7 weeks until milliners across the globe converge on Wagga Wagga

How exciting...only 7 weeks until the International Millinery Forum commences in Wagga Wagga. I am sure everyone has a lot to think about at the moment and the forum is one of those. To make things easier for you i will be sending all delegates a final information pack in early January, which will contain a list of last minute details, a copy of your workshop schedule and a checklist for what you need to bring to the event. As long as you have your flights or necessary travel arrangements finalised the rest can wait until the 'silly season' is over. Actually, i would suggest you start looking at your material lists to get an idea for what you need to bring to each workshop. These can be downloaded from the website http://www.internationalmillineryforum.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=66&Itemid=26
Don't forget that we will have milliner suppliers from throughout the globe at the Trade Expo; this will be a great opportunity to purchase any necessary materials.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any last minute queries.

Customs Warning for International Guests

I would like to suggest that international guests attending the International Millinery Forum do not try to bring Sinamay with them. As i am sure you would be aware our customs are quite stringent and they do not allow sinamay into the country without an import licence.
There will be PLENTY of millinery suppliers at the Trade Expo which will provide ample opportunity to purchase sinamay.
