Times Crossword Championships – the real reason most of us turn up! :-)

Author   linxitPosted on Categories Announcement
There will be a meeting for crossword setters and solvers at The George, Borough High Street, Southwark, London, SE1 1NH, coinciding with the annual Times Crossword Championship. The meeting will begin at 11:00 am on Saturday 17th October 2015, which is when The George opens, and continue until late into the evening.

It is hoped that a number of the setters from the national newspapers will put in an appearance. There should also be a cross-section of bloggers and readers from Big Dave’s Crossword Blog, Times for the Times and Fifteensquared. And last, but by no means least, competitors in the Times Crossword Championship will be popping in between the semi-finals and finals of the competition – the winner to celebrate and the rest to drown their sorrows.

If you’ve never been before, this is a very friendly function and provides the opportunity to meet other like-minded people. I’ll also be gathering thoughts and opinions on what form our own 10th Anniversary celebrations should take on 5th December, and a further announcement about that will go out in the following week.

  1. Look forward to seeing you there! *Probably* quite early on in the afternoon, but you never know…
  3. As a newbie – to the crossword championship as well as to commenting on this blog (apart from a few times several years ago) – I hope to pop in and say hello. If the trauma of the competition hasn’t been too great…
    1. Look forward to meeting you – there’ll be a large table strewn with crossword printouts and empty pint glasses probably, so just introduce yourself.
