Come and test out your poetry reading and performance skills at our fabulous Poetry Slam to celebrate National Poetry Day 2012.

The theme this year is ’Stars’; so all you will need is at least 10 poems to enter. As a leveller, the poems read in the first round must be on the ’Stars’ theme and fit into 5 minutes, but the poems can be your own compositions or by famous poets!

New comers and experienced poets are all welcome! Join in the fun!

We also require an appreciative audience and 5 discerning judges.

Groovy prizes for the winner and runners-up!
