One local lace group here in Ottawa rents a room in a Senior's Residence. We used to meet at an old Town Hall but it became too small as the group grew. The current location is still not ideal, but is bigger. One of the reasons it isn't ideal is because there is an extensive library which has

I belong to two lace groups, both of which meet at local libraries. LACE have a meeting room that we have to pay rent for which is covered by our dues. I believe we are now up to 40 members including one man. My other group, Land of Lincoln Lacemakers, have a free room at another library on

Hi Everybody: Speaking of meeting rooms, how does one go about finding one? Some groups I belong to have found free or close-to-free meeting rooms in draughty church basements, windswept parish halls, and one community centre pre-school (the meetings are in the evening so the room is

How to find a meeting place. that's an ongoing problem. I belong to four lace groups and a sewing group. Over the years we have faced this problem several times. The largest lace group has met in a classroom in a fabric store and in a community center since I joined it. I think they met

I teach at a university and was able for several years to use for free a classroom with large windows and lots of light. We also had use to a kitchen and a large mezzanine where we could sit and chat. Our problem was parking until a local church let us park all day for a very reasonable fee. The

To Lyn, who asked about how and where to find meeting space... It usually pays to have connections when you're looking for a place to meet. Loyal church members are sometimes waived the sextant fee, particularly if they also volunteer for church projects. The local public libraries in our

Hi All, The local Campbelltown Group meets twice a month on a Saturday in the Country Womens Association rooms for a modest fee. I am sure there is a similar type organization in other countries. One son in law's grandmother, a quilter of renown from southern Indiana in her time, was a member

Our group has a variety of fiber arts represented. We meet in a smallish room where each person has only a little table/floor space. It's very normal for some people to bring a compact project such as knitting, crochet, tatting, or knotted lace instead of a larger bobbin lace pillow. I tend
