Poetry group banned from pub by council on health and safety grounds.
By Stephen Adams, 30 Oct 2008
A poetry group has been banned from performing in its local pub on health and safety grounds after the council said the landlords had the wrong licence.
The Royal Standard in Ely, Cambs, has been threatened with a £5,000 fine because it only has an entertainment licence for singing and not speaking.
The threat forced landlord Richard Whitmore to call time on the poetry group, called Turning Point, which has been drawing in customers on quiet Tuesday evenings.
