Don't forget Them Westhope Group who were all Guinea Pigs, as they were named, being a small selection who were the first to sit the City & Guilds Lace examination. One had to be invited to join the group and numbers were limited to the number of beds available at Anne Dyer's residence. I recall Sue Willoughby (chair of The UK Lace Guild at that time) Cynthia Voysey and Susanne Thompson both renowned for their expertise in Honiton Lace, Barbara a Underwood of Bedfordshire fame, Ann Collier contemporary bobbin and Needlelace, Carol Williamson Needlelace and several others whose names I cannot recall at this moment. Ann Collier, Susanne Thompson and myself were the three assessors who assessed the practical work of The Guinea Pigs.
