Manchester Poetry Festival

The Manchester Poetry Festival guys are offering complimentary tickets to community groups again this year.  Ideally the tickets are for residents who would potentially find the cost of these events prohibitive. 

They can offer up to 10 comp tickets for each of the events listed below (have also attached some copy for further information) - should hopefully provide an interesting selection.

Can you please ask groups to let us know which events they want to attend by 30th September - we will also need a contact for each group leader so we can liaise with them re. ticket delivery. Post in comments if you wish to get a Chorlton Civic Society group together
