Hi everyone Yes, this is a most interesting thread - one should certainly never take for granted the volunteer effort behind the lace conventions/conferences/seminars/gathering-things.
The first task for any organizer is to identify the choices of 'where' then eliminate by 'too' - such as too far from airport (or somesuch), too small, too expensive, cheap but too uncomfortable, etc., and a biggy - good but too booked :( Most public places in NA have to be wheelchair accessible, ergo the less ambulatory should be able to get around as well. If walking distance could pose problems, it would do for the lace gathering organizer to keep in mind a shuttle service from accommodation to classes, such as presented itself for our PNWL conference at UVic last year (by the courtesy of one very kind lacemaker and her husband). Campus conference facilities can be very good - see if 'conferences services' is listed in the links at a particular campus website. They will list capacities, and services available and you'll know very soon if it 'too' is or isn't a possibility. -- bye for now Bev in Sooke, BC (on Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) Cdn. floral bobbins www.woodhavenbobbins.com - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
