Weekend Pear Review 62

Welcome to our weekend competition to compose a cryptic clue to be judged by your fellow contestants.

You may enter as many clues as you like, and everyone is welcome, particularly new entrants. Feel free to explain your clue, if you think it will help or to ask another entrant to parse their clue.

Clues should be posted before noon (UK time) on Sunday, January 10th. when voting opens. . Voting closes at 9 pm (UK time) the same day.

Entrants should vote for their favourite clue, indicating that entrant's name and clue number. The entry with the most votes wins and its composer sets next week's competition.

The setter has the deciding vote in the event of a tie.
He or she will declare the winner and award an online prize.

This weekend's challenge presents a choice:

SLATE (5)
SLATED (6)
SLATING (7)

Have fun.
