Everyone is welcome
Want to play, but not sure if you have what it takes? Don't worry, you're not alone. Newcomers are always welcome at our events. After you register, we will get in touch with you to set up a format that works for you where you can play in a group with other newcomers. You can also participate for a shorter period if you like, so that you can just join us for the morning or afternoon session if you are not ready for a full day. Learn to play and improve your Scrabble skills in a more relaxed way, while making some new friends and having fun!
All ages/families are welcome to drop in for some casual games too.
