This brand new Charity Quiz of 100 cryptic clues is now available.

Compiled by your very own puzzle solver and maker, gen2, this quiz has been 9 months in the making and comprises 100 cryptic clues on the theme of 'Not Holly but Ivy'. Every answer contains the same two consecutive letters. That must make it easy, particularly the shorter answers, since you already know two letters in every answer!

The quiz is to raise funds for the upkeep of the premises owned by Kirkcaldy Art Club (Registered Scotish Charity number SCO 37822).

Closing date is January 31st 2010.

If you enjoy the 'Rainbow Quizzes', or have recently enjoyed Crofter's Dragonfly Quizzes for Pauline, or even my previous offerings of 'Rocky Horrors', 'Terrible Twos' or 'ART-TRA', then I am sure you will enjoy the 'Not Holly but Ivy' one as well.

Do you have friends, relatives or work colleagues who enjoy these types of quiz? Then why not order several copies?

Can you possibly email it??

[gen2]

Not at the moment amadeusamati.
It will need approval from the committee.
Last year we made an exception because of the postal strikes and then only two thirds of the emailed copies were returned.
Cash up front is preferred.
