Report by Sue Overton
Seven members met for our May session, the final meeting before our summer break.
Lots of laughs as well as groans as we worked as one group through three different cryptic crosswords – one from the Times and two from the Guardian – completing them all in the allotted two hours.
There was a general acknowledgement that we have honed our cruciverbalist skills a lot since we began our sessions and hopefully these improvements will not disappear over the summer months with all the holiday/gardening/childminding replacement activities!
