Publication date for April's Lace is 30th April, ie yesterday, so given
the occasional vagaries of the postal system I don't count it as late
yet (others might disagree!). You should get it within the next day or
so, but if you haven't received it by 10th May either email or phone The
Hollies (contact details are on the website at www.laceguild.org ).
What happens with the April magazine is that it has the renewal form in,
so cannot be sent for printing until the members have decided the
subscription rate for the new membership year, and with the AGM being in
April it is a tight turn around for the printers and mailing house.
(This meant having the renewal form ready before the AGM, so that if the
recommended subscriptions were not passed it would only need a quick
amendment before going to print, thankfully the new rates were
approved!).
You will also have the Trustees Report and Accounts Summary with this
magazine, and a spare membership form (as with the renewal form, these
form the centre inserts) to pass on to a friend - we need new members!
On the back of both of these forms you will find direct debit forms -
the new year will see a reduction in subscriptions for those in the UK
paying by this method, but we need to have the applications back by 31st
May so that they can be processed before the renewal date of 1st July. A
copy of the membership application form is available on the website.
Any reports on convention (we welcome submissions from members!) and the
minutes of the AGM will be in the July issue - it would delay the April
magazine far too much to attempt to include them then.

Has anyone received their April 2013 copy of "Lace"??
I only
re-joined the Lace Guild last year so not sure if the April?issue is held back
these days so as to include a report on the Convention. Otherwise is there a
problem? - No mention on their website "Stop Press" or on the Facebook
page.....
?
Just wondering....
