To find a chapter, look at the map below to find the closest chapter to your suburb, then check the spreadsheet under the map for the contact details for that chapter.

When viewing the Chapter List below on a phone, scroll down on the town names (not the scrollbar on the side) to get to the end. We currently have over 70 chapters!

Information here is to the best of our knowledge.  Some chapters have no details listed because they have not given permission to be listed.

We had a newsletter running for a little while – where Hatters could share stories, get some fun creative ideas and stay up to date with events.

The  newsletters have unfortunately been discontinued as there was not enough content being sent in to make them, but the old newsletters are here for you to read for some nostalgia.

We have a Queen’s Page that has information that might be useful to Chapter Queens.
It includes information about Queen’s Council/Queenathon meetups, minutes from previous Queenathons, articles and a Queen’s Handbook of gathered resources you might find helpful.

Listing an event or chapter
If you want to list/change your chapter information or send an event notice, please use the sections below which contain an email form to send the information in.

For anything else, email to: redhatsvictoria@gmail.com

To send your event listing to be added to our events page, please check the sections below, then email your event info. If you have a flyer (recommended!) please send that in an email to: redhatsvictoria@gmail.com

~ For Privacy Info

This website (and the Red Hats Victoria Facebook group) is publicly accessible so all information you send in will be visible to anyone who visits this website.  It is therefore not recommended to include personal info on your event flyers/listings (You can give this to those who contact you for bookings)

• Submitting your event flyer as an image helps give a little more security for your email address.
• It is not recommended to post your home phone number or address.
• Consider using your hatter name or chapter name instead of your full name.
• Consider giving banking details only to attendees who have booked/registered rather than posting them in the event listing. (This will also help you keep track of payments better, as it will stop people paying before registering)
• If you are hosting an event in your home, you should withhold the address and give that to only attendees who have booked/registered, and only accept bookings from people you know are Hatters and can be vouched for.

Furthermore any information you record of your attendees (such as names, phone numbers, email addresses) should be used only for the event they registered for and should be kept private.  It is not appropriate {nor legal} to use their email address or phone number to contact them on other matters unless you have their permission to do so. By sending your event listing, you acknowledge that any details you have asked to be included on this website are able to be seen by the general public.  You agree to assume any risk associated with publishing your event information on this website.

~ Format of event notices

• The most convenient way for us to add your event here is to email the event flyer (preferably as an image) you’d like the Hatters to download.
• Saving your event flyer/promo as an image is the best way for it to be shared in a way everyone can view it properly!!!!  However we will not type out the information to put in the listing, so if you want additional text added to your listing, send that in the form below or an email.
• Flyers as a .doc or .docx are not recommended as these can be unreadable for some Hatters, and often any layout and fonts you use will not look the same when opened on the other person’s computer/laptop/phone.  Save the document as a .pdf file or image instead to preserve the same look and make it readable.

Email form will not send until confirmation of permission to publish the event has been given
