The Toongabbie Music Club here in Sydney meets each fortnight on a Friday night in the local Scouts Hall. We sit in a circle and each performer is allowed two songs or poems at a time . This continues around the circle all evening , being interrupted only by supper. The second Friday meeting of each month is a "theme " night ( eg places , human body parts, people's names etc) All good fun and not compulsory . In winter we have a log fire at which poets are allowed special permission to recite...it is titled appropriately "Poets Corner" or even Poets Cornered ! It seems to work as attendances have been increasing over the past 3 or 4 years and a good time is had by all AD
