If you love to make model planes, then kits, glue and paint may well be on your shopping list. Football lovers may well need a ball and perhaps some sports kit to take part in their hobby. But what might compers need, and is there actually anything special in the way of equipment that can help with this pastime?

Comping isn't a hobby that you need to share with other people if you don't want to. It's easy to start being a comper, simply by entering competitions - you don't even have to tell anyone about it, if you don't want to!

It's not like football, say, where there's a good chance you're only ever going to get the most out of the pastime as part of a group or a team.

Which films are Compers News readers most excited about seeing next?

Every week, lots of new films hit cinema screens, DVD and Blu-ray or online services - and much of the time, these new releases in the world of movies are linked to special competitions.

Comping is a great hobby for the winter months. After all, you don't need to venture out of your wood-fire-warmed living room or cosy bedroom to be able to enjoy its fun!

All you need is a computer, and maybe a pile of postcards and stamps and the latest issue of Compers News for company!
