I am writing on behalf of the Central Coast Poets to ask you to bring the the attached notice for the Henry Kendall Poetry Award for 2012 to the attention of your members Due to circumstances beyond our control this notice has been delayed and the closing date is quite soon so your urgent consideration of our request would be much appreciated.

Thanking you in anticipation,

David, this notice should probably go to the organisation itself. This site is merely a register of information about the organisation.
