The rugby club has sold hundreds of new RWBRFC bobble hats to add to those already in circulation around the town.

So this year we decided to set you all a challenge. During your 2023 travels, we asked you to take a photo of yourself wearing your Bassett bobble hat in some distant or exotic location, doing something unusual (family-friendly activities only!) or next to somebody famous. 

Pictured here is a selecton of the best submissions. The winning photo will be judged by Chris Elias and Martin Palmer from Imagine Cruising and will be announced at this year’s Boxing Day Bash. The lucky winner will win a hamper of luxury goodies.

Poor Julie had to trek miles to take the photo!
