September 2020

Once again it is with great sadness that we have to cancel our September meeting. Lavinia House are not yet accepting bookings. They did not know when we would be able to meet again. I suspect we will probably not meet in November, but we will let you nearer the date. 

We are managing to keep our newsletters going and we hope you are enjoying them but we desperately need articles, so do let us know what you have been up to during the lockdown with pictures, if possible. Also please remember to tell us your lace story and how you ended up joining our group. 

Our group email is 

martletslacemakers@yahoo.co.uk

should you want to contact us.

Lockdown lace by Lyn Brown

July 2020- Cancelled

I trust you have all been keeping safe, well and fully stocked during lockdown.

I know some of you have been making lace and finishing your Phd's ...projects half done. I hope to see some of these in the next newsletter and when we finally get to meet together again on the project table.

We have taken the decision to cancel July's meeting, for everyones safety.
We are hoping to meet again in September but once again will be following government guidelines.

Keep calm, Keep safe and Keep enjoying your lacemaking.

We had a delightful if slightly reduced meeting in March and the Rev Trevithick's talk 'Work as a Prison Chaplain was eye opening but entertaining...

But due to the current situation we are cancelling our May meeting and more than likely our July meeting...

Saturday 8th September 2018 

I have just returned from yet another enjoyable day with Martlets Lacemakers celebrating National Lacemaking Day, we drank tea, ate cake, chatted, drew raffles, listened to a really interesting talk from Alex Stillwell on designing lace, and oh, of course we made a little lace!...

The programme for 2109 was also launched...

See you at our next meeting in November 2018...
