WOW! (not WWW) – a runaway winner this month! Hearty congratulations to John Hood who romped home in style! That's John's fourth podium of the year and puts him in the lead for the Annual Competition. A worthy winner with a clever definition and wordplay.
 
Second place goes to Philip Sant – second podium in a row – a neat definition and the semi &lit surface particularly clever.
 
Third place goes to Nic Pursey, a concise clue with inventive wordplay.
 
Vinod extended his podium run to three in a row with a cleverly disguised definition.
 
Charlie Oakley followed his win of last month with an ultra-concise cryptic definition.
 
Thanks to all as always for the entertainment…satisfaction to ensue shortly.
