The British Press Meeting started in 1982 with the aim of allowing British-based Publishers to meet with

The Original Committee members were:-

• Michael Jack (Chairman)
• Dennis Earle
• Chris Lezard
• Dick Morris
• June Fellows (Secretary)

Past Chairmen of the committee have been:-

• Michael Jack (1983 – 1987)
• Dennis Earle (1987 – 1993)
• Kelvin Taverner (1993 – 1997)
• Richard Valder (1997 – 1998)
