◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇ Updated to Here ◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

Okay, I updated the SU with some of the October Halloween Read-a-Thon info. Tomorrow I'll add page count.

Event #1 is on the left, Event #2 on the right (they are labeled at the bottom).

Team Members whose numbers are in light grey are not included in the Total.

If the numbers in a column are still in your Team's colors (as the example on the right), that means I do NOT have your info yet for that event... or I missed it!



Please double check - and let me know if you see any errors. Thanks!

Task 1: Theme #5: Something that scares you.

I'm sorry, have I got it wrong? I thought we could post after midnight gmt/bst on the fifth and it's almost midnight gnt/bst on the sixth.... I'm confused now :(

You're fine, Claire. I posted your Step 1 as done on both spreadsheets.

Sorry, Mary: HDLS, for not answering you sooner, but I didn't want to post something wrong - again!

Sonia had to rush off somewhere unexpectedly. However, when I asked her about posting times she responded with:

And btw, the posting days are only for clues, no hours required.

Hope this helps.

Ok so can we post task 2 as well or should we wait?

She'll post the clue for task 1 afterwards?

I'm sorry, Mary: HDLS, I don't know for sure about either of those. However, yes, I think she will be posting a clue.

...soon.
