Please note the following changes from previous years: There is no fee for this course, but registration is required. Also, the rooms need to be vacated by 5 PM, so we need to start promptly at 3:15 PM.

Scrabble meets every week at the Temple during our four regular semesters. All levels are welcome, and game boards are provided. You don’t need to attend every week, but you do need to register to participate. Please plan to arrive at about 3:00 pm, or a few minutes after. (We need the time from 3:00-3:15 to set up the boards and players so that we can start playing right at 3:15.) We generally have three to five games in play and there is room for more. Hopefully, you’ll become a regular.

Format: Players are rotated by the coordinators so that you play with different people every week – typically in groups of three, though sometimes we have a table of four or a table of two. We permit players to use dictionaries during the game; we only ask that you not spend your turn poring over the dictionary looking for a better word than the one you have! Cathy will be on hand for documentation and rule clarification. Sheila will create our groups each week and we shall see if Pete and Nikki will continue to hold onto their distinction as our Scrabble icons. Then join us afterwards, if you wish, for supper at a Providence restaurant. We have a list of 10 restaurants that we rotate through – four general menu restaurants, two pizza places, and Greek, Chinese, Indian, and Thai restaurants. There we can relax and unwind in a convivial group.
