Geordie 9 Ethel 9.5 Ardamire 7.5 Morthoron 9 Dernwyn 9.5 Auntie 10! Lissuin 8 Judging be the excellent scores, I think we are getting better at this! A couple of you had a go at the bonus list, answers follow in a seperate post (in case the rest of you still want to play). Thank you again to our participants, many blessings be upon you in the New Year.
