Gala Clue
Camoflaged, it’s hard to spot
An easy find this is not
In Emergencies it should be used
Why Hard to Find? I’m so confused.
The bottom of the square is where you should go
To find this division not really on show.

Answer: H – The fire hydrant sign on the wall of the Portaferry Credit Union

Congratulations to the winner of the Gala Clue: Jacqueline Murray
