Tabloid Times smart to include hotel's weekend youth gathering (6,6)
I believe the answer is:
sunday school
'weekend youth gathering' is the definition.
(religious school for children)
'tabloid times smart to include hotel's' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'tabloid' could be 'sun' (the Sun is a UK tabloid newspaper) and 'sun' is found in the answer.
'times' could be 'days' (day is a unit of time) and 'days' is present in the answer.
'hotel' could be 'h' (phonetic alphabet) and 'h' is found within the answer.
'smart' could be 'cool' and 'cool' is located in the leftover letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sunday school that I've seen before include "Religious classes" , "classes for little angels?" .)
