CHARD woman Debbie Hilton caught some rays and some News while escaping the British winter chill in December.

Debbie, of Jocelyn Park, is pictured on Waikiki Beach on the Hawaiian island of Oahu.

Debbie is an early entry in our News in the World competition for 2007, which offers a year's subscription for the best picture of you and the News.

If you're off anywhere exciting, remember two essential travel items - a camera and your copy of the paper!

Photos can be emailed to newsdesk@chardandilminsternews.co.uk or sent to 3A Fore Street, Chard, TA20 1PH.

Leave your name, address, contact details and a brief description of the photo.
