Spring Fashion Parade
13 Dec 2018
The ‘Mandurah Peel Probus Club’ held a very successful Fashion Parade during September in conjunction with “Kings Park Fashions” (a local retail fashion store).
There were some 130 members and guests in attendance and it was pleasing to see so many visitors from other Probus clubs, including; Shoal Water, Mandurah Islands, Mandurah Ladies and Karrinyup. There were also many other visitors including friends of the club members.
On arrival everyone was greeted by our wonderful male members with a glass of non alcoholic bubbly, orange juice and strawberries. But, judging by the laughter and noise, I am sure they felt intoxicated. This was followed by a sumptuous ‘long table’ lunch, capably served by our many volunteers.
Christine Steer, our President, welcomed everyone, and after the delicious array of summer spread for lunch, she assisted in the drawing of 33 door prizes as well as four lucky winners of a $25.00 Kings Park Fashions voucher each. There was also a vase of flowers on each table of six and these went to the oldest person sitting at that table. As a result, 22 ladies went home with a pretty vase of flowers. Whether or not they were the eldest, remains their secret!
The moment arrived for the parade, and five gorgeous models from the Club, did themselves proud, strutting their stuff and looking a picture of elegance as they did. Annie Clark, Pam Dagg, Christine Schmid, Linda McNutt and Gaylia Mitcham were congratulated on a job well done.
This was all followed by an afternoon tea of delicious, delectable dainty cakes served with tea and coffee. Afterwards, some ladies took the opportunity to try and buy, taking advantage of the 15% discount offered by Kings Park fashions. Everyone went home happy.
The Clubs team of workers were amazing as it was a mammoth effort getting everything set up to look beautiful and on time, and then the huge clean up was all done and dusted well before time.
Congratulations to everyone on a magnificent effort and thank you each and everyone one of you for making it such a success.
