North Wales is the furthest north our club has ever reached – we have more members in the south of England than elsewhere. So we had fewer attendees 
than usual, but northerners were glad of a more accessible venue for once, and we were pleased to see a few stalwarts from the deep south! The amount of cake per attendee was astonishing…
The theme, appropriately, was ‘Seaside’. There were many colourful and nostalgic puzzles on display, celebrating traditional British seaside holidays, including this framed King puzzle [left] brought by John and Christine.
Meanwhile, Katherine of Puzzling Beats had designed three laser-cut puzzles especially for the meeting, with more tropical locations in mind. Her 3-D puzzle [below] proved quite tricky to assemble, and was greatly admired. Our host, Heather Prydderch of Puzzlewood, also brought several of her tricky hand-cut puzzles for us to try.
We really enjoyed our day at the seaside!
