In memory of Mandy de Winter
Donations cannot currently be made to this page
Severn Hospice provides specialist care and emotional support for families in Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin and Mid Wales living with an incurable illness. All our care is provided for free, but it is not without cost - we have to raise £2 for every £3 we spend. It's because you care that we can.

Story

Mandy de Winter was an amazing circle dancer, choreographer, musician, singer and human being with a loving heart and a great sense of humour.

I'm Andrew Good, and I have created The Grapevine Puzzle Book to raise money for the Severn Hospice who cared for Mandy in her last days. Some of the 24 puzzles have appeared in "Grapevine", the quarterly circle dance magazine, but most are published here for the first time. All the puzzles are related in some way to circle dance, circles or dances.

For your copy of The Grapevine Puzzle Book , simply make a donation here. We suggest a donation of £5 but just give whatever you can afford. Then, since JustGiving doesn’t always tell me your email address, please send an email to me at agood@venice.plus.com with “Grapevine Puzzle Book” as the Subject, and I'll email you the puzzle book and the accompanying answer book (as PDF files).

Here's a taste of what to expect.

- This dancer's real name was Frederick Austerlitz. What stage name was he known by?

- Identify the ballet from the anagram: DO REJOIN AMULET.

Each of the next two answers contains either "circle" or "dance":

- 1969 film starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford.

- It runs from Edgware Road to Edgware Road.

Solving this cryptic clue should give you a circle dance move.

- Skirmish with a fox: tail-end of it. (5 letters)

Severn Hospice is with families from the moment they're referred to its care for as long as they need it, and it does this every day, all day for anyone in Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin and Mid Wales who needs that help.

It does this for them for free, but it is not without cost and it can't happen without you. For every £1 you donate, the hospice will spend 87p directly on care – and use the remaining 13p to make another £1.

Last year, all those individual donations meant the hospice could be there when it mattered for 3,000 local families.
