Hello everyone.
I do hope that you are all keeping safe and well.
Who would have thought that we would still be in lockdown
after all these months! Sadly, it doesn’t look promising for Christmas or the
New Year. I am wondering what plans everyone has for Christmas?
We usually celebrate Christmas Day with either our son or
daughter for lunch, then the other one for tea. Later, my husband’s family
(around 30 of us) all crowd into his mum’s for games and pressies.
I have managed to make some lace over recent weeks… mostly
finishing things bought at shows that I never got round to. Here is Dorothy … a
design by Sue Clothier of Harlequin Lace. I am going to hang her on the
Christmas tree.
It was lovely to see some of you at our last Zoom meeting
and a few ideas were mooted to try and encourage more of you to join in. The
pity is that the meetings are only 40 minutes long on the free version and the
time passes so quickly. I was asked to consider finding a speaker for one of
the meetings, but this would only be possible with a longer meeting.
With this in mind, I am proposing that we purchase a licence
for a year to use Zoom for longer meetings. This would enable us to have more
items of interest and give others more of an opportunity to chat. The cost is
around £90, but would be good value for money if more of you were to join us,
especially as we do not know how long this situation will carry on. It would be
lovely to organize a speaker; show and tell and even a quiz!
If we purchase a licence, I would propose to do one or more
training sessions for anyone who doesn’t feel confident enough to use Zoom. I
could do these on a one to one basis or a small group. If you are interested,
please contact me through the email or telephone details below and I will make
arrangements.
Stay safe and well everyone and Happy Lacemaking.
