For the second month running we have a new name at the top of the leader board – well done David! And just a few months into your CCCWC "career"!
 
The rest of the podium is filled by some more familiar names. Second place – for the second month running – missing out by just a single point this time is Luciano. After his win in August that's 3 podiums in a row – could be going for Dave P's record run!
 
Good to see Simon back in the frame with his first podium this year, back in third – an amusing anag. & lit.!
 
Margaret also scores her second podium in a row, achieving 4th spot with a very different surface reading.
 
Finally, CCCWC stalwart Warren grabs 5th place – first podium for a couple of years – with another interesting surface.
 
Well done to all – on to LOCK STOCK AND BARREL next!
