Still plodding with this.
Stuck on last 2 in bottom half:
30a Instruction on stage at last to cash Greek money (5) MA?E?
31d Part of bow possesses energy (5) ?A?S?
Cryptic part either has a missing or extra letter.
Aa always, any gentle hints appreciated

And the other one is 'instruction on stage minus it's last letter [as extra] + last letter of a word in the clue = Greek money.

Sorry to overpost but I don't like the 'to' in the clue of 30a and would advise reading the clue without it!

Thanks Nick.
Have quote from ODQ7, but seem to be 4 words short.
Have instruction, but a bit unclear in between "grid" and "missing" - I have AD? O/I ?N that I can't make sense of because I'm not clear on what the extra/missing letters are.
I think I know what the word should be, but any hints on sorting middle section of instruction would be appreciated.

ADJOIN is the word before missing. You should be four words short - three are in the grid but not in the perimeter and the other you must write below the grid. The ones in the grid twist and turn!

Perhaps twist and turn isn't a very good description - form a certain shape might be better. Sorry, Crackabilly, having real trouble expressing anything today!
