REUNION – JUBILEE AND PRESENT ACTIVITIES<\/b>

\n“In the 1990s, there was a reunion and relaunch at the Koko building in Spon End. After an initial busy programme, activities were toned down to the present level. Times have changed and people have many more opportunities and demands on their time than was the case in the 50s and 60s, however there is still a desire for people interested in the arts to meet together in order to participate in and discuss the various media.”<\/p>\n

Anthology – UNDER THE UMBRELLA<\/b>
\nAfter we did the poetry reading for CWR in August 2005 we published a booklet of the poems that were read.<\/p>\n

We called it ‘Under the Umbrella, a Jubilee Anthology<\/i>‘. The first edition sold out at the Jubilee Social and there is now a second edition with a few extra poems we thought were pertinent to our jubilee year.<\/p>\n

We chose a yellow cover as it was our golden year.
\nThe design on the cover is based on the famous umbrellas statue which used to be in the front window at Queen Victoria Road.
\nIt was drawn by Bill Mann.<\/p>\n

Copies are available at meetings or by post.
\nCost is \u00a32 to members and \u00a32.50 to non-members plus postage.<\/p>\n

It is now available at The Herbert shop and at The Tin Angel in Spon Street, also for \u00a32-50<\/p>\n

Martyn Richards<\/b> recalls ” Coventry’s Heaventree Press<\/b>, with whom club and members had established published links, arranged an hour-long recording session for Umbrella Poets<\/b>. This took place at the re-emerging BBC Radio Coventry & Warwickshire Station<\/i>. Seven poets read 23 poems during the lunch-time of the 11th August 2005.<\/p>\n

Two of the poems were played from the tape by BBC CWR<\/b> at 7.36 and 7.38 pm on the 12th September 2005. This was during an interview with the station’s “poet laureate”.<\/p>\n

I was spurred to suggest that all of these poems be assembled into our own book – “UNDER The UMBRELLA<\/b>” – in time for our 50th Anniversary.<\/p>\n

Hard work produced a limited print of these broadcast poems in time for our Golden Jubilee. It quickly sold out.<\/p>\n
