Historical information

A photo of widows at trading tables in the Clubrooms at Legacy House. It is one of the annual fetes usually held in November. Items for sale included home made food items like relish and jams, and craft items. Legacy House held craft lessons throughout the year and often the items made were sold at the fetes or at a stall outside Legacy House during Legacy Week for fundraising.
The lady in red is Billie Sims who has been President of the Widows Club.
It is likely to be 1988 due to the photographers reference number meaning 17 November 1988 (ref no. 881117).
These regular meetings, fetes and workshops provided important opportunities for widows to meet, socialise and be active.

Significance

A record of the type of activities Legacy provided for fundraising and as a social outlet for the widows.
