Newcastle & Hunter Valley Doll Lovers Society

About

The Doll Lovers' Society was formed in 1975 when Gwen Hunter appeared in an article in the Newcastle Morning Herald, asking for anyone interested in dolls and forming a group to contact her. On 22nd March twenty-one ladies met for the first time. There it was decided that the club's aims would be "to help promote and encourage all forms of doll collecting, and above all, to preserve dolls." Since then the Doll Lovers Society has grown to include members from all around the Hunter Region and NSW. Our aim is to promote the hobby of doll collecting and provide assistance and support for local charitable organisations. One way this is achieved is through our yearly fairs which we have been running since 1983.
