    The Gavotteers found a way to while away a few minutes by solving a jig-saw puzzle of the GAGB logo.

    You can find a download for it on the Miscellaneous page of the GAGB website.

    Go there now


    Thanks Gavotteers, Does anybody else have any contributions ?

    OK &#33;

    Tim and I have just had a race doing this puzzle, Tim won, by 15 seconds and finished in 13 minutes 47 seconds.

    Surely somebody can do better than that. :lol:

    It took me 18min 26sec. I would have been faster but didn&#39;t realise you could resize the window until 5mins through the game&#33;&#33;
