The Beverley St Nicholas Women’s Institute held a Fashion Show in the Molescroft Pavilion on Monday evening, proving that you are never too old to strutt your stuff.
The ‘most mature’ of the seven models was 84-year-old Molly O’Connor. She told HU17.net “I thoroughly enjoyed getting dressed up in my outfit. It wasn’t until the last minute that I realised I had to do it five times over!”
The models took to the ‘catwalk’ most elegantly in three groups, allowing just minutes for those not on show to change quickly into their next outfit. Each of them reappeared in suprisingly quick succession, adorned with a range of accessories and complete change of clothes to give the 80-strong audience a non-stop show that lasted 45 minutes. All the items worn by the models were then available to buy.
Beverley St Nicholas also provided refreshments that were included in the ticket price.
This was just one of many events organised by Beverley St Nicholas WI. Member Mary Childs told HU17.net “This is a really lively and proactive branch of the WI. There is always something going on. Our next big event is only days away – Apple Day at Millenium Orchard, Beverley – which is this Sunday, 11-3. If last year was anything to go by, it should be a great day.”
