We were delighted with the turn out for the fabulous Heather Wastie who had braved not only the weather but also illness and injury to be with us.
The upstairs room at The Sozzled Sausage soon filled up and all the very comfy leather sofas fully utilised!! We had to quickly grab some garden chairs to accomodate everyone! Moral of this story- arrive early for the comfy seats!
Thanks to the very helpful landlord, Greg, who stayed open late specially on Sunday for PureandGoodandRight.
Thanks everyone!

Next event Sunday 28 November
Our next Open Mic poetry event takes place on Sunday 28 November at 7.30pm at our brand new venue, The Sozzled Sausage, Leamington Spa CV32 4NX.
How to get to The Sozzled Sausage.
Each month we invite a fabulous guest performance poet. This month we are delighted to have with us the highly amusing and very clever Heather Wastie.
Heather Wastie is a wordsmith, humorist and musician with a rich professional life as poet, composer, singer, songwriter, keyboard player and facilitator. She has published 3 illustrated poetry collections and often uses technology to create innovative pieces including music, spoken word and found sound. She is proud to be winner of the first PureandGoodandRight Poetry Slam in August 2010!
She has been described as multi-talented, a polymath, and it has been said that her work is clever, sophisticated, funny, touching, original, quirky, probing and poignant. On November 28th, at our fantastic new venue, she will attempt to live up to this reputation by performing poems and songs which represent and illuminate the range of her work to date.

Great news! A new home for PureandGoodandRight
At last we have found a brand new venue we think we can reliably call home...we are all really excited!....
Announcing the fantastic pub- The Sozzled Sausage, 141 Regent Street, Leamington Spa CV32 4NX
The landlords have been very welcoming and enthusiastic about our performance poetry night. They have had the pub for just 8 months and in that time have really turned it round into a popular town venue.
The decor is eclectic, with plenty going on on other nights of the week and, amongst other things, a good selection of local beers. You can eat there too! The space we have to use is just great! It is a private upstairs room, a bit like The Fox only more upmarket and warmer! There are lovely leather settees, great decor, a bar......helping to create that cosy intimate space that is conducive to performing our poetry.
Look forward to seeing you all there on 28 November!!

A poem for our blog from Maggie Doyle
It's such a pleasant, peaceful place
Your wonderful Blog page
And perfectly acceptable
To poets of any age
And so with pen in ageing hand
When I feel the need to write
I will, with speed, (well as quick as I can)
And send it to your site.
