I agree with Maureen the Exhibition is definitely worth a visit even though there is no lace to see. Most of the exhibits were well placed just one was placed so low I could not view it properly. The hips and knees don't work that well to get down and then up again. Do visit if you get the chance, but do allow plenty of time to see it properly. One good thing is that car parking in Ely is free.

My husband and I had arranged to meet friends at Duxford over last weekend. The men went to the Air Museum but my friend and I decided we would go to see the above exhibition. We thoroughly enjoyed it. I have done some goldwork in the past but not to the standard of the RSN, but my friend, although she sews and is a lacemaker has not worked any. I was able to explain some of the techniques to her and one or two people who were stood behind me asked me questions too. I stressed that I was only a visitor who was able to answer some of the questions but not connected to the RSN in any way, although I would have liked to have attended a course or to with them. It took us a while to get round the exhibition and we did need to go and have a coffee part way through so we could refresh body and mind. And it was nice to see some part worked pieces so people could appreciate how it was done. Thank you Louise, without your email we would not have known about it. It has made me want to do some goldwork again.
