2017 Slam Team Chosen

Hello all,

On May 17th 2017, at the Ambrosia Centre in downtown Victoria, we held our Slam Team Finals.
I, your blogger, was in Japan at the time, and am finally updating this page now, a wee bit late, but that's as may be.

Slam Finals Competitors were, in order of first round-
Hookshot
Catherine Garrett
Leslie
Pamela Stewart
Tanya Christie
Jeremy Loveday
Dana Neily
Sarah Wilson

We're sending 4 poets to Peterborough this year, after a short slam season of only 4 slams, due to another loss of venue, which is now corrected since we found the wonderful Caffe Fantastico.

The 4 poets who won Slam Finals are, from 1st place to 4th-
Jeremy Loveday
Tanya Christie
Pamela Stewart
Sarah Wilson

Tanya Christie stepped down and Catherine Garrett, who came in 5th, has taken her place.
We wish them all the best at the 2017 CFSW.
