*from the General Secretary's report of the Congress:* In between times there were coach outings to places of historic interest, a Trampoline demonstration by an American expert Dr. Bill Harris, who came with the British Vegetarian Youth Movement contingent and succeeded in getting young and elderly members of the audience to have a go - to the vast amusement of the others.

A note on this archive. The history section of this website is drawn from a body of legacy content originally compiled by John Davis, former manager of the International Vegetarian Union. It represents his curation of historical material, and in places includes passages written by him directly.

Over the years, the IVU website has migrated between several different hosting servers. In the course of these migrations, a number of PDF files were unfortunately lost, and **some links to PDF documents may no longer function**. Where this is the case, we have chosen to leave the original link text in place, as it may itself carry information of historical value.
