Enter the 2012 Hooky Photo Competition
The theme for this years photo competition is:
Hook Norton in the Diamond Jubilee Year, and how you interpret that is up to you… Your photo doesn’t have to depict the actual celebrations, but should show Hook Norton or its residents, and be relevant to the year 2012, and be taken between 25th of April 2012, and the 31st of July 2012, so we don’t get photos of Hooky in the snow!
Fabulous prizes will be announced later, but you will have the pleasure of seeing your photo in the newsletter, or on the website. Open to everyone of all ages and abilities. Check out the rules here.
Get involved with the Hook Norton Digital Archive
Do you have any old footage of village public events or of the village itself hidden away in your attic? Perhaps on cine film or even on VHS?
We want to create a digital archive for Hook Norton, which will be showcased on this website. So if you have any video content or old photos which may be of interest to us, please do get in touch with the web team. We’ll be happy to transfer film or photos to a digital format and give you a copy of your own to keep, if you’re happy for us to use it on this website.
Contact the web team for more details or if you think you can help.
Meanwhile, watch the 1943 film “24 Square Miles” which features life in Hook Norton and other local villages.
