Have a little fun as you help someone else, and you could win a hamper of Fairtrade goodies.
Below are clues to popular songs, mostly of the 1960s and 70s (a few earlier and a few later). The clues are mostly cryptic or just bad puns, a few are factual (occasionally a mix). A terminal apostrophe is clued as e.g. Fishin' (6'), in the middle of a word it is ignored, e.g. she'll (5)
Solve as many as you can (you don't have to complete it) and send your entry to Mrs Walker, Upper Bottle House, Stane St., Slinfold, RH13 0RE, together with a donation of at least £3 for Christian Aid (If you can fill in the Gift Aid declaration at the end, your gift is worth even more). Closing date is May 31st 2011.
The winner, whoever correctly solves the most clues, will be announced at morning service, St. Peter's, Slinfold, on June 5th and the prize delivered in the next few days
In the event of a tie, the winner will be the person who, in the opinion of the committee, best completes this sentence, using ten or fewer words:-
