THE WHERE
Zamia Theatre

There will be a blackboard poet section for those who would like to share a poem.
THE COST
There is no specific cost, but we ask for a donation at entry. These monies go to a contribution to the poet, the musicians, the hire of the space and our continuing ability to support poetry and poets by our annual competition, guest poet events and our publication of new poetry by Calanthe Press.
BUT, and this is always the case, if you aren't flush this month, please, please, please do not let that stop your coming to hear Nicole's fine work. Come and enjoy poetry.
WHAT TO BRING
* Money for donation entry, the raffle, a cuppa or an ice cream, and for books.
(We do have a card reader if you don't have cash, though who would refuse cash.)
*It's BYO nibbles and tipple. All easy as you'll be sitting at tables.
* A poem for Blackboard Poets. (One long-ish one or two short-ish ones is the recommendation.)
