MNG fundraiser this Sunday

The Monday Night Group (MNG) is one of Manchester’s longest running writing groups. It meets weekly and is open to anyone and everyone wanting to meet fellow writers and get feedback on their work. We are pleased to announce the conception of the group’s third comprehensive anthology.

However, we don’t have the money to cover the costs of producing this publication. That’s where you lovely people come in! We are throwing a fundraising party at The Gas Lamp, with lots of amazingly fun things planned such as:

A Spoken word event featuring Dominic Berry, Rod Tame & Marvin Cheeseman. Open mic slots start at 7pm and are available on a first come first served basis (you can post on the page to pre-book a slot.)

A quiz for all you competitive types, with some awesome prizes to be won

Homecooked hot food and homebaked cakes

And more fun and games on the night!

£3 on the door, £4 if you want to take part in the quiz, £6 for the quiz and a hot meal (Veggiies catered forl!)

Amazing New Single Malt Selection!

Just so that everyone can get an idea of how we’ve extended the range here is the (still in progress) updated menu regarding our single malt selection…

Whisky is liquor made from fermented grains. Originating in the 1100’s its name derives from the Gaelic ‘uisge’ shortened from ‘uisge beatha’ meaning the water of life.  As far as Scotch goes, the different regions often have some basic characteristics in common and that can be a good place to start or continue your journey.
