Re: [lace] Lacemakers fair and currency

The method of processing cards suggested by Brenda is the one Barbara 
Fey uses when she is away from home, ie) in Prague. She wrote all of 
the details down and then processed the payment when she got back. I 
think she must have had several days worth of work after the Congress, 
but it seemed to work well.

If there is a vendor that you particularly want to buy from check if 
they have a web site and whether they take credit cards.  I know on 
my first visit to the NEC I quickly ran out of cash but that was 
yearsa ago and I think more vendors are taking plastic than before.
At the last lace day I went to Tim Parker was saying that that's 
likely to change from next year when pin & chip applies to all cards 
because the traders will need to invest in pin and chip readers, and 
many of the smaller businesses (of the type that attend lace days, 
craft fairs etc) will find it uneconomic to do so.  He did say that he 
would continue to accept plastic as though it were mail/telephone 
order - ie he'll write down your card number then process it on the 
old machine when he gets home, but he would prefer cash or cheque.
