Each year PBLC holds a Lace Day at the beginning of June. It is an opportunity to make lace, enter the lace competition, support the raffle in aid of our charity, buy all those essential supplies and listen to the guest speaker. The venue is St George’s Church Hall, BH15 3EU.

Lace Day 2024 Saturday 1 June
Looking back 'Lace Day 2024' was an enjoyable occasion with a good selection of suppliers and an extremely interesting talk by Anna Winter entitled 'Danish Whitework'. Anna came with a wonderful selection of her work and was very happy for all her pieces to be circulated around the audience.
On the following day Anna led a workshop on Danish Whitework and those attending were able to work on a Coaster Sampler.
The Lace Competition this year was for a 'Lace embellished hanky'. Jenny Harris won the prize for 'Best Technical Entry' with her Bedfordshire lace hanky, and Eve Morton won the prize for the 'Entry entry you would most like to take home' for her Bucks Point lace hanky.
A cheque for £800 was presented to Gully's Place, our charity for 2023-24. This was a brilliant amount and was boosted by lace equipment donated and sold on the Sales Table.
