In light of the recent discussion on lace-chat about travel complications within the UK, perhaps many who could attend a lace event are choosing not to, if the travel to it is difficult.
As a sometime vendor myself, I notice that there tends to be a shopping trend in groups, if the consensus is 'go for it' they will all buy something; if a key person announces that they have all the lace supplies they need, others won't buy anything either (even if the group invites the vendor!).
