As the editor of Suffolk Lacemakers newsletter I would just like to point out that I am unable to include details of any event of which I have no knowledge. I am always requesting information about events to include in the SLM newsletter, because we endeavour to keep our members informed of such things.
You know me, you have my address, you have sent copy to me before, you are a member of SLM and so receive a copy of our newsletter and know when it is published. It is up to you to let me know of your events in writing as is normal procedure.
Your implication that I did not include your event in our newsletter is verging on slander which I do not take kindly to.

Hi All,
A great day was had yesterday! I hosted an 'At Home' Lacemaking Day - it was
advertised in Essex Lace Makers newsletter, but unfortunately not advertised
in the Suffolk Lace Makers Newsletter, so we had a lounge full of mainly Essex
ladies - and my students - making lace, with a lot of gossip, and the new
faces quickly became good friends!
But - because we only had the Essex contingent this time, several there
thought it would be a good idea to make sure that it was advertised a little
more widely, so if anyone is in the UK, in the Suffolk area, between Ipswich
and Colchester - or within reach of there - on June 22nd, get in touch with
me, and I'll let you have directions to find the house. Although we live in
a very small village (one general shop, a part-time post office, but umpteen
pubs!) we are easy to reach as the A12 goes right beside the village. We
met at about 10.30 am, and the last person left about 4.15 pm - they all
brought their lunches, and those who had pillow stands brought them too.
Coffee, tea and cakes were provided, my husband was banished to the study and
the small upstairs TV room for the day - and it really was most enjoyable.
The idea of the 'At Home' was, I think, formed over twenty-five years ago - it
was going strong when I joined Essex Lace Makers about 1978, with ladies
coming from all over the county - as well as Suffolk and a couple from
Norfolk, if I remember rightly! - for a day making lace, so I was pleased to
be able to revive these days. So - if anyone can manage to get to us, do let
me know and I'll give you directions - we all enjoyed the day, and it would be
nice to meet other local lace-makers, in a more relaxed setting, where we can
make lace, chat, and get to know each other.
