Hello Matthew, your advent calendar idea seems wonderful. I've retired from teaching but still attend meetings of the Camborne (Cornwall) branch of ATM. We have our Christmas meeting on Saturday so I will pass this on.
You might have already had it pointed out that the closing date for entries is the beginning of 2016, but if we can't work out what's happened there then I don't suppose we have much chance with the competition. Happy Christmas, from Rob Rowlands

@Rob Rowlands: Thanks for passing it on. I've corrected the post to say end of 2016 (!).
