Stratford Guild's Wednesday 6 October talk - 'Forged signatures and how to detect them'

The Guild's next meeting is on Wednesday 8 October starting at 7.30 pm in the Reading Room, Stratford Road SP1 3LL.

John Jameson-Davis, an acknowledged expert in handwriting and document examining, will give a fascinating and entertaining talk on forensic handwriting examination to illustrate the trail of clues that lie within pen strokes. The speaker has provided the following information:

About The Talk...

"My approach is to educate and entertain. I have a jolly sense of humour and enjoy making my audiences laugh as they learn about a serious subject. As a performer on stage (mainly comedy roles in Shakespeare), I enjoy entertaining and bring a light touch to my talks.

Using a projector to illustrate, I explain the basic principles of examining Questioned Signatures (those which have been challenged or doubted for some reason, perhaps on a Will or other document).

I enjoy entertaining my audiences by leading them through the twists and turns of forensic handwriting examination in The Detection of Forged Signatures."
