(January 12, 2025) 22 of us! Well, about 22 of us are considered active members of the Asheville Tile-Slingers. Stephens-Lee was closed today because of snowy, icy conditions, so we will get together next Sunday afternoon.

This just in to our newsroom tonight: The Tile Slingers will be hosting a two-day A-1 Solstice “Spring into Summer” Scrabble Tournament on June 21 and 22! It will be supported by the Word Game Players Organization, and we will be using their word list called WOW24! We will be switching back to those words at club as well. The flyer will be available for review on the website home page.

The New Year brings up the subject of dues. We will not need to increase dues this year, so we are again looking at $25 per person to help with equipment, copying expenses, the website, and a little less than $200 to hold our place at Stephens-Lee. “But, I don’t come to club very often.” OK, come see us more often. No seriously, if $2.00 per Sunday makes more sense, you can pay as you go.

We are enjoying our luxurious space in the larger room on Sunday afternoons. Getting there on time really helps with pairings. Playing in two divisions is a great thing, especially when we can get our numbers up. “Waiting to play” is not such a great thing, and waits are longer when we have divisions.

I’m revising and improving (hopefully) the PowerPoints published weekly on the Bingos page. Check ‘em out!

Hope to see many of you next week!
