[soilhack-announce] Soil Hack 2018- Invitation

[Frank White]

Hi Mary+Mick

Just to clear it up, we welcome everyone or all cultures, religions and 
diet choices. Its part of the venue we have been offered that we want to 
make our event friendly for everyone so we have catering that wont 
include meat or animal products. It's not a decision to exclude anyone, 
mainly to include everyone. The food is always delicious and filling, I 
never have any complaints as I'm a meat eater too. The aim is not to be 
antagonistic about peoples choices but to be accepting and inclusive.

I'm happy to chat more if you like

Yours Frank
