VRWG Poets and Pints - a fantastic success!!!!

Last night the VRWG held its first open mike night at the Bluecap pub entitled Poets and Pints (no prizes for guessing what went on there!). It turned out brilliantly. 50 people turned up with approaching half of that performing in three sessions during the evening. Six guest poets of some standing took part in each session and you could hardly move around the place for past Cheshire poet laureates!




Well done to all the first-timers, all excellent. Thanks to Karen for MCing and big thanks to Tonia for doing the detailed work in pulling it all together.

I even sold two of my Dark Poem books!!!!

We also did a presentation to GOES of the money made from the anthology and ran a raffle for some donated books.

Lots of pictures at http://picasaweb.google.com/gough.chris1/VRWGPoetsAndPintsAugust2008 and I'm sure there will be more on the VRWG site and blog when the takers have chnace to put them up there. Watch this space for the next one.
