Australia's oldest millinery supplier joins forces with the IMF

S A BROWN PTY LTD is Australia’s oldest millinery supplies specialist being established in 1926. It remains family owned and run by family members of the founder, Samuel Albert Brown.
During its 80 plus years the business has undergone many changes. Once being one of the largest wholesalers in Australia of ladies fashion hats ( as well as all millinery supplies ) we see diversification into other fashion accessories in the attempt to flow with trends and competition. In this area we are known as THE HAT STUDIO of Chatswood.
Today the business is focused on enhancing the millinery supplies section to service not only our large list of local and national clients but as a “demand” our international clients as well. Further changes to the original business has seen the establishing of THE HAT STUDIO in Melbourne, where you will find not only all of our millinery supplies but fashion hats and accessories.
S A BROWN PTY LTD is proud to be a Gold sponsor of International Millinery Forum 2009.

IMF registrations set to open mid July...

In the best interest of the International Millinery Forum the IMF committee has been wound up, with the event now operating under the management of Linda Tillman. Linda will source advisory support from the local millinery community in order to provide a high quality event that remains at the cutting edge of millinery education in Oz.
Following this decision Linda has been busily liasing with tutors, securing venues and finalising the extremely exciting program and is now happy to announce that the ground work is complete and the program is 90% complete, with registrations set to open in six weeks time.
If you are not yet on the IMF database I encourage you to do so as this is your only gaurantee of receivng a copy of the program and being one of the first to register for your desired workshops. In order to make it fair for everyone the registration process will be as follows...
> In the coming weeks you will receive a reminder postcard - if you do not receive one of these directly via post then you can be assured that you are NOT yet on the database.
> In mid July the brochure will be printed and posted to everyone on the database - this signals the offical opening of registrations
> One week after the brochures are printed the information will go live on the IMF website http://www.internationalmillineryforum.com.au/ allowing for on line registration
> All registrations will go on a first in first served basis
There are limited places at the 2009 forum; I therefore recommend that you join the database now to ensure you do not miss out.
Without giving anything away I can tell you that this forum is going to be one not to be missed ~ new exciting venues, fresh tutors, international guest and plenty of fun.
I look forward to seeing you at the 2009 forum...
