    Like last year, there will probably be a coach arranged to bring fayre go'ers to the Bristol Vegan Fayre 2005 from Birmingham, and poss other areas I'm not aware of. Theres no reason why it couldn't be arranged from other places to I guess.

    Anyone in Swansea, Cardiff, Newport, Taunton, Exeter, Southampton, Reading, Swindon, Oxford, London, Gloucester, and surrounding areas or further afield fancy looking into it.

    I reckon you would get a fair bit of interest from local veggie and vegan groups and contacts.

    See you all there.

    Hi all,
    Just to add to the excitment about the Bristol Fayre we can announce the first Vegan shoulder press contest (maybe the first actual vegan strength contest?). It will be held at the Bristol Vegan Fayre (in my opinion just about the best vegan event in the world!).
    Full details are available at http://www.veganbodybuilding.org/2005shoulderpress.htm
    The idea is to have a fun event, rather than a serious thing, so the weights are only 8Kg for the ladies & 15K for the men, so just about anyone who fancies a go could get some reps.
    If you can make it Bristol (UK) at the end of October you could be walking away with a trophy & almost certainly some free goodies (we're aiming at everyone who enters getting a bag of treats, hopefully) & you're sure to have a fun day at the fayre as it's fab!
    Any queries don't hesitate to ask.

    That looks good Pete and some prizes to, best try it with free weights though - I am doing my current exercise routine with a machine with both hands and that's around 35KG on a good day 2 sets of 1 set of 12.

    Birmingham Vegetarians & Vegans - Bristol Vegan Fayre Coach Trip

    People who went to last year's Bristol Vegan Fayre came back with glowing reports on this excellent annual event. Expect loads of stalls selling food, clothes, shoes, gifts, cosmetics etc etc, so start saving. Most of the major campaigning groups will also be represented. We are planning to hire a coach, depending on numbers, so PLEASE contact us ASAP to express your interest.

    Bristol Vegan Fayre is on the lookout for a band, a kids entertainment team, and another 1/2 hour 'show' of some sort to do on the day.

    Do you know anyone who fits the bill, helping to make the fayre even better than its already going to be, whilst making themselves known to a whole new audience ??

    Any ideas very welcome, post em here, or pm me.

    One of the guys from the Jim Rose Circus is vegan, as are 3 of the Circus of horrors crew, but I guess smashing glass in your face and driving nails through your own nose with a 4lb club hammer is not really kids entertainment .

    Their are two amazing jugglers / comedians / entertainers called

    Haggis & Charlie they are amazing I always used to watch and meet up with them going back a few years when I used to go to all the Juggling conventions and shows through the summer in the UK.

    The used to have a web site but I can't seem to find it, I have just emailed a mate who knows Charlie to see if he knows how he can be tracked down.

    I am pretty sure they were both vegans as well, but don't quote me on that.

    Default Press release.

    BRISTOL VEGAN FAYRE

    SATURDAY 29 OCTOBER 2005

    10AM - 6PM AT THE L SHED

    PRINCES WHARF WAPPING ROAD BRISTOL


    The 3rd Bristol Vegan Fayre will be held at the L Shed Bristol at the end of October. Entrance is once again FREE to the public.

    Last years show saw OVER 5000 people attend, and this year is shaping up to be even bigger. Over 100 stalls, 30 speakers and entertainers and a huge amount of FREE FOOD, covering every aspect of the vegan lifestyle.

    Special guests are The Vegan Society, who are holding their AGM in Bristol the next day, The Bristol Cancer Help Centre (celebrating their 25th anniversary) and VEGFAM (who really are trying to Make Poverty History).

    Bristol firm Yaoh is once again organising the event, with assistance form a number of local and national traders, including Essential, Wild Oats, Plamil, Redwood, Beanies, Health Unlimited and Earthbound.

    Stalls include vegan food, clothing, bodycare, footwear, ethical and green organisations, campaigners, information, and of course several vegan caterers, including vegan BURGERS and DONER KEBABS, Juice bars, Indian food, snackbars, salads, ice cream, cakes, sweets, chocolates and coffee stalls - all of them vegan.

    And many of them will be running SPECIAL PROMOTIONS and DISCOUNTS on the day, making the Bristol Vegan Fayre an unmissable day out for all those who are vegan, veggie, or going that way - or those who are simply curious about the whole caboodle

    Talks include 'Vegan Sports Nutrition' by Gareth Zeal (recently nutritional advisor to Manchester City FC), Kerry McCarthy (Vegan MP for Bristol East - TBC), Dr Stephen Walsh (from the Vegan Society) and Robbie Hazeley the vegan bodybuilder.

    Entertainment includes a vegan fashion show, Rubber Ritchie the contortionist, a strongman's competition and a vegan custard pie fight. There will also be a kids area and kids entertainment.

    There is a huge rise in interest in the vegan lifestyle right now, especially with Dr Gillian McKeith on channel 4 and of course the influence of Jamie Oliver. The Bristol Vegan Fayre places an emphasis on entertainment and education and everyone is welcome - meat eaters included.

    'This isn't about issues' says Tim Barford from Yaoh, the organisers. 'It's about having fun, having a good day out, meeting up with people, and perhaps picking up some new ideas. It's Bristol - we do parties, not issues'. And after the Fayre, there will be a celebration dinner at the Rajpoot, Clifton, from 8pm - 1am, including the Vegan Society's 2005 awards ceremony.

    This is the 3rd year running that Yaoh has organised the Bristol Vegan Fayre. Yaoh also publishes 'A Vegan Guide To Bristol', an 80 page colour free guide to the area for all things vegan, and has recently been awarded Gold Star rating by the World Wildlife Fund for its environmental criteria.

    For further details about the fayre please contact Yaoh on 0117 9239053 or by e-mail info@yaoh.co.uk

    This fayre sounds good. I didn't even know there was one of these in Bristol!! Stumbled on this site the other day in my search for Boxing Gloves and was kindly helped out by Gertvegan, who also mentioned the fayre. I was sold at the first mention of food. Heh heh.

    Gertvegan - I don't know if you're one of the organisers, but if you, or someone you know of, wanted to send a bundle of fliers for me to put in our health food shop or something then message me. I'm sure they wouldn't mind. Maybe there's a few peeps in Taunton who would be up for coming but don't know about it.

    Who's going to this bristol fare, it sounded great in the vegan mag, really good entertainment. Infact, dare i say it, it sounded better than the London one. I'm really tempted but i'd rather not go alone??

    Thanks, gert, nice move... So, is anyone from near me going and can i tag along and is there anyone kind enough to squeeze me in at their place? I'm house trained and everything....
