Overall, Madison is pretty progressive and a lot of the people are very socially aware of the kinds of issues in food politics ? what organic is, what sustainable is. They are concerned about their environment.

This bloke is no journeyman. He's far from that. He's very tough with a bagful of antics.

We do a lot to really support the local farmers and producers. We have products from about 180 local producers in our store, so we are not only selling fresher food but we are helping to support our community.

We're big on offering options. The majority of members seem to think that even if you are a vegetarian it's good to offer the option.

We've been in constant contact with the lawyer and he's confident a visa should be granted by mid-April. Mick still has the deal with North East Promotions over there, and if things go according to plan will have his first US fight in May.

It's what we work out over the next few weeks.
