Then the adverse weather with its heavy showers often sent people scurrying for shelter and tended at times to clear the event location area (Victoria Square) But despite this obstacle, there was a continual stream of Saturday folk passing the square, who took time to browse the stalls and talk to the MVC (Midlands Vegan Campaigns) volunteers and others
Lots of onlookers took their time and gathered to listen to the speakers or enjoy the music offered by the bands and artists. People also tried and enjoyed the Vegan food on offer I noticed there was a constant queue at both Vegan catering vans throughout the afternoon. The other entertainment laid on for younger folk (Kristoff the Clown) also looked well attended
So despite the obstacle of the weather, it looked a major event success!
