Bristol Vegan Fayre 2007: 007 Awards, Best Vegan Individual Achievement

Robbie Hazeley - Vegan Mr Universe

Truly amazing achievement for this bloke, who has been bodybuilding on a vegan diet for nearly 18 years now. Recently hit the highlight of his career when in Dec 2006 Robbie made it a top ten finish in Mr Universe - the world's most prominent bodybuilding contest. Training on a 100% vegan and mainly raw diet, Robbie at over 50 years old is in the shape of his life and his outstanding self discipline in achieving these heights is a real credit to him, as well as a superb advertisement for the vegan lifestyle. Awesome. See www.veganbodybuilding.org
Harjinder Singh - Sikh martial artist

Quite extraordinary fella from the Midlands who can do the most outrageous things with a sword, as many of us witnessed at the Bristol Vegan Fayre 2006. Harjinder also trains a whole team of young Sikhs in traditional costume and fighting techniques, and they all train on a vegan diet too. Harjinder is a humble man but his achievements in training his young team, and the dedication he has displayed are outstanding in this day and age. A credit to himself, his team, to the Sikh culture and to the vegan lifestyle across the globe. Back for 2007 at the BVF. Email truthjustice8671@aol.com
Angie Greenaway - Viva! Incredible Veggie Roadshows

As a team player Angie has a massive amount of support but still must take a large slice of the credit for organising the Incredible Veggie Roadshows that have been sweeping the country with unparalleled success for a couple of years now. The shows have helped take the vegan lifestyle to the four corners of the UK, with more to come, and their lively informative atmosphere has helped create a new generation of vegans wherever they've gone.

James Southwood - UK Kickboxing champion

James used to work for The Vegan Society but the last few years has seen him teach his favourite occupation, Savate Kick Boxing, and 2006 saw him become British Champion. Training on a 100% raw vegan diet, James is at the cutting edge of human health and sporting achievement, excelling to the highest level at this unique combination of mind, body and spirit.

Marvellous contribution from local vegan volunteer Paul over the last couple of years.

Benjamin Zephaniah - Poet/activist/playwright/musician

Multi talented and highly achieving for several decades now, Benjamin has that added ingredient that is rare amongst such talented individuals - he is a real force as a personality and comes across in real life as passionate and inspirational as he does on stage, in his written, spoken and visual works. Vegan since way back now, and still hugely active and completely committed to a vast range of causes. Legendary. See www.benjaminzephaniah.com
