CVRDA Quiz - the 2017 CVRDA Craptic Crossword
CVRDA Quiz - the 2017 CVRDA Craptic Crossword
Season's Greetings
A little task to clear the head after the seasonal excesses – I give you the CVRDA craptic crossword.
All answers relate to things that have, at some point, been posted to the CVRDA forum.
Have a go at completing the crossword, the grid should print if you want it to. I couldn’t be bothered to code it up to make it interactive as there was a case of wine distracting me.
Hopefully not all the answers are not instantly Googleable or rely on attending a posh school.
There’s a bonus point if you can list all the classes mentioned in the quiz.
There is no prize, apart from a feeling of smug satisfaction if you get them all.
I’ll post the answers on New Years Day.

Just got back from work to discover I'm really not very clever... Will have to work out how to print it and get my mother, who knows nothing about boats, but everything about crosswords, involved after Christmas.
