Sue,
Please accept the Guild's apologies for the long delay, and thank you
for your patience. We suspect that the overseas magazines were sent out
surface mail by the mailing house (which should not have happened), and
they may not have been processed as quickly as we would have liked
before posting - as you quite rightly say they should have been posted
at the end of April. Certainly items can still be sent from the UK by
surface mail, which tends to take around six to eight weeks. We
discussed possible solutions to this problem at our Exec meeting last
weekend and hopefully you will receive your magazines a lot faster from
now on - the first issue of the new membership year is due out at the
end of this month, and we are well aware that there may be some late
renewals!.
If any other overseas members of The Lace Guild have not received their
April magazine (which had the renewal slip sent with it) yet, can they
contact the Hollies, please? Email holl...@laceguild.org Membership
rates are the same as last year, as they were not increased at the AGM.

G'day all,
My English Lace magazine arrived here in Masterton, New Zealand, yesterday.
Say, for the sake of argument that it was posted on the last day of April,
it has taken two and a half months to get here!! I was on the point of
e-mailing the Hollies to say I had been missed off the list. It seems to me
that they are using the cheapest postage rate they can, in an effort to
reduce costs. It was my understanding that there is now no sea mail between
NZ and UK, but there must some really old airplanes on this route if it is
taking so long!!! The thing that alerted me to the fact that my mag had not
yet arrived was that I was aware that subs were due and I usually paid mine
by the end of June. Hopefully they won't take us off the mailing list just
yet!!
Sincerely,
Sue Fink,
Masterton, New Zealand
