Scrabble meets every week at the Temple during our four regular semesters. All levels are welcome, and game boards are provided. 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 whole turn poring over the dictionary looking for a better word than the one you already have! 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. Cathy will be on hand for documentation and rule clarification. Sheila will create our groups each week and we shall see if Pete will continue to hold onto his distinction as our Scrabble icon.

Then join us afterwards, if you wish, for supper at a Providence restaurant. We have a list of nine restaurants that we rotate through – three general menu restaurants, two pizza places, and Greek, Chinese, Indian, and Thai restaurants. There we can relax and unwind in a convivial group.

Coordinators: Cathy Hurst and Sheila Zompa have been coordinating Scrabble for several years, following expert coordination by Bob Goodwin in previous seasons.
