When we scribble down our shopping lists, do we ever think what our handwriting says about us. Our speaker Anne Cummings, a graphologist, briefly told how the upper, middle and lower zones of our writing and the angle of slant define our personal traits and characteristics. She explained how graphology is used for psychological analysis, medical diagnosis and other various assessments. Some of our members anonymously submitted samples of their writing for scrutiny. I’m sure Ann’s evaluations were spot on but we will never know as the scribes didn’t owned up……… although we all had a very strong suspicion of who they were!! It was a very fascinating and interesting talk. The Clean for the Queen Campaign was discussed and we will join with other local institutes to support this campaign. In conjunction with the Queen’s 90th birthday this year, our institute is organising a London trip to Buckingham Palace to visit the State Rooms and also the exhibition Fashioning a Reign: 90 Years of Style from the Queen’s Wardrobe. I’m sure this will be a very enjoyable and memorable day out. The Craft Group have been very busy knitting and embellishing 23 Twiddlemuffs which will be distributed between Ludlow Hospital, The Royal Shrewsbury and Bradbrook House. The Twiddlemuffs have been found to be very therapeutic for the elderly and dementia patients. Our next meeting is at Caynham on 9th March and Barry Fewster will give us a talk on The Water Vole. We are always looking for new members and you can be assured of a warm and friendly welcome. SMW
