reps and guys needing to get 7 reps to get
a prize. We started the challenge only the
offering a prize of a lolly for everyone
who succeeded![]() but the
wonderful people at the Optibac Probiotics
offered everyone who completed the
challenge a 14 days free supply of
probiotics! So, thank those guys by
popping over to them if you are
looking for some probiotics!

The inverted row contest had been moved to the main hall on the upper floor.We weren't how much interest we'd get for the contest as people had to find the new venue so we ere very pleased that people took the time to come and enjoy the event. ![]() ![]() Matilda got 12 reps winner the female under 16 contest ![]() Emilo got 20 reps winning our male under 16 contest ![]() Hayley go second place female with 50 reps ![]() Mike and Niccolo shared the second spot with 25 reps ![]() Cindy amazed the crowd with a winning total of 61 reps ![]() Matt got a fabulous 41 reps Meeting folk We met loads of fantastic people over the weekend
The fantastic Paul Kerton (Hench
Herbivore on youtube) spent most of Saturday at our stall giving
out free advice and helping those trying to improve their health
and fitness.
![]() On Sunday we had Patrik Baboumian
the World record holding Strongman at the stall to help give
out some fantastic advice to those needing help plan their
training and diets.
Knut proposes! ![]() Amid the drama and excitement
of the weekend, some people may have missed the infamous
Knut (ex-editor of the magazine Vegan Views) proposing
during the event. Sadly, he was rejected as all he could
offer was a lolly. I did suggest that maybe he would have
received a better result if he actually found out her name
first, but Knut felt that wasn't important. better luck
next time Knut :-)
![]() So, finally it was Sunday evening and time to pack up. This year at the Brighton Vegfest had been a great success and we had gotten to know many of the people attending a lot better than we did before. Doing events can be surpisingly, but in the evening we went to Purezza (vegan pizza place) and a vegan beer festival (yes, they do exist!). So, by the end of the long weekend we were ready to pack up, enjoy the evening, then take a day or two to recover. Sponsors
