Seventeen, sometimes bemused, tried not to get confused,

By Derek's fiendish mind, and the answers they had to find,

 

The weather boded well, as we left the Wharf Hotel;

Directions all came in verse, some were easy some perverse.

​

In Welford local passers-by, enquired of teams just "why-

we wandered here and there"; was there help they could share?

​

Answer sheets handed in, marking started, who would win?
First came our ordered food, beer and ale locally brewed.

​

Close contest no-one shamed, the winning four were then named, 

Treasured wine taken away. Must do this again some day?

​

Evenings end, getting dark, jolly social - what a lark

Thanks to Derek, Julia too, and David Scott helped us through.
