This is just a reminder to one and all that the Borders Lacemakers' major annual Lace Day with speaker and suppliers takes place on Saturday 1st November at The Holiday Inn, Newport (South Wales). I think the ticket costs 4GBP but as price is not given on the ticket and everything bookish and craftyish is packed away in boxes while I have major work done on my house I can't look it up anywhere. If I'm wrong I will most certainly be corrected :-) A (set) lunch ticket costs an additional 5GBP. (That is on the ticket) Entry is by ticket only.
The entrance ticket is also a raffle ticket, quite separate from the raffle held for our charity this year. There is usually a good mix of suppliers. But the jewel in the crown is our speaker: Norman Willis. Forget about his career in trade unionism as he is speaking about another great love of his life - cross stitching/embroidery. Those of you who also cross stitch may have read his column in a cross stitching magazine. I read a letter to it which raved about the address he gave a meeting elsewhere in the country. I'm certainly very much looking forward to hearing him. For those interested tickets are available from: Jenny Hester, Cedar Bungalow, Clytha Park, Abergavenny, Gwent, NP7 9BW Tel: 01873 874466 Please make cheques payable to Borders Lacemakers and please, please enclose a stamped, self addressed envelope. This is always a most enjoyable day, one of the highlights of our lace year. Patricia in Wales [EMAIL PROTECTED] P.S. If in doubt about the total cost send a blank cheque with, written below the box for the amount in figures, "not to exceed 5 or 10 " depending on whether you want a lunch ticket. I have done this satisfactorily on more than one occasion.
