Kenilworth: MEETING CANCELLED

Wed 13th May 2020 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm BST

  • « Bromsgrove: Members’ Help Session – Are you stuck? – CANCELLED
  • Outing to The National Archives – CANCELLED »

Parliament Square’s first monument to a woman, Millicent Fawcett, and also its first sculpture by a woman, Gillian Wearing, marks 100 years since some women won the right to vote and was unveiled on 24 April 2018.

DUE TO COVID-19, CONSIDERING THE DEMOGRAPHIC OF OUR GROUP AND FOLLOWING ADVICE FROM THE GOVERNMENT, THE KENILWORTH BRANCH COMMITTEE HAS DECIDED TO CANCEL THIS MEETING.

WE HOPE TO BE ABLE TO RE-BOOK THE SPEAKER IN 2021.

The meeting was to have been:

ABM & ‘The Blind Postmaster General and the Suffragist’

This meeting will be preceded by the ABM which should take no time at all.

This will be followed with a talk by Alan Godfrey FRPSL.

The story of the lives of Henry Fawcett MP and his wife Millicent Garrett Fawcett. Henry was blinded at age 25, but went on to become a reforming Liberal MP and PMG. He introduced many innovations at the Post Office. Millicent was leader of the 50,000 strong NUWSS and was mainly responsible

for obtaining votes for women in 1918.
