EXETER
XMAS ANIMAL AID EVENT |
| |
|
Just a quick note to thank
you once again for your support for Animal Aid's
event last week. We had a great success,
with a larger crowd than
ever before thanks to Benjamin Zephaniah's visit.
The crowds were so dense that it was a bit
chaotic and difficult to
get from one end of the hall to the other. A nice
problem!
Thanks again for all the wonderful
support. As
always, Bute Island went down well with the punters! I
hope we'll see you in Bristol again next year.
Best wishes,
Mark Gold |

NORWICH
VEGGIE FAYRE |
| |
|
I
would like to say a huge THANK YOU for being so
generous with the samples you sent for Norwich's
First Veggie Fayre! Thanks to your generosity the
event was a huge success, with many people
commenting on how surprised they were at the quality
of the tasters we had on offer and that it certainly
opened their eyes to the vegan diet and how varied
it could be, with many wanting to purchase items
there and then! The day was certainly a positive for
all involved with an estimated 300
people coming through the
doors to sample the various vegan delights on offer,
the consensus being among both the
public, stall-holders and
the organisers alike was that there will certainly
be one next year and that a larger venue will
be needed! I have attached
some photos from the day, a couple being some of the
items we made with what you
sent including quiche and
macaroni Sheese, I hope you find them useful!
Thank you for your generosity once again, Nicky

LIVERPOOL VEGGIE ROADSHOW |
| |
|
The
Incredible Veggie Roadshow in Liverpool on 26 Nov
was a roaring success in probably the most stunning
venue
we have ever had! It was busy
all day and all the stalls did well; the cookery
demos and talks were packed – and everyone
loved the free samples, hot
and cold. We used some of the Sheese products in our
cookery demos (nice recipes, hope
you like them!) and gave the
rest away on the cold food stalls. Despite the free
food, the venue’s own café still took £800
selling all vegan food, much
to their surprise. Staff and punters were utterly
delightful and friendly and we felt really
welcomed – it’s not a
stereotype about Scousers then! Thank you again to
all at Bute Island for the support and
generous donations of Sheese.
Our next show is
Sat Feb 4th in Cambridge.
Best wishes to all the team –
and a very happy holiday season.

TWICKENHAM VEGAN FOOD FAYRE |
| |
|
Visitors to Twickenham and
North Surrey Vegetarians and Vegans' free Vegan Food
Fayre on Saturday, 29 October 2011
were treated to an
impressive spread of international vegan cuisine
prepared by volunteers, as well as delicacies
supplied
by local restaurants. Many
of the dishes were prepared using free samples which
were generously provided by Bute Island Foods,
Meridian, Plamil and Nairns.There were a few stalls
and a raffle with super prizes, including toiletries
donated by
Lush and Green People and
vegan meal vouchers from Karahi Spices and Village
Pizza in Twickenham, Riverside
Vegetaria, Kingston and Tin
Tin’s, Hampton Hill. One visitor commented, “I think
it’s wonderful this was put on today.
It has given many people
lots to think about! Thank you.” and several
expressed their intention to reduce their meat and
dairy consumption, as a
result of attending the Food Fayre. Visitors were
given a list of vegan-friendly places to shop
and eat in the local area
and many opted to sign up to receive emails about
the group’s activities from Lesley Dove,
the local group contact,
and recipes for some of the food on offer. The event
feedback showed that we achieved our aim
of challenging the public’s
perception that vegan food is limited and boring and
gave us lots to think about for next time.
We would like to give a big
THANK YOU to all our supporters and sponsors who
made this event possible.

TNSVV. |

BRISTOL VEGAN EVENT |
| |
|
I
just want to share my good news with you. My event
went very well, and we even raised more money than
we thought.
We had a 3-hour event in St George
promoting a vegetarian/vegan diet. We have generous
sponsors including
Redwoods, Frys and Bute
Island Foods. My team and I (The Veggie Bowl Info
Centre Team) made wonderful food
for the event, and the chef at
the church even made a special vegetarian Spanish
dish especially too. We raised sixty pounds and
forty-five pence. In addition, Kerry McCarthy (MP of
St George) came down, contributed, and said she
respected what I was trying to do for the area. St
George has never seen anything like this before, so
it was great to
do this for the area.
We raised money for the sanctuaries, increased the
public's knowledge of the cafe in the church,
and made the area aware
of different food choices – a veggie-based diet. As
part of our event, we had a raffle,
plant sale, food and a
masseuse (who donated products from Lush). I even
dressed up in a pig and cow costume
and ran around the
shopping centre – which the cars and the children
liked very much. The event made the
Evening Post and Kerry
McCarthy's website too. I think this is a great
introduction to veggie-based diet. My wish
is for local groups
around the UK to follow suit and organize their own
Veggie Awareness Day in their local area. |

SUMMERFEST VEGAN STAND |
| |
|
South Shropshire Veggies are a
new group located in Church Stretton. We have
managed to secure a vegan stall at Summerfest.
Summerfest is run by
Church Stretton &
District Chamber
of Trade
and attracts people
from all over
the county and country
due to the flavour of entertainment.This
will be the first time that there has been a vegan
contribution to the event, and it will be a chance
for us to reach a new audience. We are in the heart
of animal agriculture.
At the event we will be cooking and giving samples
of delicious vegan food, promoting vegan products
and giving talks
on
the health and environmental benefits of the vegan
diet. There has already been interest in the lead up
to the event
with people expressing interest in coming to our
stall and sampling food, and asking practical
questions about a vegan diet. We will use Sheese to
make a range of healthy, nutritious dishes: for
example spaghetti with walnuts pears and
grated Sheese, Sheese cake and savouries.
Event
date: June 29 - July 3 and July 5 - 10

ANIMAL EQUALITY VEGAN TASTING EVENT |
| |
|
On Sunday the 20th of March, to
celebrate MeatOut Day, Animal Equality had a free
vegan sample event in London,
near Covent Garden in Long Acre street.
Hundreds of curious Londoners
were treated with different kinds of vegan ham,
delicious and varied sausages,
pizzas with mozzarella style cheese and egg free
mayonnaise. They could also try
cheddar, smoked, red mature and blue style cheeses.
All of them were pleased, and
hundreds of leaflets were given out. Free vegan
samples
are a great way to show people
how easy and delicious vegan eating can be. It is
also
another way to introduce veganism
and non-human animals rights.
We want to thank all the
volunteers for their help, and the companies who
donated their
products, including
Bute Island Foods for
their Sheese range, they all made this event
possible!

HERTS
VEGAN STALL
EVENT |
| |
|
The day went well. We had the
stall on Hitchin Market Place from 9.30 to about
3.30, with lots of information and recipes available
as well as a variety of vegetarian (mainly vegan)
foods to try. As usual we had a variety of responses
to the foods (especially vegan cheese which a lot of
people struggle with) but lots of people were
willing to try and many admitted they could happily
incorporate more of these foods into their regular
diet. Overall we felt the day was very worthwhile.
Thanks very much for your
support. Our vegan family loves Sheese!

Here is a photograph from the Minority Pastime event
we held for Swansea Animal Rights Group. Thank
you very much for the kind donation of the Sheese.
We managed to raise just over £100 which is great as
we are raising money for our Land Rover tyres and
insurance and we are also having to replace 3 video
cameras
and a stills camera that were stolen while we were
monitoring a hunt.

ABUNDANT
TAUNTON EVENT |
| |
|
Having Started from a
Free Food Fair in April, Taunton Vegans and
Vegetarians had another successful
outreach stall on
Saturday 2nd October with lots of tasty vegan snacks
being given away at the Abundant Taunton
Event. The event,
hosted by Taunton Transition Town, was held to
celebrate the abundance of food at this time
of the year and TVV
were on hand to offer free food and information &
advice on moving towards a more
plant-based diet,
using fewer resources than that of an animal-based
one. It was the pizza slices (made using
Sheese on ciabatta
with olives, sweet corn and home-grown tomatoes)
that went down the best,
with lots of
omnivores taken aback at how cheesy it tasted!

BATH
VEGAN FAYRE 2010 |
| |
|
Campaigners and
volunteers with Bath Animal Action are pleased to
announce that the Bath Vegan Fayre
2010 event went
swimmingly, with over 150 happy punters passing
through the doors. Held at Manvers
Street Baptist Church
in the city centre, a moment's walk from the train
and bus stations, the event lasted
from 12 till 4pm.
Otherwise, the second annual free food event
followed much the same pattern as the
previous year - with
a dazzling array of steaming soups, chillies, rice
dishes and lovingly-tended vegetable
delicacies filling
the bowls of queues of hungry fayre-goers. Alongside
this was a mouth-watering spread of
cakes, cookies,
snacks and ethnic desserts. The tea and fruit juices
flowed like never before, whilst the tables
were filled with
relaxed conversation and ingested education. As well
as the over-burdened information
tables, with
everything from nutrition, environmental ethics,
recipes, animal rights, medical science and
campaign updates,
(against zoos, hunters, foie gras outlets and
animal-testing laboratories) There was also
a free samples table,
reading corner and children's area, plus a prize
raffle – the cause of some excitement.
By the end of the
day, many a happy visitor was heard singing the
praises of the food, including the
immortal words: "I
had no idea Vegan food could taste this good!"

of Bath Animal Action

Hi guys, I just wanted to thank
you for your participation in Vegovision 2010! The
fair had 500 visitors and there was a
very positive atmosphere. We were
extremely satisfied with how the event went, and
being able to sample your products
was one of the high points of the
fair. From our evaluations we have seen that what
the visitors wanted the most at
future fairs, was to be able to
purchase more products to take home with them. In
the spring of 2011 we plan to have
an even bigger and better fair
and would love to have your company exhibit again.
Once again, thank you for your
participation. Jennifer Gosser-Duncan,

WOLVERHAMPTON VEGAN FAIR |
| |
|
Hi Guys I just wanted to say
thank you for the samples you sent to promote at our
food fair. Despite it being a miserable day, the
event was a great success and we estimate we had
about 250 people
come through the door. As usual,
your products were a huge success. People who
hadn't tried it before were
very impressed and we had
numerous requests for where the products could be
purchased locally.
One of the places we directed
them to was "Rosemarys" which is an independent
health food shop in
Wolverhampton. We also urged
people to ask the shops they use to stock it. The
Mexican style spread
proved the biggest hit as always
although the hard cheddar style seemed to go down
well with the kids. Once again, thank you for
your support.

SHEFFIELD VEGAN FAYRE |
| |
|
The day itself was a great
success with a few hundred people through the doors
and all the food going just before the end.
In particular we received
comments about how tasty the samples of vegan
chocolate were, how pleased people were
to find delicious products that
were new to them such as 'Nakd' bars and how much
they enjoyed vegan cheese!
All the other products we were
giving away went, including all the dulse and fruit
purees. Our favourite story from the
fayre is when one of our
volunteers talked to a little girl who was about
seven who came with her mum and she related how
great the fayre had been for her.
She had told her mum she wanted to be a vegetarian
only about a week before the event.
When her mum saw the fayre
advertised she said "we'll go to this event and if
you like the food then we'll think about it".
Both of them loved the food, and
the girl particularly liked the homemade falafel,
and took lots of recipes.
Her mum then told her she was
happy for her to become a vegetarian now!

HOPE PASTURES EVENT |
| |
|
About the Hope Pastures Charity -
www.hopepastures.org
The Charity was registered in 1974 and the aim was to rescue horses,
ponies & donkeys that were being abused.
In April 2004 the Trust was taken over by new trustees whose aims are to
Rescue,
Rehabilitate
and
Re-home
wherever
possible.
Although some residents may be
old and some not in the best of health, they are all
cared for and loved and can
spend their days in a safe
environment away from the often harsh and brutal
treatment of their former years.
As well as rescuing horses,
Hope Pastures hopes to provide an environment where
young people can learn
directly about caring
for horses in a natural setting, this interaction
helps educate young people about animal welfare
and social responsibility.
Whether by visiting our web site or directly meeting
the animals at our sanctuary,
we hope to foster an
environment where learning and understanding can
take place. It is our hope that in doing this,
we will help nurture a
generation that values the natural world around us
and seeks to protect the
environment and the animals we
share this planet with.
Below is a
couple of pictures of a recent fundraising event,
where £125 was raised for the sanctuary.

EASTBOURNE
VEGGIE GROUP STALL
IN SEPTEMBER |
| |
|
Many thanks to everyone who helped make the above a
great success. An amazing £220.60 was collected.
Viva! are receiving
£60 for raffle tickets plus £50.30 from the stall
donations. Animal Aid are receiving £50 from the
sale of 50 purple poppies plus£60.30 from stall donations. The main aim however
was, by example and information, to influence people
to live a healthier
& more sustainable life. This I am confident we
achieved. For example one lady, who had originally
declined to sign the
foie-gras petition, on reading the literature was
appalled & changed her mind. A number of other
visitors said they would
become vegetarian or vegan after tasting various
products.
Among the
companies that contributed and that we would like to
thank were: Bute Island Foods.
Their range of vegan Sheeses were very popular &
people couldn’t tell the difference between them &
‘ordinary’ cheese!

Friendship, Bill Palethorpe - Eastbourne Veggie

Hi
Bute Island, I’m writing on
behalf of MVC to say a massive thank you for
your company’s support of our organization
and our most recent vegan food
give-a-way in Birmingham city centre. We had a
brilliant day and it was one of our most
successful events yet – from 11
o’clock onward the lovely public enjoyed the best of
vegan ice cream, meat-free meats,
sushi, dairy-free cheeses and
assorted goodies. Even with six of us and 4 x 4ft
tables we were still swamped, and it was
a brilliant sight to behold.
People were genuinely thrilled to taste something
new, explore new foods and many
wanted to know where to get such
goodies – we were, of course, only too happy to
oblige them and sincerely hope
we’ve found you some new
ethically-conscious customers. Our events are
all about showing people that vegan
food has never tasted better, and
we are hugely grateful for your help in our quest.
We couldn’t have done it alone!
Here’s to great-tasting vegan
food, and events to come. We’d love to work
with you again in the future,
please do keep in touch! Kind
regards, Alex
