Want To Know About Cryptic Crosswords?

[anaxcrosswords]

Solvers/setters regularly meet up for what we call 'Sloggers & Betters', but these are usually only announced on the crossword blogs. We're trying something new this Saturday 8th July at the Snowgoose Cafe in Macclesfield - a Q&A session with 3 of the UK's top setters.
Everyone with an interest in crosswords is welcome and it's free; it'll start around 2pm. There's a pretty healthy cryptic-solving presence here on AB and it would be really good to see some of you there.
Put SK11 6HN into your satnav. And full details of thevent are here:
