HATPIN enthusiasts from across the globe travelled to Bromsgrove at the weekend to celebrate a special event.
Members of the Hatpin Society of Great Britain gathered at Routh Hall, Bromsgrove School, to celebrate its 21st anniversary and listen to guest speakers.
The society, which was founded in a Bromsgrove museum, has more than 200 members worldwide and one woman travelled from American.
The 126 people who gathered last Saturday listened to talks by Henry Sandon, the BBC TV Antiques Roadshow expert and Elaine Moore, head milliner with the Royal Shakespeare Company, at Stratford-on-Avon.
The women whose idea it was to gather the small group of like-minded friends together, back in 1980, Margaret Norton said: "It was a very successful day and everyone really enjoyed it."
