[lace] Lace-in-relay

2006-02-03 Thread Jean Nathan
Getting publicity for lacemaking from this would be good. Don't know how it 
works, but has anyone thught of trying to get an entry in the Guiness Book 
of Records for a world record of the largest nunber of people making lace at 
the same time. Don't really think it would be feasible because I think there 
has to be an approved moderator present, and there'd be too many venues for 
that. Just a thought.

 I love the idea of a 24-hour lacemaking relay.  But September 
 seemes a long time to wait!  Can we have a trial run first?

Sounds to me like this should be separate from the UK National Lace Day 
and become a new, International Lace Day.  It would run from date-line 
through AUstralia/New Zealand and Asia, across Africa and Europe to the 
Americas, and end in the Pacific at the date line again.  Just like 
following New Year's Day celebrations.

Since it's date-line to date-line, you can pick whatever date you 
like.  How about the Arachne list's anniversary date in APril?  Then it 
can be an annual event, if it works well.

  It would be neat if we can get something like this organized.  This might 
also be a great opportunity to get lacemakers into the media.  Perhaps 
participants could get some exposure in local media: Twenty four straight

[lace] Lace-in relay

2006-01-31 Thread Laceandbits
Sheila's post gave me the idea that perhaps sometime we coild have a lace-in 
relay - perhaps on the UK National Lacemaking Day in September.  With several 
organisers around the world we could keep it going for the full 24 hours until 
it comes back home.  

Six people doing four hour stints, or eight at three hours.  But do we have a 
wide enough spread of people around the time-zones to make it work?  Just an 
idle fancy that it would be weird to know that for a full 24 hours, someone 
somewhere in the world is making lace.  That is probably often the case anyway, 
but we don't know about it, so it doesn't count.

To address how the second on-line meeting came about, it was the more
possible because as Margot told us,  the real members weren't able to
attend the real meeting. Margot saw a chance and took it ;)
I think if we can operate on those terms, everyone, somewhere, will
have a chance to take part at one time or another. Planning a 'relay'
is interesting too.
Well, I have to leave to run errands!

The idea is fine, but we do normally hold the day on a Saturaday which could make things more difficult.

It's a bit more complicated than that, but not much.  First, about a day 
and a half before the meeting,  I asked who wanted to participate and I 
made a 'Group' in my email programme's address book.  Then shortly 
before the get-together started, I sent an email to the group, opening 
the session.  People kept asking to join in after the session started, 
so I kept adding them to the group and sending out new emails so the 
participants would have the new names.  That's basically it.  I think it 
helped that 1 - I have high speed hook-up 2 - I set my programme to 
check for messages every minute and 3 - I moved my lace making table 
next to my computer.  When people dropped out as time went on, I left 
them in the group.  Some of them asked to keep getting the messages and 
I didn't want to spend the time deleting them and sending out new lists.
