Guest guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Well, I would like to express an opinion as to why in my case I don't get more involved in this group. I prefer to be more active on my own local veggie and vegan list, and my vegfamilies list, and basically any veggie and vegan lists where the group is there with the main intention of bringing more veggies and vegans together in real life, either for activism or just socially. The trouble with a UK-wide list like this one is that people are too spread out and no-one seems to want to organise any real life gatherings. I am sure many people on here must live fairly close to others on the list, but I generally get no response here when I post about London meet ups such as the proposed central London vegan picnic I suggested in June for many veggies and vegans to meet up from various and local veggie and vegan groups, and I found the lack of response disappointing and offputting. I thought about leaving the list there and then when not one person replied. I can't see why since we have more than 300 on the list, no-one seems to organise any local meals out with others in the group. I would guess that there must be at least 50 people in the London area on a list this size, possibly closer to 100, so it is astonishing to me how few vegans ever seem to want to be around others from the group in real life. I have the same problem to some extent on my local veggie and vegan group, there are many who have never come along to meet up with the group even when they live close to us. I don't get it!

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Hi, I see this list less as an active discussion list, so much as a place where, if someone needs help or has a question and doesn't know anyone locally they can turn to, they can ask here. Personally, I also occasionally post warnings or news just to make sure it spreads. I don't see this as a bad thing necessarily. Sure, the local lists are often more busy, but this one has its place I think. Or at least, it doesn't seem to hurt to remain on it! As for the 300 members, I doubt that most of those are still current. The list has been going for a while, and I'd be willing to be that there aren't even close to that number of us. We could try and count ourselves though... ONE!

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Are you on VEG-London and/or Veggiesocials (both are )? I would recommend those as good groups to join for meeting other vegans and vegetarians in London. They organise meals out and social get-togethers all over the London area. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Personally, I like the fact that people are spread out, as I find it interesting to get " the bigger picture " , and I am also a member of the global site and enjoy listening to how it is for vegans in other parts of the globe.

I've only ever sent one post to the list (so, Hi all!), and I wasn't even going to bother responding to the ad-hoc count (read: it'll never work) - what do we really gain by de-lurking like this, apart from cluttering up the list with random numbers and taking up our time?

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 The ad-hoc count should work, I'm counting, we have a good start already. I will summarise from time to time in case of any confusion (not too boringly often from now on I promise). I'd also like to suggest we could put our location and if we would like real life meetups, so any of us living close enough to each another can get in touch. I am sure some people will want to set up something local with other vegans, either social or active, or join in with whatever is already established in their area. Many vegans still hardly meet any other vegans in real life so it seems we could use the group to help end the sense of isolation. We make up less than 0.5% of the population so it is quite rare to find other vegans just randomly in day to day life (I never do). 1. John Davis 2. Paul Russell 3. Lesley Dove (Hampton, TW12, very keen to bring more vegans together locally, both social and active, running a small local vegetarian and vegan group) 4. Rebecca Hathaway (Victoria, London, interested in meet ups with other vegans) 5. Peter H 6. Carole Backler 7. Geraint Edwards 8.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 I'm another lurker, read everything, never post, just find comfort in knowing you are all out there somewhere holding the same beliefs.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 As I have been here the longest I should be number one, but as that has been taken I will settle for being zero instead. Michael. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 I'm here too! I think that's number ten, or is it eleven? I'm from Devon, there's a fairly active vegan group locally and London's much too far away for me to go to all these picnics, unfortunately. I, too, see this group more as online support for vegans who don't know many in real life, rather than physically meeting up, although that would be fun too. I think that some people may prefer the anonymity - if they have a question or a problem then they might feel more comfortable talking about it to people who they don't know and will never have to meet. *Shrug* I'm lucky enough to know quite a lot of vegans in real life, so I don't know what it's like for those who are struggling on their own with little real-life support.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Hi Number 10 or 11!, you are lucky to know other vegans. None around where I live, which is another reason why I like vegan webchat sites. Peter H gothcatz <gothcatz Sunday, 6 April, 2008 9:06:40 PM Re: Wheres Izzy? I'm here too!
