Apologies for earlier than usual start - grandchildren duty has popped up unexpectedly, so I'll be in and out as they permit!

The idea is to start with a cryptic clue - set by me this week. The first correct solver, judged by the setter, is then invited to offer their clue and so on.

Once you have solved and then set a clue you cannot answer again for the time being - see below.

15 min time limit per clue and if not solved the setter must declare the clue 'open' and everybody can play again.

If an open clue is not solved quickly the setter should offer hints until someone can solve and continue.

Today's game closes around 6pm. If you would like to start CLUE CHAIN please volunteer next Monday.

This week's opening clue is:

Call meeting to decide if it is all right to be in monastery without Matthew and the rest (7)

Well done jws - over to you.

For anyone interested solution was OK within CONVENT minus the NT (New Testament, which starts with the gospel of Matthew)
