Valerie Hitchcox, one of our Co-Treasurers, has been in touch this weekend to say, ‘Just to let you know that the final total for the profit from the fashion show was £317.45 once all expenses paid.’
That’s excellent news for our first ever fundraising event. The money will go a long way to helping with regular expenses, such as venue hire and speaker costs.
Thank you, again, to all those who gave their time to make it all happen, as well as to everyone who attended Wear It and made it such a fun evening. Enjoy wearing your new outfit, too – I certainly am!
Check out page 10 of this week’s Harborough Mail for a lovely, colour picture of the models, Hazel, Sam, Daisy Chain Agency, make up artists and hairdresser, together with an article explaining how successful Market Harborough WI is proving to be.
Wear It on Friday evening, 1 March was a huge success for 2 memorable reasons: our first ever fund raising event, bringing in approximately £370 and selling just over 80 tickets, as well as being a really fun evening that worked because so many people pulled together to make it all happen. The pictures below show how it all happened:
Hazel Stacey, President, who who worked with the committee to plan the evening, as well as being at the Congregational Hall in the afternoon and evening, helping to set out the catwalk, the stalls, making the punch and co-ordinating the refreshments. Hazel was helped by her neice, Samantha Stacey, who is training in event management.
Sisters Sadie and Wendy from the Daisy Chain Dress Agency in Kettering who supplied the clothes, helped models choose 8 outfits each and gave encouraging guidance to the WI models.
Paula Harrison from Randall Harrison at Archway House, Lubendham Hill, Market Habrorough, LE16 9SZ who gave her time to create beautiful hair on the models.
Kara and her staff from the Beauty Manor gave their time to help make the models look more beautfiul than normal.
The models who made it all happen: Clare Farquhar, Fiona Thompson, Lynda Meadows, Jo Brylka, Jo Grundy,Emma Paige, Sarah Dyson, Yvonne Benson, Chela Grainge and Claire Salisbury.
Stallholders displaying and selling their gifts included Petrina Campbell from Sweet Pea Gifts (079 736 177 58). She had some enchanting bags and colourful scarves.
Cards and wrapping paper from Carmen Wilson (07817 387 559) of Phoenix Trading.
Joanne Rogers (0791 777 4856) of Forever Living Products.
Some really tempting cupcakes by Vicky Watts of Cupcake Dream (0797 698 7718).

Katie from Titchy Stitch had designed and made some really cute clothes and shoes for babies and toddlers (0795 570 5562).
Two local businesses, based at Archway House, will be helping get th
e models’ ready for free: The Beauty Manor will be doing the make up and Randall Harrison Hairdressers their hair.
Several other local organisations will be present with their stalls, so a good chance to browse and pick up a special gift for Mother’s Day (10th March) or a birthday present.
