Local artist Al Davison is best known for his graphic novels, illustrations and martial arts demonstrations, but on May 8^th he shows another of his talents. His one man show "The Spiral Cage: Scar Tissue" draws on the family and personal history which brought his books "The Spiral Cage" and "Spiral Dreams" widespread acclaim and respect. Al Davison's entertaining and powerful performance culminates in his struggle to overcome "disability", the prejudice that surrounds it, and his mission to end a cycle of astonishing events in his family's history. His story spans 100 years from the suffragette movement, death, war, imprisonment, love and attempted murder. Al said "I have performed this show all over Britian, but this is the first performance since I opened my studio here in Coventry. I've revised it to include more of my family's history, including my great aunt Emily Davison, the Suffragette who famously died under the king's horse at the Derby in 1913.

AGM Guest Speakers

Both the Police and West Midlands Fire Service gave very interesting talks with slideshows and with question and answer sessions. The theme was personal safety and we were given some very useful information. You can find leaflets and information at the office. We were offered free home safety checks by the Fire Service. You can find out more and contact them for a free check by clicking here (scroll down page) or on the Links button. Both Service's offered to come and do a presentation for all those that missed it. If enough people are interested we can make the arrangements. Please contact Janet at the office or leave a message.
