Whether you’re young or old, if you enjoy crosswords, you’ll want to take part in these free East Gippsland Shire Libraries events. The Bairnsdale Library will host David Astle, crossword maker for 'The Age' and the 'Sydney Morning Herald'. He is also star of the SBS show 'Letter and Numbers' and author of 'Wordburger', a guide to cryptic crosswords for children or beginners.
The author will visit on Wednesday, June 15 and host two workshops, one aimed at children aged 7–13 and one for adults. For the adults a cryptic crossword workshop will be held from 2pm. David will help you peek inside the black-and-white box of a cryptic crossword. Far more than your chance to unravel a single puzzle, David’s chat is a challenge to open your mind to deeper wordplay. The session will allow your brain to flex and your imagination to germinate, ready for any future conundrum.
Bookings are essential and can be made by contacting the library on 5152 4225.
