The Red Hat Society, which is a purely fun meeting of mostly women
over age 50, began as a result of a few women deciding to greet middle
age with verve, humor and elan. We believe silliness is the comedy
relief of life, and since we are all in it together, we might as
well join red-gloved hands and go for the gusto together. Underneath
the frivolity, we share a bond of affection, forged by common life
experiences and a genuine enthusiasm for wherever life takes us next.
You don't even have to be 50 years old – some
chapters are started by pink hatters under 50. Just gather some
friends together,
wear your red hats and
purple outfits (or pink hats and lavender outfits) and celebrate
life together!

Warning
When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other people's gardens . . .
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.
