I’m announcing this rather later than usual, for which I apologise. For two reasons, S & B 7 will take place on Wednesday 1st December.

This weekend several of us will be in Cheltenham on Saturday afternoon at the Kemble Brewery Inn, 27 Fairview St, Cheltenham, GL52 2JF and later at a nearby Curry Corner 133 Fairview Rd, Cheltenham, GL52 2EX. I hope to be there at about 4,00pm. The following day I will be cheering (very quietly) for Peter Biddlecombe, John “Elgar” Henderson and Peter “Cephas” Chamberlain at the Times Crossword Championship. If you’re a gambler, however, put your money on Mark “Mr Magoo” Goodliffe.

Five weeks ago Brian Greer, who has been setting the Sunday Telegraph Prize puzzle for the past 18 months, left the following comment on the blog:

“I expect to be in London on Sunday, October 3, and would love to meet with BD, Peter, and anyone else interested, in a suitable pub.”

Well, tomorrow is the day and we are meeting in the Bree Louise, 69 Coburg Street, Euston, London, NW1 2HH at 2.00pm. I’m not sure how long Brian will be able to stay, but Peter and I will do our best to hold on to him for as long as possible. Drop in and have a drink with us if you can.
