Fashion show at Bays Hall

The Bays Community Group will hold a fashion show on Friday, August 19, at the Bays Community Hall, Woy Woy Bay Rd, Woy Woy Bay, at 7:30pm.

The Bays Fashion Show, back by popular demand according to group secretary Ms Gwynneth Weir, will showcase the designs of Distant Travellers.

Distant Travellers is an online fashion store and shop at the Ettalong Boutique Markets that stocks a range of homemade garments in cotton, linen and silk, ecofriendly accessories, homewares and gifts, Fair Trade products, handmade cards and handbags.

After settling down on the Central Coast, designer and founder of Distant Travellers, Ms Linde Creeke, has collaborated with Ms Weir to introduce the regular fashion shows.

Ms Weir said the Bays Community relied on community events run throughout the year to help maintain the Bays Community Hall.

These included monthly breakfasts, and a Wine, Cheese and Art Evening.

The Bays Fashion Show has been held previously in May 2015 and again in March.

The event allows the members of the public to view Ms Creeke's collections and purchase pieces if interested, also offering a chance to try their hand at designing and creating themselves.

The initial fashion show in May 2015 attracted around 25 people.

The second in March saw almost double the crowd, reaching close to maximum capacity.

Ms Weir said she encouraged people to buy tickets in advance so that they do not miss out, but will be selling tickets at the door if there are any left over.

An entry fee of $5 will include a free glass of sparkling wine on arrival.

Tickets are available from Ms Weir at gwynneth.weir@gmail.com or on 0413 434 683.
