A snapshot of Veggies ARCHIVE webpage If you have been involved with Veggies at at time since 1984, (and who hasn't?), your help is needed. We have only just started building this archive, which will grow into a historic diary of the frontline struggle for social change in the UK. Please send your recollections of past events, or reports of ongoing activities that you might clip from emails or other websites. Contact us via veggies.org.uk 1985 Diary of Adrian Molesworth Way back in 1985, one of Veggies earliest adventures was in support of the campaign to keep U.S. nuclear cruise missiles out of USAF Molesworth. Relive the campaign in 2000. 1992 Boots Action Nottingham National Demonstration against Boots the Vivisectors. At midday on Saturday 7th November 1992, 1000 Animal Rights campaigners converged on Nottingham City Centre to protest against the animal experiments carried out by the City's largest employer - The Boots Company PLC. This protest came 10 years after an earlier demonstration had been held in their home town-following the 1982 rescue of 13 beagles from their Thurgarton research/breeding facilities. 1996 Saturday 1st June: Uncaged Rally 14th July: M41 Reclaim the Streets. After a cat-and-mouse game with the police, 6,000 protestors take over part of the elevated motorway. Many sound-systems play. Hidden underneath dancers walking on stilts and wearing huge, wire-supported dresses, environmental activists drill holes in the tarmac and plant trees.
