Pam Bayfield - President
My name is Pam Bayfield, the President of the Society of Women Writers, New South Wales. Please consider this page your portal to the world of Australian writing and to our authors who are as fascinating and wonderful today as those women writers who founded the society back in 1925.
All of our activities are managed and conducted by an annually elected committee, all of whom contribute their time free of charge. It has been my objective as president and host to make sure that each luncheon meeting is enjoyable, that the food and beverages are well served, and that the speeches are stimulating and memorable, giving the audience a real insight into different aspects of writing fiction, non-fiction and poetry.
From this page, you can navigate to the different sections that hopefully will satisfy your curiosity. If you wish a quick answer, the FAQ section has a range of questions and answers that may be helpful.
Thank you for visiting the Society of Women Writers NSW Inc. We hope you’ll come and visit us again or – even better – please come to one of our lunches and meet us in person.
Meetings & Workshops
Luncheon meetings are held from 12 noon to 2.30pm on the second Wednesday of each month (excluding January) in the Dixson Room at the State Library of NSW, at which event there is always a renowned guest speaker on a topic of writing interest. These meetings are informative, inspirational and convivial occasions. A writing workshop is conducted from 10.00am to 11.30am on the morning of each meeting. Visitors are welcome to attend workshops and luncheon meetings. Members and visitors are required to make luncheon reservations no later than 10am on the Monday preceding each meeting, by phoning Margo Ruckert on 02 9153 0621 or Eunice Lovell on 02 9959 5568.
