I will > have to start looking into this seriously! Anyone interested in lace will be welcome at the OIDFA Congress in Prague, and activities are being planned for all. There will be classes, lectures, tours, .. the lot. This summer, prices were certainly lower than in France or Germany.. Restaurant prices in particular were very cheap. There are hotels and pensions in all categories. Bus and metro travel is also a very good buy. I have already sent information to Arachne about coming to the Congress next year. I was there this summer and found Prague a very easy city to access. People are friendly and most seem to understand and speak English as well as many European languages. I flew from London on Czech Air . Other delegates from London came by bus and some by train. OIDFA members will have early access to information about housing, etc. Elaine Merritt The Lace Museum 552 South Murphy Avenue Sunnyvale, CA 94086 tel.
