To combine "voting day" Local Elections, with a hat
competition:
As an incentive to wear hats, the national hat day could be in
the form of a nationwide competition. Judged on voting day
by the usual officials present.
To enter you must make your own headgear in a manner to
reflect
your occupation or hobby/interest. Entrance fee £2.00
(or $70 , not sure on that one)
The winner would receive all funds raised by the competition
to spend on a "trip of life" experience. To be reported by the
press at a later date.
Please log in.

some would call it Royal Ascot - but there's no prize;
a lot of prize fools though |
|
| |
its a sort of antler thing I suppose..... |
|

I just thought this would encourage people to visit the
local polling station. Whilst everyone in the community
would be there at differing times during the day, why not
incorporate a competition. Royal Ascot is really based on
how much money the hat cost. This was more of a
creative outlet for design and fun. |

Rods: At least part of the reason is weather protection. Later, it turned into a fashion thing. |
|
| |
I'm wondering about the entrance fee. Two pounds or *seventy* dollars? |
|
| |
The prize money is a lot bigger in America!!?? |
|
| |
Sorry - should that be $7? |

Having lost my hat on the way to work this morning, I will croissant this. I never ever look good in hats except for the elaborate ones we make between present-opening and lunch on Christmas day, using all the biggest bits of wrapping paper left over. The warm hat I lost this morning was a child's ski hat I bought in France last winter, Red fleece on the outside, yellow on the inside, ear flaps and string to tie it under your chin. I fell asleep on the bus, woke up to get off at my stop and couldn't see where I'd dropped it. Drat. |

I'll let you know if I see it. |

Have you seen the sort of people who officiate at elections? If there's anyone less qualified to judge a fashion show, they're probably frozen to death by a railway junction. But opening the postal ballots would be fun. |

I have a really neat hat - It's quite warm and it seems to be a French child's ski hat with red fleece on the outside, yellow on the inside. There are are ear flaps and string which I tie under my chin. Would you believe I found it on a bus? |
|
| |
That's odd. On the bus home from work today I was attacked by a small, furry animal. It had big flappy ears and long whiskers; it was *yellow* on the outside, but when I cut it open it was *red* on the inside. |

I love hats. People whould wear hats more often. (but not baseball caps) (+) |
