Thank you mamya, I was expecting a latin word peculiar to the Roman Church - I'll give it a try to win some money :-)

Hi again both,
It was a bit of a guess so I googled it and without getting a direct translation 1 of the options includes "audiencus" in a piece of Latin text. I took audiencia to be the plural, all stemming from the verb Audire.

It is a good shout and hopefully right - I did not like my offering because of the singular/plural conflict.
