I'll be popping along to this, i've got a week off around then so should be good.
Yep i don't mind meeting up with people

[Kevster]

So anyone else with plans for this event? Haven't been along to a fayre in a while.

[Gorilla]

[Marrers]

I'm busy that weekend.

Hi Gorilla

I am getting a car load together if you fancy sharing. I will probably pick everyone up from a central point in Brighton....

Liz : 0 )

[Gorilla]

cool, thanks Liz, if there'll be room in your car that'd be great.

[VeganLiz]

If you pm me your mobile number/home number I can get in contact with you nearer the time...

Liz : o )

This Saturday.....

[Gorilla]

oooh, it's come around very quickly all of a sudden. i'm not sure i'm going to be able to make this now.

[cookey]

Me and the girls are planning on being there, hopefully in time for lunch!
Hope to see some of you guys there.

[Gorilla]

changed my mind (sort of)... i might be there after all, i'll decide on the day if i feel like it. if you see me, come and say hello

[Kevster]

I'll be wearing a fairly bright green t-shirt*, with a little rabbit with a placard saying 'legalise animal rights' feel free to come and say hello. I'll probably be by the rice cream stall for much of the time, or perhaps having a few beers if the straight edgers haven't seen them off

*or a herbivore hoodie if it's a little cooler.

[Melanie]

Couldn't make it as I haven't recovered from my operation yet =/

Was it good?

[Kevster]

Just got back, had a good day there, met up with an old mate from school and went to a local pub, they had Heineken, Grolsch, Becks, Carlsberg and Carlsberg Export on tap, winner!

It was quite good because i caught up with some of the people behind veggiepets and was chatting to them about vegan cat and dog food. Our little kitty cat Cleo likes her vegan cat food, but Doris the dog who isn't 'ours' doesn't like the yarrah dog food, it's a bit bland and she eats the cat food, though not allowed! Today i picked up a couple of sample packs of the Ami vegan dog food and the other vegetarian dog food they do. And i'll give her a try on that... also picked up fake pigs ears and some crocodile chews. I also got a catnip cushion for the little sweetpuss.

As for me pondered the stalls, had an interesting chat with the monkey sanctuary lady, had two veggie burgers from Veggies, and two pieces of carrot cake. Bought a mug and a box of Booja booja truffles for £3 from Animal Aid. Bought a DVD and picked up a couple of newsletters. Bought some dehulled hemp seed from Yaoh, and Tim nice bloke that he is gave us a couple of yaoh bars, and said he'd send something up for the horse and pony sanctuary event in Leeds.

Also met a few other people i knew for a bit of a chat, it was pretty good, though perhaps a little quieter than it might have been...

Oh and i also had two ice creams. The vanilla and the strawberry rice cream is excellent! I am slightly less keen on the chocolat.

[Kevster]

I also had a very good Indian head and neck massage.

[Melanie]

Sounds like it was fun!

[Poison Ivy]

It does indeed ....I really must pull my finger out and go to one of the vegan fayres sometime this year.

[Gorilla]

i felt shite this morning so i really wasn't in the mood to go. oh well.
