About us
Bournemouth Vegetarians and Vegans (also Dorset Veg*ans) started before the Second World War,and was re-started in 1945 by Geoffrey Rudd who later became Secretary of the Vegetarian Society in Manchester.We are a non-profit making (volunteer-run ) group covering Bournemouth and surrounding areas. Our aim is to make life easier for local veggies and vegans by offering advice, information and the chance to meet socially with like-minded people.
Our events are open to anyone who may like to come along. We are affiliated with the Vegetarian Society and a group contact for the Vegan Society and we have a forum for anyone who may like to join.
We meet monthly on the first Saturday ,throughout the year, either for lunch at a local Cafe or at a members house.
Other events and trips arranged between us inc. festival trips, charity collection, spring and summer picnic's.
We welcome all vegetarians, vegans and those who wish to be.
If you are from the Dorset area and know of any Vegan or Vegetarian restaurants, any good health shops, guest houses, can suggest an event or know of any other information which would be of interest to us then i would be pleased to hear from you .. either by phone or email (see contact page
