Invitation to participate in the development of our Website and Social Media Content
Having recently taken over the management of this website and of our social media sites, I thought it an appropriate time to review their content and usage in order to identify developments that might increase participation. Consequently members will have received an email from me which details a number of proposals with these objectives in mind. I’m seeking feedback on these ideas and any other suggestions that will improve the content and operation of these sites.
Welcome to our new Secretary
Welcome to OUP’s new secretary Kimberley Pulling. Kimberley has taken on the role of secretary as Adrian Green steps down.
Our sincere thanks to Adrian for all his good work over the years. Adrian remains a committee member, so his kindness and wisdom is not lost to us.
Competitions
Openings 35 is launched
The 2018 OUPĀ anthology is published! With thanks to editor Sue Spiers and collator Alice Harrison.
At the end of the year OUP members vote for their favourite poems from the workshop magazines, and the most popular appear in Openings, our anthology. The publication of Openings has been an annual event from 1981. The anthology is as broad-based as the organisation and reflects the varied backgrounds, interests and tastes of the members.
The OUP anthology for 2018 is Openings 35, you can get your copy sent directly to you, see below for details.
