Each year at Christmas, following the Scandinavian custom, BtP sets twelve days of Procol puzzles which great numbers of the band's adherents follow with much interest and merriment ... at the end of the trail is typically a tiny answer, which you send in by e-mail to the webmasters, to win one (or more?) of the prizes below. The puzzles start on Christmas Day and we've come up with something rather different this year (all is revealed here) for which all the information is at 'Beyond the Pale', the only Procol Harum work of reference you'll need.
This year's fine freebies are, we trust you'll agree, quite as covetable as those from 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 or 2015: special thanks to Procol Harum and all the other kind donors.

Competitors should rank the above prizes in the order they favour them, and send in their preference – all eight letters, please! – with the solution to the puzzles. Your message will look something like: "The five-word answer is [x x x x x] and my prize preferences are GAEBFCDH". We shall allot the first three prizes on a beat-the-clock basis, where the earliest correct response earns its first choice of prize and so on; after that all subsequent correct entries received in the next 48 hours will be placed in the BtP Homburg and the remaining prize-winners will be drawn by a suitably Glamorous Assistant, all being well. In the somewhat unlikely event of there being fewer than eight winners, the first people to submit correct answers will get more than their fair share of the prizes! The quiz starts on Christmas Day and runs through to Twelfth Night. You can join in at any time, if you have a pencil and an internet connection. |
