Braille WritingBraille writing demonstrations at Two Gates W.M.C16th August 1957 -- Although collections for the blind have been held at Two Gates Working Men's Club for several months it was not until quite recently that it was decided to purchase Braille writing machines for blind children. During the past two months the club has sent four machines to a school for blind children at Dorton Seale. The cost of these machines is over £13, but as the club buy them as a presentation they are available at £4 9s. The idea was conceived by Mr. J.T.Lewis, a railway worker who moved to Two Gates recently from Cardiff. When the first machine was bought it was displayed in the club for members to see what they had contributed towards. Demonstration And at the club on Friday a demonstration of the workings of the machines was given by Miss Lago of the Starr Inn, Tamworth. A teacher who not only looks after the children's welfare but also teaches them how to write, Miss Lago said the type of machine the club had given was the best available. Miss Bernadette Lewis presented Miss Lago with a bouquet. A vote of thanks was proposed by the chairman. Mr.R.Coffin. There have been enquiries from other clubs in the district who seem interested in carrying out a similar service.
