LATEST NEWS

Yaoh launches new magazine!

Yaoh’s latest adventure sees the publication of a new vegan magazine called ‘Off The Hoof’ – the first issue will be out on November 1st 08. ‘I’ve no idea what the first issue will be like – cos we haven’t written it yet’ says Timbo, the editor. But with quality writers like Tony Bishop Weston and Karin Ridgers involved, plus rumours of some ‘Loaded’ style journalism and an anarchic, irreverent and undoubtedly entertaining style promised, it should be a sure fire winner. The website won’t be live for a while but its www.offthehoof.co.uk and watch this space for more info next month!

Yaoh wins Vegan Award!

Yaoh finished in 1st place in their category in the recent Vegan Environmental Awards, ahead of such luminaries as Total Raw Food, DetoxYourWorld and The Raw Chocolate Company. The awards were voted for online during the first half of 2008 and Yaoh just about crept home in poll position. The Bristol Vegan Fayre came top too in the 8 Best Vegan Shows and Events section – an excellent result for such a wonderful team of people who help to make it such a success. Thanks very much to everyone who voted – the awards will be presented at Animal Aid’s Christmas Without Cruelty show in Kensington London on November 30th.
