A hot summer’s day, and finally attendee numbers are back up to pre-pandemic levels. It was great to see some old friends again as well as some welcome fresh faces.
BCD members Craig and Amelda of Puzzly set up a beautiful stall of their laser-cut puzzles. Another highlight was John’s talk and stunning display of Pears magazines and puzzles. The theme of ‘wild card’ was taken literally by one member – he produced a puzzle of The Joker… 
Portraits were a bit of a theme, and included ‘Aunt’ Moira Shearer, Ellen Terry playing Imogen in ‘Cymbeline’ and a fiendishly difficult Eric Bond puzzle of a fierce chieftain. All that and home-made cake – a great time was had by all.
Our next (virtual) meeting is only a month away!
