Greenwich, Meantime Poets
Contact: Jane McLaughlin (janemirandamcl @ aol.co.uk)

We share local poetry news and successes, workshop our own poems and occasionally study well-known or chosen poets. We have taken part in local readings at venues such as the Made in Greenwich gallery and also two great Stanza Bonanzas. We are always pleased to welcome new members whether new or established poets; one member described the group recently as ‘sparkly’: there is always lots of lively discussion and constructive (but incisive!) feedback on work.

Southwark
Contact: Helen Adie (Hellieadie @ yahoo.co.uk)

We are alternating readings/performances in bookshops/rehearsal spaces across the borough with work-in-progress meetings, seated at a table and are always looking for venues.
