Thanks mintyman.

Thanks kaya...

[Mysterons]

Thanks mintyman and K and congrats to the winners !

[crucifernz]

There's an error in the printed solution for 1937. 3 DOWN should be ARENAS, not ARENAA!

[cruciverbali]

Well spotted crucifernz.

Thanks for the links folks - an enjoyable puzzle with a popular theme. In fact all four pairings can be found in Brewers, 17th Edition, available on-line via Credo reference.

[MLN:RUGBY]

Thanks Kayakamina & all for congratulations ;-)

[Ruthrobin]

Enjoyable, I agree, and I have completed it using the Internet, but couldn't find a single one in Brewer. I do have the seventeenth edition but, with the lack of a real index, don't know where to look for this one!

[Mysterons]

They are all there, listed under 'Nouns of Assemblage'

[Ruthrobin]

Thanks, Mysterons.

[Ont-ice]

Thanks Kayakamina.
Congratulations to MNL and Mr. McBain if he is also an Abacker and may be reading this.
Two weeks in a row now that ABackers have won. Slaney being the winner last week.
I do think that I had rather an edge with this one having spent many years in the airline industry.
Thanks to all for your good wishes.

[Minoru]

Please note for interest there is now an 18th edition of Brewer's now available

[Ont-ice]

Apologies for the typos. Of course my message should have read ABank and not ABack.

[Christiana]

Belated thanks for crossword and warm congratulations to MLN Rugby and Ont-ice

[crucifernz]

There are plenty of online sources for the unclued lights - essential as I don't have Brewer. I felt that Doc's clueing was almost too straightforward this week - a very quick solve!

Congratulations.
