is a Huge Success!!
Solihull Animal Aid
Viva!'s Solihull Veggie Roadshow on Saturday 29th January 2005 was the best yet with an amazing 1,418 people coming through the doors....far more than at their Brighton show.
The show was opened by Radio WM Late Night Show Presenters, Julie Mayer and Tony Wadsworth, who had a great time meeting their fans, tasting the fab food on offer and learning about 'Going Veggie' and animal issues.
The kitchen 'staff' worked flat out all day long, as did those serving hot and cold food tasters....only complaint was that those serving the food were so busy they hardly got to eat anything themselves!
It was a happy, inspiring and uplifting day attended by many meat-eaters as well as lots of veggies and vegans....young and old.
Thanks again to all those who helped in any way on the day - especially the
kitchen 'slaves'!
