I agree on the less toted the better, maybe that's why I tot tatting/needle lace everywhere. I have found with bobbin lace, however, that having something other than yardage or a hanky edge is best. In fact my group often has a little flat pillow with a snake bookmark on it for people to try out bobbin lace. This last July 4th weekend I demoed with a tape lace bunny that the kids just loved - one girl came back 5 times over the course of the day to see if it was done yet (not hardly).
I also take my own chair. I know they often provide, but I'm short in stature and find that they usually have hard wood chairs where my feel can't touch the ground - thus cutting of circulations to my legs. If I'm staying more than 2 hours I haul out the fold-able captain's chair that's a perfect height for me. If I'm not comfortable I'm not happy sitting in the sun making lace and answering questions.
