Jeri,
Clare is a member of the current Executive Committee of The Lace Guild. She is also a member of Arachne in her personal capacity - so her return address will be a personal one (I don't think I have ever seen a committee member of any of the organisations join Arachne in an official capacity, since it started in 1995, but I may be wrong). I'm sure it would be lovely for the Guild to be able to afford time, money and expertise to set up official accounts for those working outside The Hollies, but the practicalities of ensuring there will always be someone with the knowledge to promptly change the forwarding addresses when the committee changes or someone resigns, or affording a professional to do that for them, make it one of those things that have been discussed and left at that (as you will be aware, I'm a former Hon Sec of The Lace Guild). Other matters take priority where charity finances are concerned. BTW, your email, amazingly, has come through direct on the reflected list - it seems some do, some don't - mostly I have to wait for the digest to see what you have written, Jeri!

If so, it would be nice if The Lace Guild provided an official e-mail address to you.
