It was once again a great crossword meeting, last Saturday in York.
See the comments from #45 onward in the most recent York S & B blog – to be found in the ‘Announcements’ section.
Many thanks to the Great Man himself (and to Jane) for organising a party with lovely food and company alike.

This time there were only three crosswords available especially written for the event, if I am right.
John’s Elgar puzzle has already been impressively blogged by crypticsue on Big Dave’s website: NTSPP 298.
Dalibor‘s crossword can be found in the post directly below this one.

First, however, Brigster’s contribution which can be found here: Brigster @ York 2015.
So, do not read any further yet if you still want to do or finish this crossword.

Financial Times 15,065 – Falcon

October 29, 2015 at 5:26 pmOctober 29, 2015 at 12:05 am by Sil

Monday Prize Crossword / Oct 19, 2015

Since giving up his Everyman job (in the Observer) Falcon has become a Monday regular in the FT, although appearing less frequently than Dante or Crux, say.

Financial Times 15,059 – Dante

October 29, 2015 at 5:28 pmOctober 22, 2015 at 12:05 am by Sil

Monday Prize Crossword / Oct 12, 2015

Dante on a Monday. Nothing new under the sun. That said, there weren’t that many cryptic definitions this time.

Financial Times 15,053 – Mudd

October 29, 2015 at 5:28 pmOctober 15, 2015 at 12:05 am by Sil

Monday Prize Crossword / Oct 5, 2015

Good crossword from Mudd, enjoyable as ever (despite an annoying typo in 1ac).

Financial Times 15,047 – Dante

October 29, 2015 at 5:31 pmOctober 8, 2015 at 12:05 am by Sil

Monday Prize Crossword / Sep 28, 2015

85% easy, 15% making me think. Blame it on the cryptic definitions.

Financial Times 15,041 – Crux

October 29, 2015 at 5:32 pmOctober 1, 2015 at 12:05 am by Sil

Monday Prize Crossword / Sep 21, 2015

It’s been a while since we had a Crux crossword but here he is again, with the inclusion of quite a few cryptic definitions.

Financial Times 15,035 – Dante

October 29, 2015 at 5:32 pmSeptember 24, 2015 at 12:05 am by Sil

Monday Prize Crossword / Sep 14, 2015

I’m afraid that I cannot remember much of what I felt when solving this Dante crossword. When writing the blog, I wasn’t particularly bewitched by many of the inevitable cryptic definitions.

Financial Times 15,029 – Armonie

October 29, 2015 at 5:33 pmSeptember 17, 2015 at 12:05 am by Sil

Monday Prize Crossword / Sep 7, 2015

Armonie’s crosswords mostly appear on a Tuesday but this puzzle made once more clear why many solvers think he is the ideal week-opener.
Easy, concise and accessible, generally smooth surfaces and surely no trickery.
