Tamara Cancellation, Whoa there .... Tamara , I read your cancelation posting, are you sure you are not a bit hasty in cancelling .
I mostly lurk, but could not help going to the keyboard to tell you ( and I suppose that goes for others faced with full house notices, as well ) that here are more hotels in Groningen than the ones listed ,in the IODFA registration packet ,not to mention B&B's ( there is even a B&B in a windmill in Groningen ! )and guest houses ( pensions ) cottages etc,etc. just click in on all these options and surf and surf and surf and you will find something When some of the Simcoe County Lacemakers could not afford the Hotel fee's in Montreal we found more affordable accommodation by surfing For the other hotels in Groningen, you can get information and bookings & sometimes better prices, on line in many many languages , including Polish b.t.w. Groningen tourist information may also be a good resource. I so dearly wish I could go, as my aunt of about my age , whom I attended high school with, and a number of cousins live in a suburb of Groningen Jo is correct to tell you distances are quite different in the Netherlands than in North America e.g. the next largest city near Groningen is the city of Leeuwarden ,for North American idea's, only a hop skip and a jump, 58 km. to be exact, from Groningen with good public transportation Understandable finances are a very large consideration ,however i.m.h.o. in your haste to cancel you may possibly not have explored all your options and miss, what promises to be a great European Lace experience .
