Fur goodness sake

On Monday the Tai Chi group did something different.

Wear a Fur Coat Day for the Winter Solstice, and to raise money for the RSPCA.

The venue was the East Coaster and they looked after us very well.

We had the place to ourselves.

Mrs O Henry was there with her new knee, here in conversation with Keri who had a new knee last year.

Mother and daughter team, Anna and Beth, always look stunning.

Marion in the middle is our Debbie Harry look-alike.

Jackie is our tai chi guru.

She is wearing her husband's leather coat, and was told to say 'the fur rubbed off'.

 Jill did some mixing and matching until she got her outfit just right.

Keri in a borrowed collar which suited her outfit perfectly.

 Colleen looking like a Russian princess, possibly needing a little more caviar.

And of course, Her Majesty rose to the occasion.

Nothing succeeds like excess.

Dolphins came to play in the bay, which I took as a sign that nature realised our intentions were good.
Fur wearers were fined and we had a raffle.  We raised $170.00  - a drop in the ocean to meet the RSPCA's need.  Hopefully we put some money into the local hospitality industry too.
