My name is Charlotte Henson and I run an open mic poetry night based in Bury, The Met. It is on the first Sunday of every month from 7:30pm and entry is just £2. We have nationally and internationally acclaimed guest poet booked for the coming year, including John Siddique, Dominic Berry, and Jo Bell. There is a prize of an online publication available every month for the best open mic-er, voted for by the audience.

For those new to this whole "open mic"thing, it's where you get up and read/ perform a poem you've written (you can read someone else's if you want, just give them credit!). Performance poetry is not something many budding poets are introduced to, so it's an excellent opportunity to learn about a whole genre of poetry you're perhaps not familiar with.

If anyone's interested, let me know and I'll put your name down for the open mic. (a note to moderators: I have no idea if this is in the right section, feel free to move it.)
i never met a more impossible girl.
