awareness of the range of Fairtrade products available in Australian supermarkets and to encourage supporters to ask their local supermarket or retailer to stock more Fairtrade friendly products. Fairtrade Australia seeks support from our cathedral community to promote the campaign and encourages us to fill out a postcard or a form online listing the number of Fairtrade labelled coffee, tea, chocolate and nut products they can find in their local supermarket. All entries will be in the running to win prizes if they answer a question on how they think Australian supermarkets can become more Fairtrade friendly. The campaign runs until Sunday 10 October. Contact Rosemary Barnard (4929 4001) for details. www.checkoutfairtrade.org.au Postcards are available at the back of the Cathedral.

Lectionaries for 2011 are $11.00 – essential for all who are on the reading roster and anyone saying the daily offices at home. Day by Day readings for Nov-Jan are $4.50. The Cathedral Shop is in desperate need of volunteers for Sundays in particular. If you can help please contact Di Davies or leave your name and details at the Shop.

Father Mark is preparing candidates for baptism and confirmation by Bishop Brian on Saturday 6 November. If you would like to be baptised, or have been baptised and would like to be confirmed, then please contact Father Mark to arrange preparation. If you have already been baptised and confirmed in another church, and would like to be received into the Anglican Church, this will also be possible.

The next meeting will be held on Tuesday 28 September commencing after the 7pm eucharist. Following a brief business meeting Mrs Wendy Miles, daughter of Sir Wilmot Hudson Fysh, will speak on Sir Hudson Fysh and the Birth of QANTAS. Everyone is welcome. Contact Pam Dowdell 4951 3144 or Chris Grice 4946 0337.
