THE LONDON VEGANS DIARY
This is a list of events which may be of interest to vegans and sympathisers
in the London area and is sent free to London Vegans subscribers at regular
intervals.
Where known, the organiser is indicated at the bottom of each entry.
|
For non London Vegan events we suggest that you check with the
organiser before going. For our own events you may wish to phone
the number given in each entry. For events outside of London you may wish to visit the
Vegetarian Guides Festival Calendar
and/or the Animal Rights Calendar.
For enquiries about London Vegans or veganism in general you
can e-mail us at
@remove@information-at sign-londonvegans.org.uk@remove@
or alternatively phone
Julie or Brian on 020 8446 3480, or Miriam on 020 8998 0920.
You can also phone Julie or Brian if you have difficulty booking a place at one of our restaurant visits.
Press or media enquirers can phone Alex Bourke on 020 3239 8433.
Details of the next few London Vegans events, including any late changes, can
be found in the Diary section of the London Vegans web page,
at www.londonvegans.org.uk,
which also contains lots of other userful information.
Unless stated otherwise, all our own events are open to everyone
(whether vegan or not) including both subscribers and non-subscribers.
However, participants are requested to
consume only vegan foodstuffs at our events.
As well as organising various socials, catering services and information
stalls throughout the London area, London Vegans also run regular meetings
on the last Wednesday of every month (except December) at the Millman
Street Community Rooms, Millman Street, WC1 (entrance through security
doorway adjacent to 38a). The group provides hot drinks, but
participants are invited to bring vegan snacks to share. (No alcohol or
smoking, please.)
Admission is free, but donations towards the hire of the room are
requested.
The agenda can change without notice.
The Diary is in two sections, the first, called "London Vegan Events"
are those in which we take an active part, either socially or campaigning,
whilst the main "London Vegan Diary" includes events likely to be
of interest to vegans in the London area.
If you know of any such events which are not yet listed, please let us know
