It's the Bay Days Festival Opening Night: ‘Read, Recite or Rave at the R&R’ Fri 2 Sept. Join us to celebrate the start of the 2011 festival with ‘Read, Recite or Rave at the R&R’ in Picnic Bay. Dot Church (winner of the Queensland Novice Bush Poetry Award) will be your MC to introduce beginners and pros alike. Poetry’s first inclusion into the 2010 festival was a big hit, as well as spurring on poetry sessions since, this is guaranteed to be a popular night! Bring a friend, poetry and prose. All invited. This is your chance to show what you can do with a mike, a poem, an audience, wax lyrically and have a LOT of fun. All welcome. Cost: Gold Coin Donation Appreciated. Starts at 7pm. Dinner available until 8pm.
