Greetings and Happy New Year to you all!
As per the title, I have a (almost) year long challenge for the local areas and their members. This is a link to a GB map of amusing, silly, or naughty place names, many of which I can't list here lest the swear filter catches me out.
Your task is to visit these places (indicated by a blue flag on the map) and take a photo of yourself (and if possible, with your Westfield - some locations are not accessible by car) at these places - the name of the place must be visible in the photo.
Scoring will be as follows:
One point for each WSCC member in the photo
One point for each Westfield in the photo
One extra point if the WSCC member is in costume
One point for your Local Area
Separately, there will be one point for every place with Westfield in its name visited (indicated by red flags).
Contest closes on 30 November 2025. There will be a prize at the end of the year for the highest scoring WSCC member, for the highest scoring Local Area, and for the best costume.
The map is a work in progress and I'm aware it may be thin in places, so your help would be appreciated. You may submit amusing, silly, or naughty place names and locations below for consideration for me to add to the map - my ruling is final.
(Disclaimer: I’m not responsible for you driving all the way somewhere and not finding a place name sign to prove you’re there. Use Google Street View to look before you go!)
Submit your photos and stories to go with them below. I'll create, post and update a spreadsheet in due course. Good luck, you've only got 11 months left!
