Wenlock Poetry Festival - call for Friends and Helpers!

It seems that no sooner do we wrap up one poetry festival than we start on the next! The dates for next year are 13^th – 15^th April 2012, the weekend after Easter. We are hard at work already, and have identified some areas where we would be particularly glad of extra hands on deck. If you feel you have the skills, time and energy to help we would dearly love to hear from you. We are looking for help with 1) managing our team of volunteer helpers 2) publicity and marketing and 3) fund-raising. We are also absolutely thrilled that we now have enough knitted letter squares to make up our knitted poem, ‘Bees’ by Carol Ann Duffy. What we need now though is a small team of people to knit the squares up into what will be a pretty huge blanket! If you can help with this one task we would bite your hand off – except that you’ll need both hands for sewing, but you know what I mean! For all or any of the above, please contact me at the bookshop – 01952 727877 or email info@wenlockpoetryfestival.org. THANK YOU! Oh, and next year - can you help with hospitality for any of our artists? And - have you thought abouth becoming a Friend of the Festival? It's a great way to support the festival and to really be a part of it! Go to www.wenlockpoetryfestival.org for more information.
