Round 3645 results

[Shani Naylor]

I'm closing the round early as everyone who submitted a def has voted, along with three more, to make a full complement of our current players.

Our winner is Nancy, with 7 unnatural points for her noisy Welsh bird. Debbie was runner up with 3 natural points. I scored a not great D6, for the real def which is an old word for an ancient chapel on the Isle of Man.

Take it away Nancy!

I take it that Judy voted by email. There isn’t a vote post from her in the group.
