Hotchpotch Dundee: Latest Bulletin

Reminder of next Hotchpotch meeting: Wed 11 Sep at Blend on Dock Street, 6:00pm for 6:30pm

Good evening,

A reminder that our next event is on Wednesday 11 September at Blend on Dock Street. The doors open at 6:00pm, and the readings begin at 6:30pm.

This takes an open-mic format where each reader is given a five-minute timeslot on a first-come basis to read poems and/or stories. There is no pressure to read; many people come along just to be part of the audience.

We also collect donations on the night to allow us to hire the venue. General admission is £2, or free of charge if you’re unwaged. Remember that buying cakes and coffee from Blend also helps us with the hire charge. Take a look at our donations page for more information.

Also, note that Eilidh and I will be experimentally swapping roles, with her on the stage and me taking names. Otherwise, everything remains the same, including that Hotchpotch is not a place to heckle or interrupt while readers are on stage. Anyone being disruptive may be asked to leave.

Finally, here are some other events brought to our attention by members:

• On Monday 9 September at 8:45pm, our own Eilidh is hosting a free online talk with Pro Writing Aid called Conflict that Hits Hard: Tension that Leaves a Mark. Find out more about this and other talks below:

• The Dundee Fringe will be at the Keiller Centre from Friday 13 September to Sunday 22 September. A number of Hotchpotch members are taking part, so rather than listing them individually, have a look at the full Dundee Fringe programme:
