The Roving Rubies Red Hat Society of the Central Coast decided to Paint the Town Red recently to celebrate an end to COVID-19 lockdowns with 58 members gathering at the Kincumber Pub for a special luncheon.
“All the ladies wore red everything, including party masks in lieu of those dreaded COVID one,” leader Queen Lilimarlene said.
“These were the happy masks.
“The back deck of the Kincumber Pub, our favourite place, was awash with red and happy faces; many had not caught up for ages.
“We had visitors from Castle Hill, the Hunter and even the Queen from Norfolk Island (branch) timed it right for a visit to family at Kariong.
“Many members had not ventured out for ages, but at last, along with two new members, we got them there to help claim the most Red Hatters dressed in All Red with Masks Record.”
Queen Lilimarlene said a few members of royalty appeared, with the help of special masks, and a feature of the day was the Which Dame Edna is the real one activity, featuring the group’s very own Dame Edna – 98-year-old Edna Fowler.
