The Roving Rubies Red Hatters are gearing up for their 20th anniversary later this year, with a Roaring 20s themed party set for September 5.
“The ladies are planning what they are going to wear, with the minimum feathers, boas and pearls and the most … well that will be fun,” group leader Queen Lilimarlene (Marlene Klintworth) said.
“New members are invited to come along and help celebrate.
“The Red Hat Society is based in the USA and has branches around the world.
“We often get people come up to us (when dressed in our red and purple) and say they are overseas red hatters or their Mum is!”
The Central Coast group’s oldest member is 97 and the youngest is in her 50s.
“There is a wide range of interests and personalities in this big group,” Klintworth said.
“We have reassembled after COVID and are Red Hat partying on.”
