THE week of February 27th – March 5th was Eating Disorders Awareness Week and some of our members wore silly socks for a day for Beat, the charity which tackles myths and misun- derstandings surrounding these serious mental illnesses. Continuing the theme of men-


tal health, at our March meeting members learned about Victori- an workhouses and asylums, in a talk given by David Phelan. In particular, David focused on St Audry’s at Melton, a workhouse built in 1764 to provide indoor relief for the poor of the parish. Despite appalling conditions, workhouses were better than liv- ing on the streets and families entered them voluntarily. Once inside, they were separated into men, women, boys and girls. There was basic medical care


and children received three hours of education a day. When it was found to be losing money, St Audry’s closed in 1826. It was reopened in 1829 as an asy- lum for pauper lunatics. Condi- tions inside were inhumane until 1832 when John Kirkman became its first medical officer. He believed in “moral treat- ment”: treating patients with kindness and healthy exercise outdoors to restore their sanity. In 1958 the development of the first psychiatric drugs meant people could be treated at home, and in 1993 St Audry’s was closed. With increasing awareness of


mental health issues, this was a most interesting and informative evening. A vote of thanks to David was given by Anne Bar- ratt.

READING for pleasure is a globally recognised indicator in a huge range of social issues from poverty to mental health. That’s one of the reasons why Woodbridge Library works so hard to inspire more and more people - from the youngest chil- dren upwards - to read. At any one time about 10,000 books are out on loan from our library, in the homes and hands of many of the area’s 25,000 library users. World Book Night is an inter-


Judge:


national event to encourage people to share their love of reading and celebrate the differ- ence that reading makes to peo- ple’s lives and takes place in April each year. It’s similar to the very successful World Book Day for children that happens in March when many children dress up in the costume of their favourite book character. This year Woodbridge Library


is celebrating with a World Book Night Quiz on Wednesday 26th April. It’s a quiz with a differ- ence, testing your knowledge of


things like sport, food, film and television but with a bookish slant. The librarians have got together to create the questions; members of the Friends of Woodbridge Library will be run- ning the evening. (The librarians are not allowed to enter a team!) Proceeds will go towards the work of the Friends. Their cur- rent aim is to equip the library with mobile shelving. The quiz will start at 7.30pm,


with the library doors opening half an hour beforehand to enable teams to get together, have a snack or a drink and pre- pare themselves for the evening ahead. Teams should be no more than six people and the cost of entry is £3 per person and teams should bring their own refresh- ments. To book a table please phone the library (01394 446510) or call in person. You will be asked to provide a team name (make it as memorable as possible!) and some contact details.
