A TEAM of Darlington students turned the tables on teachers yesterday as they were given the chance to educate them on an important issue.

Pupils from Carmel RC Technology College were highlighting Darlington's bid for Fairtrade Town status at a teachers' information day held at Tall Trees, in Yarm.

The students form the college's Fairtrade group and were selling Fairtrade products, including tea, coffee and chocolate, to teachers during the day.

The group formed in February and has already sold almost £2,000 worth of Fairtrade products to students and staff.

A resolution has been passed by Darlington Borough Council supporting the bid to become a Fairtrade Town.
