Welcome to the Hursley Club Crossword.
We intend to publish one prize crossword each month, with £5 WH Smith gift vouchers for the senders of the five correct solutions selected at random after the closing date.
The competition is open to all members of the IBM Hursley Club, by whom the prizes are kindly provided.
The style of the puzzles is similar to that of the daily broadsheet newspaper cryptic crosswords, and we hope to have an occasional special puzzle (such as Printer’s Devilry, Alphabetical Jigsaw, or numerical crossword) once or twice a year.
To enter, please print the grid and send the solution on the printed copy to:
Mike Adams
MP 208
Hursley
Park
Winchester
SO21 2JN
We welcome contributions of crosswords from setters. Please use a 15x15 blocked grid (as usually found in the daily broadsheet newspapers). It is a good idea to use a previously published grid for an initial attempt at setting a crossword, as this will have a good balance of checked and unchecked letters, and will not have any isolated areas. Clues should be a mix of different cryptic clue types.
Please send crosswords and their solutions, in any convenient form, to Mike Adams, MP 208 (mike_adams@uk.ibm.com). We will review crosswords for suitability, and give constructive suggestions for improvements. Unfortunately we are unable to pay for contributed crosswords.
We are also pleased to consider other alternative puzzles (word, mathematical or others) for publication on the club website, although we will not be offering prizes for these at the moment.
