The Cryptic Crossword Group meets on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of the month from 10:00 to around 11:30 at the Cantley Park Cafe. Members take away a number of crosswords from each meeting to have a go at and bring back to the following meeting, when they work through them as a group, fill in any blanks and discuss how they got the answers. They then attempt some slightly harder crosswords on the day as a group, before taking away the next set.
The convenor, and other experienced members, guide and nudge without simply giving the answers and are on hand to explain how the clues work and how to break down cryptic crossword clues. The group is very friendly and social and most members are at the early stages of getting to grips with cryptics.
If you'd like to come along and see how it works or try some of the past puzzles to see if it's your sort of thing then contact the convenor.
