League Against Cruel Sports or LACS as it's more commonly known is finally up and running in London again. After a succsessful event at the Christmas Vegan Fair in Kensington (a bizarre location for such an event admittedly) the leagues work was able to reach a few more people and raise awareness.

As a new member myself who joined at this event it has been really good to see the enthusiasm of the organisers and main representatives. So far we have held two meetings, to establish a basic manifesto and to decide upon the best way forward to raise awareness in London and try to possibly recruit more members.

LACS will be holding a stall at THE INCREDIBLE VEGGIE SHOW in Lawrence Hall and Conference Centre, Royal Horticultural Halls, Greycoat Street, London SW1P 2PE on Saturday 18th April between 10am and 6pm.

This is Europe's largest vegetarian event and features everything you ever wanted to know about being or going veggie or vegan – or simply cutting down on meat. Hosted by leading vegetarian campaigning group Viva! As with previous shows, the 2009 extravaganza will provide inspiration and information for all – and everything at the show will be suitable for all – 100 per cent vegan and 100 per cent cruelty-free.

It promises to be a fun day out for people looking to improve their health, save animals and protect the environment. 100+ stalls, a wide range of free food tastings, cookery demos, lots of talks, nutritional help and advice, recipes, information, campaigns, Admission £4, under 18 free, save 25 per cent by pre-booking your tickets by visiting www.viva.org.uk/london or calling Viva! on 0117-944 1000

It'd be great to see you there!
