Why join the VSI?

 

Would you like to:

 

  • Avail of discounts in participating restaurants and shops?
  • Meet with other vegetarians and vegans?
  • Get some very tasty vegetarian and vegan recipes?
  • Hear about Events for vegetarian and vegan people in your area?
  • Get your own copy of our magazine delivered direct to your door?
  • Have some fun?

 

We run a discount scheme for our members in association with a number of shops, restaurants, accommodation and other service providers. Shops offering discounts include Govindas (Aungier St and Merrion Row) and Cornucopia; all details may be found on our website.

 

We run a social group called the Vegetarian Society of Ireland - Dublin Meetup Group. This is a group of people who meetup approximately once a month, and enjoy an activity together, usually a nice meal in one of Dublin’s vegetarian restaurants.  The group has even successfully got some people together with the love of their lives.  If you would like to learn more, events are organised online through http://www.meetup.com/vegetarian-485/.

 

We have events in other locations around the country, and if you are not a member you may just miss out on a tasty meal, some good fun or all of the above.

 

If you are not a member you may already have missed out on our vegan bake sale as part of the Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale event in May, and the fantastic celebration of World Vegetarian Day event in October. For further details see our home page.

 

We also produce a quarterly magazine called The Irish Vegetarian which we send out free to our members and sell through health food stores, restaurants and shops.

 

Help promote vegetarianism in Ireland. We have a small, hard-wroking group of committee members and core volunteers and receive assistance from addition vounteers for various projects.

 

Our aims are to advance education, and to promote the positive aspects of vegetarianism in relation to both health and environmental issues. We also aim to create more awareness of the organisation, and to inform the people of Ireland about vegetarianism. We aim to co-operate with other organisations which promote the fundamental ideals of vegetarianism. The VSI supports both vegetarian and vegan aims.

 

If you would like to become a full member of the Vegetarian Society of Ireland, support its work and avail of fantastic discounts, you can print out the form attached and join the society today. Remember, there would be no Vegetarian Society without its members, so we hope you will join in promoting vegetarianism in Ireland.
