Joining fees and Annual Membership are paid to the Queen. Funds in the Royal Treasury are used for our Annual Registration as a RHS Chapter, annual insurance, individual birthday gift & card, Chapter birthday card & Christmas gift and other incidentals.
Remember we are a "DIS-ORGANISATION" ……….
All positions in the Royal Court are held in love, trust and respect for one another.
No annual report is required nor will be given to the Court.
OTHER THINGS A ROYAL LADY SHOULD KNOW…………
ATTENDANCE: The RHS has a laissez-faire spirit. In keeping with that spirit; there is no roll call at gatherings. However, RSVP is mandatory – yea or nay! This is common courtesy to the Queen & the Vice Queens or any of the Ladies of the Court who may be hosting an Event or Gathering.
NAME TAGS – Should be worn at all occasions, especially if we travel to visit another Chapter.
REGALIA: Is Red Hat and Purple on the Shoulder. The entire outfit does not have to be entirely purple, but the more colour the better, including shoes and accessories. Sometimes we will have Casual Gatherings where anything goes. FULL REGALIA does mean a red hat /fascinator or a flower in your hair and as much purple and glitz as possible. Full regalia is a must at all official RHS Gatherings.
BIRTHDAY REGALIA: During the whole of your Birthday Month you may reverse your colours, i.e. a Purple Hat and Red Dress. This makes you stand out as others know it is your birthday month.
TITLES: In the spirit of play, every RHS member is encouraged to dream up a Royal Title for herself. All titles other than ‘Queen’ may be used in the Royal Court of the Scarlett Ladies.
Titles should convey something describing your role in the Royal Court, such as Contessa d'Communique, Duchess Care-a-Lot, Goddess of Everything and Lady Help-a-Lot. Or something that describes your character such as Lady Laugh-a-Lot, Duchess of the Gardens, Mistress of Stitchery, Goddess of the Kitchen etc.
OUR OFFICIAL ROYAL COURT GATHERING: is held on the third Thursday of each month February to November. Full regalia is required to be worn at these Gatherings. These Gatherings are kept as cost effective as possible although some months for a special occasion we may splash out
HATTER CHATTER: held the second Monday of the month (from February to November) at the Queens Palace. This takes the form of morning tea 9.30am -11.30am. Any business matters,(e.g. payments for gatherings etc.) are conducted at this time. This enables everyone to have fun on our Royal Gathering days.
DIVA FOR THE DAY: The Lady hosting or organizing a Gathering is Diva for the Day. If you have an idea for hosting an event, either at your home or somewhere special, please see the Queen or the Vice Queens.
HATTITUDE CEREMONY: A Ceremony where a Lady in Waiting is admitted into the Royal Court of The Scarlett Ladies and accepts her position with Hattitude.
SASHING CEREMONY: Is held when a lady who was previously a member of another Red Hat Group joins the Scarlett Ladies.
OUR BIRTHDAY: Celebrated in February of each year. All Ladies may wear Red on this day if you wish.
GIRLFRIENDS GIGGLE: A yearly event held in Queensland, usually sometime in July, where a Chapter will be host to lots of fun and frivolity over a whole weekend.
RECREATIONAL SPORT: – Lunching, Shopping, chatting, laughing
BRIM BRUSHING: It’s very difficult to kiss on the cheek in a greeting when one has a large hat on. Therefore Brim brushing is an acceptable form of Red Hat greeting.
