Daily Telegraph Cryptic No 31278
Hints and tips by Smylers
Hello. Lovely to see you all for this Monday crossword. And it would also be lovely to see you in person in Birmingham next month. All solvers, commenters, lurkers, bloggers, editors, and setters from Big Dave’s Crossword Blog are welcome to the site’s summer bash. It’s in Birmingham centre during the day of Saturday July 25th and Sloop John B has the details.
If you’re new, you’re are most definitely still invited. And don’t worry about your solving ability: this is a social occasion, not a competitive event — and of course the whole reason Big Dave set up this site and founded this community in the first place is to help those who need assistance to solve cryptic crosswords, so please don’t get the impression that gatherings (or indeed comments) are only for those who already can solve them unaided!
