Hi spiders I've just been catching up on digests as I've been unable to receive e.mail for the past few days (I'm back on line Alice) my DH (my Hero) has been able to sort out the mess I made of uninstalling spam pal! Anyway I digress. I have been reading the comments about the Convention and costs etc with interest and thought I'd add my pennyworth. A year or so back the OIDFA Conference was held in Nottingham, England. I had looked forward to attending for several years and when the details arrived I was very excited, when I came to read the details and costs (and worked out exactly what it would cost for the two of us to attend for the three days) I was very upset and decided that no way was I going to pay out at that rate, so my husband and I decided we wouldn't go. Instead we used that same amount to pay for a two week holiday for us and my son. We spent a week with a cousin near Dortmund and a week in the Erzgebirge region of Germany, we had a wonderful time lots and lots of lace to see and I completely forgot my disappointment about the convention because we had such a wonderful and envigorating time. The costs that the convention would have cost us covered the ferry, petrol for our car, accommodation, meals (except at my cousins where we were guests, but we did take them out for dinner a few times) and entry to museums etc. Spending money was extra. I'll say no more. Nicky in Suffolk.
