I have been thinking some more about this year's format of the convention which is clearly designed to make lace instruction available to people who work and may not want to expend an entire week of vacation on it. It is entirely possible that this will be successful and that there might be a higher proportion of younger, working people at the convention than previously. These people are often quite adept at using computers and have other desirable skills. Those local clubs whose members are exhausted from the clerical tasks associated with running their groups would be well-advised to attend the convention and cosy up to young computer adept attendees. A campaign of friendship inspired by self-interest may result in the young person offering to edit the newsletter or run spreadsheets on the Lace Day consignment business. Before long, she might be induced to be club secretary or chair some loathesome committee and those members of the club who have already served in these capacities can concentrate on making lace and offering advice.
