"FLIER" for a NEW QUIZ

Consider the following cryptic clues ~ all answers begin with the letter "B"

1. Place associated with "The Wash"? (4)
2. Beer - not mild to the North (7)
3. Biblical character has female graduate chasing No.1 (9)
4. We are embraced by brother often blamed for droop! (6)
5. Vanessa is a painted lady, perhaps (9)
6. Prefers to grow by the coast, by all accounts (5,4)

One answer is a bird, one an occupation, one a creature, another a person's name, another a plant and the final one is a city (in some order).

Interested? There are 100 similar clues in the Dragonfly Quiz entitled "The Birds and the B's" and copies can be obtained from the organiser: Mrs Pauline Ward, 9 Hassop Road, Reddish, Stockport, Cheshire, SK5 6ST. Entry is �1 and cheques should be made payable to "Stockport NHS Foundation Trust (Dragonfly Team)" which will support the work of a local Children's Hospice. Don't forget to enclose a stamped addressed envelope.

You will have until the end of October to submit your answers and �50 has been allocated for prizes ~ including a prize for obtaining the average score and another prize for scoring below the average!
