[lace] Lace Guild website Advent Calendar

[Jean Leader]

The Lace Guild's website will once again be mounting its Advent Calendar at 
http://www.laceguild.org/guild/calendar.html . For those of you not familiar 
with this, there is a new lace picture every day, two of the days have links to 
patterns, and six of the days are clues for a competition, which anyone can 
enter.

Although this works well on tablets as well as on standard computers, 24 
windows are something of a squeeze on a smartphone. So there is also a phone 
version of the calendar which you can find at 
http://www.laceguild.org/phonecal.html .
The smartphone version has the daily lace picture, although if you want the 
patterns and wish to enter the competition you will still need to go to the 
standard version. To compensate we have added a literary dimension to the phone 
version. (You need to tap somewhere other than the doors to get to it.) If you 
miss a day (how could you?) you can go back by tapping somewhere else. (Ask a 
small child, if you can’t suss out these hidden features.)
As long as you have a recent browser the calendar should work on most phones.

If you have any problems accessing the calendar please let us know.

Jean and David in Glasgow where it may snow tomorrow (which will be a change 
from the incessant rain)

Re: [lace] Luton

[Jill]

The Luton museum has a small lace gallery where they regularly change what is 
on display. Still worth a visit, in my opinion. 
The Higgins in Bedford has the Thomas Lester collection - some of the more 
famous pieces are on display and you can request to see the other pieces. While 
the public display is relatively, if you want to see the Lester pieces you 
ahould definitely go.
Both places aren't too far from me. If you have time it would be great to meet 
up and catch up.

Subject: [lace] Luton 

 There is a possibility that I may be going to the UK on a business trip in
December, to the Millbrook Testing facility in Bedford.�� Looking at a map
showed me that Luton is directly on the way between Heathrow and Bedford.
So��my question is whether there is anything to see there, given that I
already��have the book and CD of the Luton Dealer's Pattern Book.�� Do 
they
have much of a collection beyond that? And if so, how hard is it to get to see
it?--I have specific interests so I'm not asking just to root around in their
collection. But I don't think I could get away with taking more than a day.
Any info or recommendation would be appreciated. Also, is there anything lacy
in Bedford?
