A new record may have been created at the Wyong Tournament when everyone had arrived by 9:00 a.m. and we actually were able to start EARLY!!!
With additional novelty prizes to send people crazy (for April Fool's Day) as well as generous cash prizes, trophies and key fobs, there were plenty of happy people at the end of a great day of Scrabble.
Our thanks to the legendary Fred Reynolds for his superb compering skills, to the tireless ladies inthe kitchen, Nancy and Leone who kept us well fed all day and to Helen and Donna for a well run tournament.
It was interesting to note that the 1st three places in Masters Division were taken out by the gents and the three places in all other divisions were won by the ladies.
