A Note from the Treasurer

Friendly Street Poets financially strong despite COVID-19

I hope all members are keeping well during our suspension of monthly meetings. Remember that not all activities are suspended and, in particular, you can submit via the website HERE to have poems considered by the editors for inclusion in the FSP Anthology #45.

The shutdown is having an effect on FSP’s financial situation, but we remain strong. With no monthly First-Monday meetings, we are, of course, not collecting door entries. These add up to 15-20% of annual revenue, so they are important. We are likely to miss out on these for most of this year.  … Click for more

FSP meetings and the coronavirus covid-19 pandemic

The next city meeting of FSP was due for Monday 6th April and was to include the AGM and launch of the latest FSP Anthology. Because of the coronavirus covid-19 pandemic and the conditions required to mitigate its spread, this meeting will not be held. 

We are looking at ways of running a minimal AGM on-line to meet our statuary requirements. 

It is totally unknown at the moment when it will be safe to have face-to-face meetings again.

Stay tuned for more details soon … and keep healthy!
