Dear Ladies.

Well 'Ive just spent the last 2 days putting 3 huge boxes of stock stock onto the shelves in the British Red Hatters shop www.redhatladies.co.uk  We are now officially bulging with several new ranges of Red Hat items and some good old trusty favourites. 
You will find several new Red Hats designs, new Hat Bands, new Scarves, Phone Charms, Gloves, Hair Clips, Fascinators, and some absolutely gorgeous new Red Hat design bags.  Please make sure you let your whole Chapter know that we have shelves full of new stock, although I would suggest that you take a sneaky look yourself first as some stocks are very limited..

I have also been advised that some people are having trouble actually ordering online.. please please please if you are one of those people, don't suffer in silence and please let me know in any way you can, because if I don't know there is a problem, I can't fix it for you. You can contact me by email on sharon@redhatladies.co.uk or by telephone on 01206 822833 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting              01206 822833      end_of_the_skype_highlighting. Please note that I only work part time so there may be a small delay in getting back to you.
Remember you can find your British Red Hatter shop at www.RedHatLadies.co.uk
Pinkest and warmest regards, as always.

Dear all
It really is a red hat day for me today!
An official statement from Clarence House to the Press states that six members of NAFAS (National Association of Flower Arrangement Societies) will be doing the flowers in the Abbey with the Florist who holds the Royal Warrant.
I am one of the six people from the Association to be doing the Royal Wedding Flowers!
To say I am on a HIGH is an understatement!

Hi Everyone 

Thanks for a lovely time in Paris and it was so much fun because of you all.  As promise here are the forms for our Giggle in Brisbane Australia next year, we would certainly love to see everyone of you, so that we can catch up. Our Tap dance Queen Michelle has asked me to sent this information to you all and I believe some of you are going to forward this information on to some of your queens in different areas.  Look forward to seeing you all next year in Brisbane.  (See Forthcoming Events page) Again thanks for a great time in Paris

Yours in Red Hatting

A great website, well done Pam. I hope to visit often.
 
I have some news for all my Red Hat friends, this is to let you know that I am stepping down from the Queenship of the Boudicca Babes of Colchester.  The new Queen is Laureen whom you may have met at past events and Conventions. She is lovely lady, an enthusiastic Red Hatter and has been my VQ for some time. I know you will make her very welcome in her new role as Queen. 
 
I'm looking forward to a quiet life as an ordinary chapter member and Supporting member so I can still go on the QMB.
 
Enjoy Paris and the Convention.

The meeting is due to take place at 11am on Saturday 21st August in the Basement Cafe of the Ashmolean Museum, Beaumont Street in the centre of Oxford. The tables at the far end of the cafe are reserved just for our use. This meeting is primarily a social, where we have the chance to meet, make friends, drink tea or coffee, have a snack or a lunch, and get to know each other. I will address the meeting on future plans for visits and outings/events, for which your suggestions are welcome.

I am looking forward to tomorrow ... Stroll on the Prom in my home town!

Keep your fingers crossed that the weather will allow us to walk on our promenade in full regalia without loosing our hats :)

We are having the annual "Heli Days" on the Sea Front in Weston super Mare and the Classy & Sassy Hatters hopefully can walk outside and don't need to hide in a coffee shop!
