Comments and contributions to the LaceNews blog are most welcome. If you would like to make a contribution, please contact me directly at LaceNews@gmail.com. All contributions and comments are currently monitored, and this may change in the future if a suitable input format can be designed. Note, I work full time, so will do most of the blogging catchup in the evenings and weekends.
You can also tweet me on @lacenews. Recent tweets are posted at the bottom of the righthand column, along with a follow button. The tweets are meant to be a more informal look at the behind-the-scene workings of the blog, but not so important that they warrant a formal post. It’s a chance to give the site a more personal touch.
For the LaceNews Channel, please let me know if you find any videos missing from the current playlists. They will be included in the regular monthly update. I also welcome suggestions for better organization of the playlists. Write to LaceNews@gmail.com, or tweet, or put a comment on the LaceNews Channel page. This will also go directly to my YouTube email account.

Dear Laurie Waters,
congratulations to the anniversary. But I am afraid your Blog seems to be somewhat confused about European politics and geography. Therefore to Europeans your differentiation of “Lace Events in Europe” does not make much sense.
Sweden and the 3 Baltic states Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are all members of the EU. There are no Non EU Baltic states at all. Furthermore, Slovenia is also a member of the EU and has never belonged to the Soviet Union.
By the way even the UK and Ireland are EU countries.
Best regards

Hi Rolf,
Thanks for your comment – I knew someone would catch me out on that someday. You are absolutely correct. I’ll take another look and redo the categories. I did want to try and make a few different categories, and I like keeping the English speaking countries separate – because after all, I do speak English. And there’s so much going on in the UK.
Let me stare at this and come up with something better – I have a long holiday weekend to get it all right.
Laurie
