The world's first and biggest Left handed ShopHappy Left-Handers Day!
Welcome
Welcome to the official site for the Left-Handers Club, and the 17th annual celebration of left-handers superiority!! All year round, we fit in with home and office layouts designed for right-handers’ comfort – put up with doors, cookers, sinks, computer mice, keyboards and desks that are efficient for right-handers to work at, and hundreds of times every day we contort ourselves using back-to-front tools and gadgets that make us look clumsy and awkward in our efforts to make them to work…
But NOT TODAY! Because on this special day, it is your chance to GET YOUR OWN BACK on your right-handed friends colleagues and family, by designating your personal space as a LEFTY ZONE where everything must be done left-handed! Download our unique Lefty Zone posters for prominent display, plus any others from our selection of FREE LEFT-HANDERS DAY POSTERS, re-arrange the room for your convenience, and settle down to enjoy this site, totally dedicated to YOU
Left-Hander of the year 2008
This has been a fantastic year for left-handed achievement and success in a variety of fields, so we have created a Left-Hander of the Year award to celebrate this, with the winner to be announced on Left-Handers Day. Club Members have been busy nominating their outstanding left-hander and there were 5 clear favourites shortlisted.

Getting the message out
The media are always hugely supportive of our efforts, and the Left-Handers Club promote the Day in radio, TV and press interviews both in the UK and worldwide. The picture shows the presenters of Childrens BBC Programme Xchange with LHC Organiser Lauren Milsom, her son Tom and daughter Katie who took part in the show.
We do a press release about The Day to hundreds of media contacts worldwide and we normally get extensive coverage on TV and Radio as well as hundreds of articles in newspapers and magazines plus a lot of interest from other websites and blogs. There are also a huge number of local and national reports and articles on the Day.

Left-Handed Life Choices Survey
Each year we aim to raise awareness of a major issue affecting left-handers around the world and for 2007 we are looking at career and other choices to see whether they are influenced by being left-handed.
We have started a survey among Left-handers Club members to find out whether there are more or less left-handers than the normal 10% in their work, sport or social groups and what advantages and disadvantages for left-handers may affect their choices of career and other groups.
Background information on the survey

I am not exactly sure how I ended up here but I thought I would give it a mention that I am left handed and was born on the 13th of August. Therefore this website is all about me. So cheers. Nice being famous and all that.

I'm Left handed and lately I've been thinking about left-handed day.
On every mother and father's day I used to always ask my mom why there was no children's day.
She replied by saying what her father would say to her, that every day is children's day.
So while I do like the idea of having a holiday in honor of our handedness, I think it does sort of imply that every other day belongs to the rest of the world, the righties.
I did not write this comment because I'm obbsessed with left handed rights, I'm just interested in, and proud of, my left hand. (And I know you'll all say that I'm reading into this waaaaaay too much...)
