VENUE TO BE DECIDED

1pm - 2pm meeting

On Saturday August 7th 2004, the group joined with the Wexford Vegans for a picnic on Courtown beach near Gorey. It was also decided to arrange alternative venues for more social meetings. Location will be discussed and decided through the vegan mailing list http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/vegans_ireland. Membership to this mailing list is arranged through email, as detailed on the site.

On Saturday July 3rd 2004, the group discussed vegan cat food and supplements, the pros and cons of interacting with/assisting a wild animal, the purpose of an official group name for events, vegan guest houses and food intolerences and processed foods.

On Saturday June 5th 2004, there was a group discussion on people living with animals, school trips to the zoo or animal farms, organising anti-vivisection protests, and general organisation of the group.

On Saturday May 8th 2004, the group had a vegan picnic on the beach in Courtown, Co Wexford.

On Saturday March 6th 2004, the UK Vegan Society local contacts' coordinator, Patricia Tricker, gave a talk on organising local groups and on the Vegan Society.

The group have organised a vegan food and book stall at the co-op every Saturday, starting in March 2004. Volunteers to help with this stall would be greatly appreciated. So far the stall has included homemade vegan cakes and vegan books.

Some members are organising a newsletter to be distributed to various health shops etc. The first newsletter included vegan herbalist Helen Begadon's talk, which she gave on veganism and healing, at the group's meeting on Saturday 6th December 2003. Helen is the founder of The Irish School of Natural Healing, and is chairperson of The Master Herbalist Association of Ireland.
