Lace Day
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 2018
Lace Day 2018 was very successful with more tickets than usual being sold to lacemakers from other local lace groups.
The competition title for 2018 was 'A Motif'. Jean Organ won with the same piece of lace in both categories.
Our speaker, Pat Perryman, entertained us with a interesting, witty and informative talk entitled 'A History of Honiton Lace from Shakespeare to 2018'. Pat brought along an exquisite display of her own Honiton Lace.
Liz Pass received the cheque on behalf of our charity 'Newlife'. A Sparkle Party was held at which jewellery from High Street stores was sold at greatly reduced prices to raise additional funds for 'Newlife'.
