Articles from Members' Newsletters

For many years Oxford Vegetarians published a quarterly members' newsletter. Latterly entitled The Oven (shorthand for Oxford Vegetarians Newsletter) it usually comprised four pages including a front page editorial, reviews, a members page, and general articles of interest to vegetarians and vegans.

Publication of The Oven in printed form ended with the April 2006 issue. Members with an email address now receive a regular email newsletter covering much the same ground as The Oven and previewing forthcoming events. However, many of the articles from members' newsletters remain pertinent and links to a selection of them can be found below, the most recent are at the top. Opinions expressed in these articles are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of Oxford Vegetarians as a whole. A selection of reviews from members' newsletters, plus some new ones, can also be found by clicking here.
