And, of course, everyone is welcome whether they are members or not. The
next meeting is on the 14th January and is at St John's Church Hall Clough
Road Hull. The workshop this time is 'An Easter Egg made with 2 halves of
a walnut shell' with Jo Firth.
The Society had its 25th anniversary a couple of years ago and we organised
all sorts of publicity. As Chairman, I went onto the local radio, Radio
Humberside and did a live interview in the studio. We also had virtually
a full page coverage with our local paper, Hull Daily Mail, with photos and
details of who to contact. And we always put up posters and advertise our
meetings in the local papers. So it is not for the want of trying.
I, with others, have demonstrated at all sorts of events in the area over
the years. Even, on one occasion, I was in fancy dress making lace in a
tent in May, but it was so cold that I had my jeans and a sweather on
underneath the costume.
Unfortunately my daughters and, at the moment, granddaughters are either too
young or not interested in lace. I keep suggesting it, but they have not
yet taken the bait.

Sue says:-
I agree with you there!
In our Lace Group in Hull, East Yorkshire, we have people who sit and
knit, embroider, tat, crochet, bead, make bobbin lace, needle lace....
etc, etc. We're known as Wolds Lacemakers and frequently hold workshops
on all sorts of things (from embroidery to painting, gardening and all
points in between!!) We've also got a website (just to prove we're in the
21st century (I think, but I'mm the webmaster....)
(www.woldslacemakers.co.uk).
Unfortunately we don't have any male members.... maybe we frighten them
off!! LOL, however we do have some 'grandchildren' as members!!
Every meeting we have a table where people show what they've made since
the last meeting, and it is usually covered in all sorts of things, from
lace through knitting to cards!!
Do other groups do this as well??
