Critters

Today, I passed a copy of my latest chapter to two of my beta readers. The notes I received: "Cool" and "you need better handwriting." (Yes, I hand write first copies).

I was a little disappointed, because I was hoping for more constructive advice (Do I really want to keep that paragraph? Was that funny? Does that make sense?) While criticism isn't my best friend, but at this moment a little bit would be useful.

So, I guess what I'm asking is if anyone has any advice on how to set up a critique group. I'd really like to have people to turn to for writing criticism and advice.
