Anyone get the impression that Agnes can read it??? Probably helps
that she is Dutch by birth!! So Jean and Ilske, if you need a
translation it would seem you've found the solution (LOL - Agnes
won't talk to me now for suggesting that....)

Hello Jean
I too received one of these magazines from this organisation called
"Lace in Flanders", a not for profit organization (this is the vzw
bit behind the name).
I think I put my name down somewhere to receive a free copy, but
cannot remember where.
Their aim is promotion of the Flemish lace heritage, and they have
identified a need for the training of lace experts to pass on their
knowledge to future generations.
To achieve this, they are starting training of lace teachers in
Autumn 2010 (which will be modular in its setup).
They are not trying to belittle training available at the moment,
but believe theirs to be complimentary.
At the end of June "Kant in Vlaanderen vzw, will be accredited by
Unesco as an expert organisation as far as immaterial lace heritage
is concerned.
This is an abbreviated translation of the text on page 3.
The rest ar articles about lace and exhibitions.
Membership is 18euros in Belgium, 23euros in Europe and 26euros
outside of Europe.
Any other questions, please ask.
