I'll assume that everyone who joined in the last hunt wants to join in again. If not please let us know on this thread. Usual passwords etc. I'll sign us up with the usual team name . Can I again ask Maisie and Giraffe to register as tem members for the sole reason of picking up emails if we get any.

I'm teaching all day tomorrow, and then doing Brownies and going to a boring meeting afterwards, so I'll have a look and see if there's anything vaguely printable that I can take with me to school for the lessons when the kids don't turn up! There's got to be some advantage in sitting in a 2m square room all day. :roll: If I find anything useful I'll post on google docs when I get back. I'm very overexcited!!! I love the puzzle hunts!!!!! :ugeek:

I'll see if I can find time to have a look (before you clover lot solve them all - LOL). A single thread with links and info is always a good idea.

Would people who think they ought to be able to see the forum but can't, please send me a PM.

And to forestall certain messages, just check to make sure you really can't see it before you do. Not that anyone would dream of asking me to do something that I've already done. :lol: :wink:
