<< Dear Margery I was thinking about you yesterday - about asking you a favour. I have not subscribed to Arachne, mainly because I don't have the time to spend on it, but at present would like some information about lace in New Zealand. I wonder if you could find out for me how popular lacemaking is in NZ, are there areas where it is popular, are there groups, are there National organisations like the Lace Guild, Lacemakers Circle etc. Are there classes? If it is difficult to find out the information, please ignore the request. Now that my City and Guilds course is finished, I thought I would have more time, but it has turned out not to be the case. >> --------- Dear Margery (and Avital), You can tell your friend to do a computer search (I don't know the search system in NZ, but it will be something like Google) and put in the search box: "New Zealand Lace Society". I tested this. Several web site listings will pop up that your friend can then view in detail. It would seem to me that anyone in New Zealand could refer her to the nearest group. As is so often the case in questions to Arachne, no specific location is given - and travel distances in New Zealand appear to be great on my maps. I am sending a copy of this recommendation to Arachne, to help avoid duplications, and to remind the members of Arachne that **your computer's search capability is one of the great services available on the internet**.
