CROCHET hat spotting could lead to prizes in an Easter competition.

The Barkham Hookers is running the contest after members crocheted post box hats which can now be seen across the borough.

Residents are being asked to take a selfie with a post box hat and send them via Facebook Messenger via the Barkham Hookers Facebook page.

Prizes will be awarded on Sunday, April 11, to a person who has found and photographed the most hats, a crochet member whose post box has been spotted the most times and a random photo from all the entries.

Every crochet hat has a QR code on for people to donate to the groups chosen local charity, Dingley’s Promise.

To find out more information about Dingley’s Promise, log on to dingley.org.uk
