National meet update

Planning for next February’s major Blythe meet in Melbourne has been bubbling away behind the scenes since June. Since email deliberations can only achieve so much, today some of the organisers decided to get hands-on and take a look around the venue for inspiration.

Our mission is to transform a school hall into a setting fit for a Blythe tea party, and to make the day as memorable as we possibly can. It’s a daunting prospect, but an exciting one, too.
The hall itself is big and bright, and the adjoining playground is dolly photo-shoot waiting to happen. We’ve compiled a list of decorating and catering ideas and are in the process of pricing and hunting down items.
The day won’t be overloaded with games and planned activities, because we firmly believe that catching up with online friends and oohing and ahhing over other’s dolls will be everyone’s top priority. However, we are hoping to include the We Play With Dolls members who can’t attend via video chat. More about that down the track.
We’ve got lots to do before February, but it’s most definitely a worthwhile endeavour!
