Four members of East Berks travelled to the Isle of Wight for the annual tournament.
The tournament is actually 2 round-robins back-to-back with promotion and relegation between divisions after the first tournament.
For the first tournament Graham played in A (and subsequently got relegated to B), Helen played in B (finished third and got promoted to A), and Tricia and Maureen both played in Division C. Maureen finished mid-table, but Tricia despite being one of the lower ranked players in her division stormed through winning the Division with 8 wins out of 10 (+328 spread). Well done to the Helen and Tricia!

In the second tournament Tricia and Helen found the going harder in their promoted divisions but both achieved their start rating standard. Maureen again finished mid-table in her division, and Graham won Division B with a game to spare! ((9 wins +539). Well done to Graham!

The hotel is right on the sea-front and the weather was just kind enough to have a short walk between games enjoying the sea air!

56 players recently attended the Ilford Round Robin on 26 January.
Richard Spencer was East Berks' sole representative and played in Division C. Despite losing an early game, Richard was leading his Division prior to the last game, and although he suffered a loss in that game, he still won the division comfortably (6 wins and +252 points of spread). Well done Richard!

Over the weekend of the 16/17 November 60 players took part in the UK's Winter Matchplay Championships in Milton Keynes. Most if the players were UK based, but some of the participants had travelled from all over the world and were treating this as a 'warmup' for the Mattel Scrabble World Championships being held a few days later in Torquay.
The sole East Berks Player to participate at Milton Keynes was Richard Spencer who was rated as the 13th best player (out of 18) in Division B.
Richard played well above rating for all the tournament, rarely dropping out of the top 3, and despite losing a couple of games late on in the tournament managed to secure a worthy second place. Well done Richard ! (Photo courtesy of Nicky Deco)
