No there was no postage, all the money was provided by the company and they even reinbursed the teacher for her petrol to collect the eqipment and her time. The idea was that the company basically subsidised our learning of the skill. It was a wonderful time though because each year we had a massive craft fair of things made by people who worked for the company and they hired the local town hall to show everything off to both employees and members of the public. You could exhib anything from home made wine to carpentry. L

It is an 18" SMP polystrene which my lace teacher sold to me for £8 together with a cover and a cover cloth. It was only when I went to my first Springett's fair that september did I realise that I could have bought direct from them and got it cheaper. <snipped> - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
