Hi Strands fans. A nice and easy one, once you get an answer on the board, though the spangram is one of those tricky ones that forms a circle (ironically and possibly intentionally around the word CIRCLE).
Unfortunately, the theme of "Find your people" was a bit too obtuse for me to figure out right away, and I had to use a clue.
When it revealed CLUB, I was kicking myself, but I now had a hitlist of likely words to look for. I duly found SOCIETY in the bottom left and GROUP above it at the top. BUNCH was neatly tucked beneath SOCIETY, and CROWD was to the right of GROUP.
With this, I was finally able to figure out how the 'Q' on the right-hand side fit in: it was part of CLIQUE. I then spotted CIRCLE in the middle of the board, meaning I just had to follow the ring around it to spell out the spangram.
No, it wasn't HIPFELLOWS. It was, in fact, FELLOWSHIP.
