June meeting – High Tea

For our June meeting, we’re having a High Tea. Do come along in costume – any era welcome! Delicious food, good company, a very brief meeting to officially form the costuming group, more food, and maybe some dancing. Plus gorgeous historic costumes.(Don’t have a costume yet? Dress to feel fabulous!)

Cost $5, includes afternoon tea. Beginner and experienced costumers very welcome. Please RSVP here or on the Facebook Event page so that we make sure we have enough food! There will be some gluten-free options.

We will be having a brief meeting during the afternoon to officially form the association – the advantage of becoming an association is that we can affiliate with the Australian Living History Federation and access their insurance scheme so that we can run events, workshops, displays etc. We’ll need office bearers – President, Vice-president, Secretary. Treasurer – and committee members, so please do consider if you’d like to nominate and be involved. Ultimately, I think it will be wise to incorporate the association, which limits the personal liability of members if something goes wrong and the group gets sued. It’s not particularly difficult to become incorporated, but there are some processes to follow.

March meeting

Our first meeting for 2018 will be a costume-making/planning session and afternoon tea on Sunday, 18th March, at Kent House, 141 Faulkner Street Armidale, from 1pm to 5pm.

New members and visitors are very welcome for this informal get-together. Bring along what you’re working on, ideas for what you’d like to make, and/or completed things to show, and do wear a costume of you wish! If it’s a fine day we may be able to take some photos in Central Park, just across the road.

We’ll have afternoon tea around about 3pm. Tea and coffee will be provided; if you can bring a (small) pate of something tasty to contribute to afternoon tea, that would be appreciated.

The cost is $5 to cover room hire and tea/coffee.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask here, or on the Facebook event page.
