Ah, Sunday. Time for a lesson in Scrabble words, as well as one about the importance of electrolytes in one's body.

Again, we had a few phony bingo words (*).

It was an excellent year and we might grow a bit more in 2013. It was not a good week for me, however; been down with a stomach bug the last 3 days, crawled out of bed this afternoon finally. I may be in tomorrow if the stomach quits hurting. If not, I'll stay home and whine some more. :D

I think it's worth reflecting on what a good year this has been for our club.  Here are just a few highlights:

1) Nineteen people played a total of 126 games in our monthly official meetings throughout the year.

2) With the help of the Charleston WV club, we held a NASPA-rated tourney in Kentucky after a nearly 2-year hiatus.  It went over so well that we're doing it again this coming February, this time opening it up to general registration (not just KY or WV).

3) We successfully navigated the transition to a new venue (Bob Evans) after the sudden and unexpected closure of Perkin's restaurant.

All in all, we once again proved ourselves to be a competitive, resilient, and most of all, fun-loving bunch of word freaks.  Looking forward to more good times in 2013.  Happy holidays!

December Official Meeting

We'll be having our final 2nd Sunday official meeting this Sunday (duh) Feb. 9, from 2-6pm at Bob Evans' Restaurant on Richmond Road in Lexington.  Come on out and join the fun!

Club tomorrow (12/2) and other happenings

Even though the blog has been rather quiet lately, Cheryl and I have been rather busy behind the scenes.  Here are some updates:

1) Name change.  You'll notice that we are now "Bluegrass Scrabble".  As she mentioned, Cheryl is working updating the blog and website accordingly.

2) Arrangements have been finalized, and our second joint tourney at with the Charleston WV club at Carter Caves is now on the calendar!  The date will be Feb. 2, 2013 (yes, Groundhog Day).  This time around, although there is a slight increase in the entry fee (from $25 to $30), the tourney will be a full Open Rated Tournament, open to any NASPA member, and not just restricted to KY or WV residents like last time.  Other than that, it will basically be the same 7-game format as before.

See the NASPA link here:

There will be a flyer and entrants list soon, but I wanted to go ahead and get the word out in advance.  If you are interested, please email me and I'll add you to the list.  I hope to see you there!

3) Club tomorrow.  I'm a "probable" for being there.  What about others?

Steve has notified NASPA of our change in name. I've changed the blog, still working on a web page redesign. Still to do: new business cards and flier.
