Index pages

You may have noticed that you have not received a seperate index in your magazine the last couple of years. this is because Pamela Treanor who has spent the time doing them for us all in the past is no longer doing them.  

Catherine Brown volunteered to take on the task in 2011 and has spent several months with the help of her husband getting the last three years sorted out.  This is a time consuming task creating a valuable resource for anyone interested in lace in NZ, listing not only patterns published but also the people involved in the society, events, book reviews and articles. 

Thank you Catherine for taking on this task.   

These last three years worth of indices 2009, 2010 and 2011 have recently been added to this Website

The new indices are available as downloads and they are designated for members only so you will have to log in to access them.

If you cant remember your log in name or password please contact Tania and she can reset them for you.

Christchurch Earthquake

We send our best to all the lacemakers affected by the Christchurch earthquake

I have been in contact with several of our members in the area and to our knowledge all are okay

Some have been seriously affected and have lost their homes and many have been without power and water for considerable periods of time.

The hosts of the Auckland AGM have put words in to deeds and in association with the New Zealand lace society have sponsored a lace maker from Christchurch to the AGM.

We all hope that the earthquake will not have put other lacemakers for there off coming up to the AGM. We think it would be a good chance for you all the escape the worries and tremors surrounding you for a few days away doing your favourite pastime.

So I hope to see many of you there.

 

The New Zealand Lace society had our main postal address as a Post Office Box in the Christchurch city centre.

This either no longer exists or is no longer accessible  and not likely to be accessible for a long time.

We have been lucky enough to get a new box in a location which reopened today (11/3/11), still in the Christchurch region and at a post shop which has normal working hours, unlike the previous box which was in just a lobby.

The new P.O. Box number is 29554 Fendalton Christchurch 8540.

We have a redirect order in place so anything sent to the central box will be redirected to the new one for the next three months or more.
