WOTM October 2020 final

If it wasn't for the dratted Wren Rule, Wren would have been this month's winner again, but the rule stands.  To be fair, Dom has given all of us a run for our money this month and is a clear and justified winner of the coveted virtual mug.  DavidH, Mirthless have made great travelling companions to myself in this competition, as have all the others who have had something posted this month.

Links to all the FPs, NiBs and LAs below the leader board and, as usual, the tickers are posted in the chat room.
