17/04/2013 The slam final is nearly here! Preparations for the event are underway and the Poetry Rivals team cannot wait for the event! It’s going to be an amazing day. This year we have had more tickets purchased for the Slam Finals than ever before! We have had to split the under 18s schedule into two events to cater for this! I am honoured to be part of this event and support each and every finalist invited. Good luck to all attending and I will see you on Saturday 20th April at The Burghley Club.
