Lynn, A couple of coffee shops that I have seen here in the UK have separate lounge rooms which they are happy to let people borrow in quite times for meetings - one has business meetings in them, another lets a local teen book group meet. I used to meet with a local coaching group at one of the hotels in their coffee lounge. They didn't mind us using it in the evening so long as we order a few coffees and soft drinks.

We don't have room for a sharing table, Dear Alice et al, Speaking of meeting rooms, how does one go about finding one? I was put off by my church, which evidently charges $75 for the use of a room for a meeting, which is certainly very high. Is it a matter of canvassing the churches in the area? Have people had luck with other venues, such as libraries? This is Lancaster, Pennsylvania, so there are no Women's Institutes, or, as far as I know, community centers. My perfect venue is located near the 'city' of Lancaster, so it is centrally located, with access to the kitchen where people could bring a bit of supper, or get water, as I envision an early evening of lacemaking, to accommodate people coming directly from work. A get together of lacemakers. There is no place in my home for such a thing as there is no dining room, and the light in the small living room is abysmal. So the two questions are: 1 What venues have you found to be successful or not successful; and 2 How did you go about finding it?

Now, this is January. - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected]. For help, write to [email protected].
