Not at all, Dandelion. You're a superb contributer. Just a slip if the "pen", I'm sure.

See what you think of this!

A??L????? CLUB abbreviates to AC (this club)

An anagram of THE LIST & AC gives the type of club.


Well, this is the Wee Stinker after all.

Trevor.
Further to last evening the answer would appear to be SPECTACLE = show. An anagram of "etc + claps + E" . But, I agree with you. How can &c be etc? Also, where's the anagram indicator?
Either it's a very bad clue OR the answer is NOT spectacle AND there's no anagram.
What dost thou think?
