This night will be dedicated entirely to open mic readings, brush up your best material and come and give it an go!

As Toby Fitch is off munching croissants in Paris the host for the night will be Steven Mansfield.

We have heaters and lovely red blankets for the cold and if your peckish hot home made soup and toast ($10).

As usual the Wine and Tapas bar will be serving up soup, tapas, and a fine selection of wines. Entry is free and things kick off from 7pm.

Come and have some fun, read or just listen -- all poetry is good for the soul. Hope to see you there!

To read your work in the open mic reading, just turn up on the night and put your name on the list. It must be your own work and is time limited stricktly to 2mins so we can fit everyone in.

Great food, great poetry! Look forward to seeing you all there.

**UPDATE:** The winner of the Open Mic Competition for this week only will win a voucher for 2 Tapas dishes and 2 Cocktails to be used in the Sappho Bar
