Any compers in Berks, Hants, Wilts?

We were having difficulty finding a regularly updated group, with good local competitions, so we started one on FB. We cover Berkshire, Hampshire & Wiltshire.

It's just a small, friendly group, where we share local comps. Any new members who live near, or regularly, visit these areas are welcome :heartsmil

    Just to mention we list website competitions, as well as Facebook ones. Also I try and keep a track of winners announced on FB (although that can be tricky!)

    Thank you. If you ever decide to join, please give me a shout. I would be happy to help you get started with FB comps. Recently I find I have a lot more wins on social media, than on websites. :o

    Thanks. I used to be on FB, but gave it up a few years ago when they were clamping down on what they suspected were not genuine accounts. At that time, they asked me to send a copy of my passport or driving licence to prove my ID, but I decided I would sooner not bother with FB rather than let them have that.

    That's a shame, I have never had to send them any documents. Do you think it would b worth you trying to re-register again now?

    I probably could, but to be honest, I don't think I want to spend any more time entering comps than I do now and I am happy enough with the wins I get from what I choose to spend my time on now.

    I know what you mean, it can get a bit time consuming!

    We are still going, 117 members now, but more welcome. I try and add about 5 new local comps every day if I can.
