The ACC is a non-profit club where all moneys collected from members are used to produce the monthly magazine, Crozworld , and to provide prizes for correctly solving puzzles. It contains many professional crossword compilers including myself, Noel Jessop, Shirl O'Brien and Brian Gibson. The ACC was born in 1990 to continue the spirit of Alan Eason's Crossworders' Club after it concluded. The ACC was set up by ex-Crossworders' Club members Alan Walter, Noel Jessop and Carole Noble. The club's magazine, Crozworld , has been published every month since the club's inception and has grown from 4 puzzles to 6 puzzles and an occasional quiz.
Members come from all states of Australia.
The ACC uses the latest edition of Chambers English Dictionary and The Macquarie Dictionary as its primary reference books for spelling and meaning of words. The Macquarie Atlas is used to verify the spelling of geographical answers. Competitions Members are invited to enter the competitions in Crozworld . Puzzles 1-5 carry at least a money prize each, the winners of which are determined by selecting names from all those who correctly solved the puzzles. Joining The club is open to anyone with an Australian address, but overseas members are not encouraged due to the extra cost of postage and the additional processing required.
