Another local Dulwich poet, and Spark's lover, Howard Sergeant, resigned his position on the Executive Council of the Poetry Society, and became an influential figure in setting up the Dulwich Poetry Group in 1949, and again, when it re-formed in 1959. Guest poets such as Stephen Spender, Laurie Lee, Dannie Abse, Marie Stopes, and Michael Croft are recorded as attending meetings at the pub during this first incarnation of the Dulwich Poetry Group. It is recorded that the audience was invited to an hour and three-quarters of readings by poets, for a suggested donation of one shilling. The first recorded sighting of Michael Croft in the Crown and Greyhound was in autumn 1950, after an Alleyn's School Old Boy was stopped on the street by a burly figure in a duffel coat who inquired amicably, "Where can an old sailor get a drink around here?" Croft was then 29 years old, and had just started teaching at the school.
