I received two canvas sample bags this morning, they seem very sterdy and shall bring them to the next HOL SG meeting on the 17th so you can cop a feel.
Brilliant Birdy. Great to raise awareness for the bags early on. Hopefully HoL will get some more feedback and support on the back of this article. Looking forward to "copping a feel" (uh-of the bags!) on 17th!
That would be really helpful fmw. I'll send you a friend request and I can then email you. I do have a few quotes from suppliers and printers so it would be could to compare. Many thanks.

It's surprising how much the Journal sources from this site. The guy who called me on this one is new, Ralph somneone. So they obviously get put on to us as a source pretty quick.

Birdy, well done and good thinking to promote them via the local rag. Love the quote; 'those damn blue bags'. Good to see someone else being quoted from HOL for a change!
Maybe Shef could be invited along to your next Sustainability mtg?
'those damn blue bags', I said that laughing down the phone, needs to be taken in context : )
Shef is involved in the loop now so hopefully he and other traders can come on board and have a say and most importantly support the drive for less carrier bags whilst encouraging people to use local shops and support local businesses whilst strengthening the Harringay brand.

My God Birdy! Now even you're using that 'brand' word. Have you lot been hypnotised by a secret force up on the hill? (ever read The Tommyknockers by Stephen King?)
There's no way Harringay is a 'brand' and it never will be. It's not an area that can be treated so simply. In fact to do so would be an insult.
I work in branding, it's this years must have b******t word. To be frank Harringay does need work on it's branding as outsiders are confused with the borough and town not helped by the council.
