Pedlars Poetry Open Mic — Launceston, 14th November 2023

The Pedlars Open Mic Poetry night is on the second Tuesday next month:  the 14th November.

The competition for November will be THE POETRY HANDICAP !

This means that the poets who have won competitions in the past, who have been published and/or are well known poets are handicapped, giving newer poets a greater chance of winning!  So enter the competition if you haven’t done so before, and get all your friends to enter! 

The winner will be decided upon by the MC of the night.  The winner will receive a book prize, a certificate,  a bottle of wine, and a mystery prize.

So get out your pens — or ipads out — and start writing…!

As usual our Pedlars Open Mic will be held at Sports Garden Hotel in a room off the back bar.  Meals at Sports Garden are great, so come early and order a meal if you can to support our venue.

The readings/performances will begin at 7.30 p.m. – we finish at 9.30 p.m

Come a little earlier and put your name down if you wish to read as we like to start promptly at 7.30. 

There are two open mic brackets, and the Poetry Handicap competition.

It’s gold coin donation.  Carol will be collecting on the night.  See you there!

Poetry evening, Launceston — Tuesday 12th April 2022

After a break, poetry is back in Launceston on Tuesday 12th April, in the back bar area of the Sports Garden Hotel, corner of George and Cimitiere Streets. It will be a re-launch of POETRY PEDLARS.

Arrive between 7 p.m. and 7.30 for a 7.30 reading start, but come earlier if you want to read in order to put your name down on the list.

 No Guest Reader this month (just in case the event attracts only a small audience due to Covid),  but “because of this we will have two reading brackets, so bring an extra poem or two to read…”

The competition for this month is to write a poem around the theme “It’s Pay day”  – however you interpret it.

Winner gets a bottle of wine and a book, as well as a certificate to say you’ve won.
