New Year, New Quiz, & New Charity Too?

Happy New Year to all my quizzers! 

Thanks to everyone for their support this year.

The next quiz is already in preparation and will be another 'Famous Women' quiz.

We've now raised over £10k for Macmillan Cancer Support since I started doing my cryptic quizzes two years ago........so I'm wondering if now is an appropriate time to support another important charity - MIND.  Please let me know what you think by posting your comments below.

Thanks again.

CORRECTION & CLARIFICATIONS: The Winter Quiz 2013

Earlier copies of this quiz contain an error:  Q 87  should be (3,9) and not (3,10).

Also:-
Q 64 is more correctly spelt as two words not one so should be (4,7) rather than (11)
and
Q78 is more properly spelt as four words not three so should be (3,3,4,4) not (3,7,4).

Apologies for these oversights...

The Winter 2013 Quiz is now available.
