Boat Trip and a Visitor

We had a boat trip to Brownsea Island, which for those of you who don't know is a National Trust island in the beautiful setting of Poole Harbour.
It was a lovely day, again, we are so lucky with the weather when we have our days out.
With us was a visitor from Australia, Queen Mini Mum, or Stef, was home for a few weeks and joined us for a picnic and lots of chatting, then on our boat trip back, found herself sitting next to a Red Hatter from the U.S.A.We are everywhere!!!!!!!!.
We do hope you enjoyed our company Stef, we certainly enjoyed yours, maybe we will get together again, who knows.

Reaching New Hights

On the 16th September one of our chapter is doing a charity parachute jump,
Wendy Harris, who will admit that she has passed her 70th birthday,is jumping at Langer Airfield Nottinghahshire, in aid of Marie Curie.
I do hope your "tandam" is a nice young man.
Well done Wendy, we are all very proud of you.

On a Wing and a Prayer

On a cloudy 16th September the Red Arrows flew over Bournemouth beach, and as usual, gave a stunning show.
It was Cathie's first time!!!, and boy was she excited, it was a pleasure to be there and to share it with her.
We took a stroll along to see the open air Art Show, followed by a visit to Beales for coffee.

In The Beginning

On the 6th April 2006,The Scarlet Belles of Bournemouth came into being.We hired a hall and had a great response, 18 ladies arrived and showed a huge interest, we introduced ourselves in turn, and spoke about what we thought our Chapter of the Red Hats would like to do.

It was decided that one or two members would take it in turn to arrange our monthly meetings, the first being going out to lunch which was our May meeting.

Subsequently we have had a cream tea in June, in July we had a picnic and invited The Purple Princesses of Poole to join us.

Welcome to the Scarlet Belles of Bournemouth Blog!

We'll be publishing our journal for all to read and catch up on our Red Hat news... hope you enjoy it!
