Neville Moses has provided two puzzles to keep you occupied between sessions. Entries must be lodged at the reception desk or emailed to anc2014@abf.com.au by 2:30pm on Friday 18th July.

Puzzle One
This first puzzle is an Acrostic. Solve the cryptic bridge clues and the name of a famous race horse will appear between the arrows. Then fill in the entry form below with your name and that of the horse. All correct entries of the Acrostic will go into a draw at the Victory Dinner.

Clues
1. Hunted Contract (4)

2. Bathhouse Squeeze (8)

3. Cancel? The Establishment may prohibit it (6)

4. It may be simple. Just stop the fellow leaving (7)

6. Grewcock is on the ball at the convention (8)
7. Come close together but it may cause partner discomfort (6)

8. I hear it's a lonely wait for this card (7)

9. Find this expert at a convenience in George Street (7)

Puzzle Two
The second puzzle is a horse naming competition of a foal being the result of an hypothetical mating of two Melbourne Cup winners: Sire (1992) Subzero Dam (1992) Let's Elope.

The name must be no more than four words long and easily pronounceable by a race caller. (Example: "Love in the Freezer"). Neville is the sole judge of the best foal's name which, again, must be in by 2:30pm Friday. The winner will be announced at the Victory Dinner.

Give the puzzles a go and you may win a prize!
Good Luck!
