that has engulfed the Poetry Society seems to have come out of a cloudless sky. Membership is up, audiences are up and the society has been one of the big winners from Arts Council England's most recent round of funding, with grants increased 30% to £360,000.But after a month which has seen the society's president Jo Shapcott, its director Judith Palmer, and its financial officer Paul Ranford, all hand in their resignations, some members are demanding that the society's board be called to account.
And with the final funding agreement with the Arts Council England (ACE) yet to be settled, the fallout could put the society's financial plans in jeopardy.
