U3A Bury St Edmunds Cryptic Crossword Group Update

This is the message sent to the members of the U3A Bury St Edmunds Cryptic Crosswords group with links to the material used in the first meeting.

Hello All,

[A revised message with links that should work]

Thanks to Hazel, Jane and Lynn for coming to our first meeting earlier this week and welcome to  Arlene, Ian, Jean and Marian.

Here is a reminder of what we covered in our first session on Monday:

Invite to First Meeting
Overview of Cryptic Clues
Guardian Quick Cryptic Crossword #1
Hidden Word Wordplay Indicators
Hidden Word Clues – If you weren’t at the meeting you might like to try these for yourself before looking at the answers.
 
As a reminder I have annotated the list of clues we tried with answers here…

We will aim to meet at 2pm on the last Monday of the month, but as this month it falls on a Bank Holiday we will meet on Tuesday 28^th May, at Oakes Barn.
If you haven’t told me already, please let me know if you will be attending.
 
This month we will do another Guardian Quick Cryptic together. Do try it beforehand and see how you get on.

You can find all of their Quick Cryptic puzzles here. I can highly recommend them so do try others from the collection too.

Our Clue Type of the Month will be Anagrams. As before, I will compile a set of examples of varying level of difficulty for you to work through in the meeting. I will also sprinkle the list with a couple of Hidden Word clues to keep you on your toes.
I will also bring a long my selection of Clues of The Month (which may be of any type)
If we have time, we can also look at clues for Word of the Month (and maybe have a go at trying to come up with clue).
 
Any questions, just ask.
Kind Regards,
John.
