Not being sure of the dates you will need to know by, I'm not sure if I'll be able to report back in time, but I will be in Winchester next weekend (Friday 4th - Sunday 6th July) for the Knitting & Crochet Guild's AGM. There is just a possibility that I might have time to find out a bit more about what is there during the weekend (and a few things I need to find out for when I will be back there at the beginning of September for the Textile Society's AGM). However, if anyone else knows what lace there is to offer in Winchester can you post to the list, or copy your reply to Ewa to me, please? At present I haven't booked my trains for the September weekend, so could spend the Sunday afternoon exploring.... As I understand it, Salisbury Museum has a lace collection, and there was a special exhibition there ?last year. However, it may be that the collection is in reserve and you need to contact the museum first. Now that I might have some more free time (I'm escaping from my part time job of the last five years as of tomorrow!) I am hoping to get to one of the Birmingham Central Museum's Reserve Collection open days - about 14 years ago we had a speaker at a lace day who was cataloguing their lace collection, which none of us knew about until then, and this will be an opportunity to find out more about what is in reserve. -- Jane Partridge - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
