So, that means I can be excused from translating.
Many thanks Jo.

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)

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.

I too, got one of this magazines. But, as Agnes wrote, I can't remember having 
given my address somewhere but didn't somebody tell us over the list of 
something free about some weeks ago? 
My problem is it took me too long to read it because I can't Netherlands, what 
a pity.

I have received a magazine, presumably from Belgium, and I don't know why.

It's a sort of beigy colour and the front cover has a square box at the 
top left containing 'Kant in Vlaanderen', and the word Filum at the bottom 
of the front cover. The magazine is written in "foreign", with no English 
translation, so I have no idea what any of it says. The list of contact 
names on the inside front cover are Lydia Mertens, Helena Fransens, 
Marijke Mannaerts, Brigitte Croes, Monique Saquet and Marie-Rose Delahaye 
all with email addresses @kantinvlaanderen.be.


I did subscribe to 'Kant' magazine a few years back, but stopped about 4 
years ago. This is nothing like that magazine - it just has articles I 
can't read and photographs. Anyone know what it's all about?
