All members are invited to attend and put their ideas forward, exchange views or simply meet fellow vegetarians and vegans.
An RSVP is not required.
Why join?
There really are benefits of joining the Society. All members receive a quarterly, national, extremely informative, glossy magazine - your choice of Vegan Voice or Natural Health and Vegetarian Life, our quarterly newsletter (the content makes up for the lack of sheen on the paper) and the option of joining the committee, attending great events and meeting interesting people.
You will also be eligible for discounts at many different businesses - see discounts.
Most importantly help us inform people about the vegetarian lifestyle and Help The Animals.
Join now by printing our membership form and sending it back with your payment. Or you can use one of the new electronic methods of payment.
