The College is only 10 minutes from the centre of Chester, a charming walled city with a history stretching back over 2000 years. The city's fine selection of specialist shops and internationally renowned stores offer a wealth of choice in the most attractive of settings. From the VSUK Members' Forum, Jul/Aug 1991: The European Vegetarian Congress in Chester looks likely to be a great success with a notable list of speakers and an excellent programme of activities. Council approved plans for the event. It is still possible to book in for all or part of it and to participate in the programme of excursions. [In the main section of that issue the above notice, with picture, was repeated, but the banner on the picture changed to 'Places still available'.] From the VSUK Members' Forum, Sep//Oct 1991: [extract of report from the VSUK Council meeting, July 7, 1991] Council noted the very full and interesting programme being offered at the European Vegetarian Union Congress in Chester which this Society is hosting. This report is being written before the event but it seems likely that well over two hundred people from most countries in Europe will attendas well as a few from Canada, the United States, India, Singapore and Australia. Particularly welcome will be the representatives from the newly developing vegetarian societies of Eastern Europe. from The Vegetarian (VSUK), Nov/Dec 1991:
Russian Veggies While visiting the Vegetarian Conference earlier in the year, the campaigners were provided with literature, posters and videos to be distributed in Moscow. Unfortunately, although Tatyana and Irena are breaking new ground, they are entirely without funds. Hilary Nimmo of Compassion in World Farming, is asking everyone to join in and help the vegetarian Society and Ecological Foundation of the Soviet Union onto its feet. The fund is open until Jauary 31 and cheques and postal orders should be made out to: The Moscow Fund, c/o Hilary Nimmo, 34 St Peters St, Islington N1 8JT.
