Our Team

We are always happy to hear from any of our members or potential members and anyone else who loves poetry. Our office-holders are listed below. 

This website is the best source of information on all our activities. Please check out the relevant section before you contact one of our officers. That said, if you haven’t found the answer to your question on this website, you may contact one of us as follows:

  • For general enquiries and matters affecting our association in general, please contact our President. 
  • For more information about becoming a member: our Secretary or our Membership Coordinator. 
  • For anything involving money (e.g. paying membership dues and renewals, requests to buy our annual Anthology, etc.) – our Treasurer. 
  • For information about national activities such as Workshops – our Workshop Coordinator.
  • For information about one of our competitions (the Bar Sagi or Reuben Rose prizes) – the administrator of that competition.
  • For anything related to our monthly newsletter – our Newsletter Editor. 
  • For anything related to our website: our Webmistress. 

Again, as said, all the information we think anyone could want about any of our activities is on this website, please check it out via the top menu before contacting an officer. Thank you.

If you are thinking of joining and would like to attend a local meeting as a guest, please contact the relevant area coordinator. We look forward to seeing you!
