<strong>COMMUNITY</strong> <strong>NEWS</strong><br />
BACTON & DISTRICT W.I. Monday September 2nd 2012<br />
Our September meeting took a historical turn as our speaker<br />
for the night was Rosemary Muntus who makes costumes for<br />
the re-creations at Kentwell Hall. The competition was ‘Dress<br />
as a Tudor’ and two of us (President and Vice-President) took<br />
up the challenge. We therefore spent what turned out to be a<br />
wonderfully warm ‘summer’ evening dressed in yards of wool!<br />
We were treated to a powerpoint presentation which ran<br />
through a potted history of the Tudor Kings and Queens going<br />
into the Elizabethan period. It was fascinating to find out more about the elaborate<br />
construction of many of the costumes. We heard that it could take 5 hours for a<br />
gentlewoman to get fully dressed, even with the assistance of a great many servants.<br />
Rosemary is a very accomplished seamstress and brought with her some extremely<br />
complex and authentic outfits which we were able to examine closely.<br />
Our next meeting will be our annual birthday party on October 1st. Unfortunately<br />
this meeting will not be open to visitors as it has to be booked.<br />
On Nov 2nd there will be a Soup and Puds in Bacton Village Hall. Tickets available<br />
from Bacton Post Office. Amanda Manley President of Bacton and District W.I<br />
