Hi Everyone

You might be interested to know that I've just cooked a gammon joint for tea.  After removing it from the oven, the instructions advised me to let it rest for five minutes before serving.  Surely it's me that should be entitled to a rest?  I mean, all the ham did was sit in the oven for an hour while I, your humble narrator, was busy peeling the spuds, chopping the veg and setting the bloody table!

Things are a little bit quiet this weekend.  After all, we can't keep up our maximum red hot pace all the time and can do with taking a breather now and then.  However, we do find time to bring you another OPEN PAGE/OPEN STAGE on Sunday.

A monthly collaborative event for writers, artists, musicians, and everyone in between! The premise is an extension of the traditional ‘open mic’, however the focus is on words and collaboration. We want people to come and showcase their art in a safe and comfortable environment. If you’re an artist, bring your work early on so we can hang it around. If you write – poetry, prose, songs, plays – bring a piece or an excerpt. Actors – come and practice for auditions! If you play an instrument, bring it along! Think of the evening as a cross-creative spectrum jam night.

We’re open at 7pm and it’s absolutely FREE!

That's everything for another week, just to remind you that we are, as always, at 30 Silver Street, Reading, RG1 2ST (If you pop it into your satnav or Google, we shall magically appear!)

Have a nice weekend!

Hi Everyone

Hope you're "enjoying" the novelty of grey skies, rain and other things that many of us at Rising Sun HQ like to describe as "cricket weather".
