Big Dave and a number of our bloggers and commenters are in Derby today for an S&B gathering, which I might have attended, had my ‘entertainment budget’ not been committed to the S&B in London next Tuesday. I’m a stand-in for the stand-in for Big Dave and so in the time I’ve available at the moment, I have provided some hints but, as usual, if you need more help, do let me know and I’ll add some more in between the other tasks I’d allocated for today. I was going to be rash and say that, looking at the clue mix, I’m sure you’ll all be fine, but that might be famous last words!
As is usual for the weekend prize crosswords, an assortment of clues, including some of the more difficult ones, have been selected and hints provided for them.

Morning All! Thanks to crypticsue for all the help recently – I have had issues multiple. This was another in a line of extremely easy prize puzles that have not yielded much fun. There are some nice clues upon review but they were missed on the day as I simply wrote most of them in.
