BCD Just Jigsaws group – A new flickr group created specifically for BCD members to join and share puzzle pictures. This group was used during our recent very successful virtual BCD weekend and will remain open for BCD members to enjoy. You can view the photos there without joining but we would love as many members as possible to join and share their puzzles. Joining instructions can be found on the back page of Jigsaw Pieces Issue 136 and an example video here.
