Hi,

gramatically correct.=20
The reason for referring to U.K within the Subject was that those not =
in the U.K. would not need to trouble themselves to read to post.
How would you have abreviated the United States of America ?

Pat:
The mention of "feather boa" brings me running. I feel compelled to
respond.
The United States of America (or Amerika, depending on your geo-political
persuasion) is abbreviated "US", or "USA", or "USofA", or simply referred to
as "those upstart colonies". There are other names currently being used, but
this is not a political list or discussion, so I'll let those be for now.
NCECA (pronounced en-SEEK-ah) is the National Council on Education for the
Ceramic Arts. That organization hosts the yearly conference in various US
cities. ACerS is the American Ceramic Society, and THAT organization hosts
Clayart. I believe they may consider each other "competition".
Feather boas are strictly optional at ANY clay event, and were used first
(by myself) at NCECA Indianapolis (2004) as a means for other Clayarters to
positively identify me. (Someone asked, and that was the first thing I
thought of, so there you have it.) I think they add a bit of color to
otherwise drab winter-grey city streets during the conference, and artists
_should_ (if nothing else) be colorful. They usually bring a smile to any
who see them; another bonus. Life is far too short not to smile.
I would not recommend the use of feather boas while stoking a wood kiln,
fire-breathing, or any other artistic use of open flame, though. Singed
feathers are more appropriate for a Christmas Goose.
You can not possibly be ancient at 45, unless the years count differently on
that side of the pond. You're just about to hit your second stride!

National Council for Education for the
Ceramic Arts.
On ClayArt, people usually are referring
to that organization's annual convention,
not to the organization itself.
