We had entries from three clubs for the National Chairman's Challenge "Spring Bonnet". They are all fabulous and it was difficult to select one to go forward to represent Kent. We selected the very stylish design by the ever talented Zoe Hawkins - it would be equally at home in an Easter parade or a Paris catwalk. Sadly it was not placed in the National competition but we think its fabulous. Congratulations to all our entrants, your bonnets are wonderful   Jean Hoar - Hartley  Lillian Pine - Romney Marsh
