Egg-stra! Egg-stra! Read all about it! The annual Easter treasure hunt,
organised by St
Alfege’s church, kicks off today.
Today, and every
day until Easter, a cryptic clue will be posted on the church noticeboard. Each
one will direct competitors to a different location around the Froghill area,
where a prize will be waiting for the first to find it. Each of those daily clues
will then add up to a final mega-clue, which will win one junior sleuth the grand
prize on Easter Sunday.
“The
treasure hunt is open to all children under ten and this year it’s better than
ever,” said Rev.
Lionel Hassock.
“Not only
will there be an Easter egg prize every day but one lucky winner will receive an
all-expenses-paid, family weekend at the Mungo Park Road Recycling Centre.
“Each day’s
clue will be written in invisible ink,” Rev. Hassock continued, “and vigorous licking
will cause the words to appear for just long enough for the message to be read.
“To add to
the suspense, the secret locations all contain a surprise of some kind. It may be
a gin trap, a nest of scorpions, a vat of acid, a sucking bog or a
concealed sniper – whatever it is, I can promise it will be lots of fun!”
To help get you
started, for today only, the clue appears on this page as well as on St
Alfege’s noticeboard. Happy hunting, everybody!
