The theme for the BCD 2019 House Party (held every two years) was 'All Around the World'.
The map jigsaw, with its box, shows a wooden Chad Valley jigsaw, showing Imperial and Global Communications links. The small Cornish seaside resort village of Porthcurno, with its famous outdoors Minnack cliff theatre, is a hub for telegraph cable communications. The first line arrived in 1870.

On the left edge is a small wooden jigsaw made in Australia, 'Kookagurra, Austral Zig Saw', which the owner believes might be 1930s. It shows a sailing ship, 'Sailing Home at Sunset' and is dissected with curved zig-zag lines.
