Firstly, former deputy webmaster Evan Simpson is now a full committee member and after the AGM, another committee change will lake place: Viv Beckmann, who has excelled as membership secretary for a number of years, will step down, and Anne Ramsay will take over her role. Any other members wishing to join the committee should contact the Chair (Allan Simmons) or Secretary (Amy Byrne) for more information, as there are spaces available after recent departures. Other than the three Officers the constitution allows for a further eleven Committee members, excepting the Mattel rep. With Jackie's departure it would be great if we could have someone to handle the publicity, especially for the BMSC, Masters and coordination of National Scrabble Week. Many of you will be aware of Pete Finley's penalty challenge petition seeking support for rating penalty challenge events alongside free challenge events. This was presented to committee in June alongside submissions from those who are against the idea, and the Committee has taken a decision on how the ABSP should proceed on this issue and there is a statement overleaf. How many rated games do you play in a year? If you answered "too many to count", you may be interested to know that the Committee are instituting an annual award for the most prolific player. (Amy "Every-Tourney" Byrne honourably excluded herself from this discussion!) Current thinking is to prohibit anyone from winning the award more than once within five years. If you have a view on this, contact TLW or alternatively, a private message can be relayed to the Committee through the Chair, Secretary or any other committee member. Having prepared the 2005 handbook in its new loose-leaf format and obtained the A5 binders for distribution, the Committee have decided to hold back the printing because of the potential changes after the AGM (eg Committee, Dictionary, Rules) and the fact that there were very few changes to the 2004 edition. The only change to note was rule 4.10.5 published in the last TLW. It also means we will be able to give out the binders to a lot of members at the BMSC itself and save postage. The next assembly of the committee will be in Stafford at the BMSC in August. I and the rest of the Committee hope to see many of you there! The Committee welcomes the fallowing new members: Name Mem. No. Name Mem. No Name Mem. No. Gerry Gleeson 1401 Mis J. Hanson 1406 Rebecca Sheldrick 1411 Samantha Cooper 1402 Janet Hudson 1407 Melanie Beaumont 1412 Emma Brown 1403 Rael Hayman 1408 Geoff Goodwin 1413 Chris Harrison 1404 Mick Beasley 1409 Mark Newman 1414 Elizabeth McNab 1405 Hllbre Jenkins 1410 Paul McCarthy 1415 Richard Woodward 1416 VARIATIONS ON A THEME Thii it tha committee statement on rating variationt to the standard Scrabble rules "The committee has followed the renewed debate amongst members about varying the standard rules of play in rated tournaments. It has decided that without adequate formation about demand for, or experience of, playing to various alternative rules it can not properly or fully advise the membership whether any variation to the game rules should be allowed. It has therefore decided that tournament organisers who wish to offer rated games using a variation of the current challenge and/or time allowance rules may do so from now until the end of 2006, when the committee will review the findings. The committee wishes to remind members that 'free challenge' games with 25 minutes per player are the standard for ABSP rated games. Tournament organisers MUST contact the Tournament Coordinator, Paul Cartman, if they wish to offer any variation to the existing game rules. Granting of ratings approval for any non-standard tournament will Ik? assessed by the whole committee on a case-by-case basis." In conjunction with this, Evan Simpson has produced a set of FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) regarding Penalty Challenges which can be found after the draft agenda for the 2005 AGm to be held at Yarnfield Park during the BMSC. Speaking of which...! LADIES ... AND NOW GENTLEMAN! It has been talked about for many a year but this year it has finally happened thanks to Mike O'Rourke. Therefore ABSP is pleased to announce the introduction of a mens' event to run parallel to the ladies' event at Yarnfield Park on August 26th-27th, immediately prior to BMSC on August 27th-29th. Entrants will be competing for the John Rusted Memorial Trpohy, which has been kindly donated by John's family. Entry forms are included with this issue ofTLW. Saturday lunch will be available for all players resident at Yarnfield Park on Friday night, and must be paid for at the time. Please note that lunch will not be provided for BMSC entrants arriving on Saturday. Forms should be sent to Sarah Wilks, and please remember to add £45 for the Friday night's stay at Yarnfield Park. BMSC 2005 There are still places left for the BMSC so hurry and get your entry forms in! The closing date is August 8th, although late entries maybe accepted after that date. One of the main reason to be there is to exercise your power at the ACM by voting on i ther motions put forward by the Committee and other members of the ABSP. The draft agenda is printed on the following pages. The meeting will take place at 8.30pm on the 28th August at Yarnfield Park. DRAFT A6ENDA 1 To receive the Chairman's report (this will be published next TLW) 2 To receive and consider the accounts of the Association for 2004, and the associated Auditor's and Treasurer's reports (the accounts are currently being audited and will be published next TLW) 3 To elect the officers and other members of the Committee The current Committee consists of: Viv Beckmann, Amy Byrne, Paul Cartman, Elie Dangoor, Darryl Francis, Stewart Holden, Liz Jardine, Wayne Kelly, Ross Mackenzie, Steve Perry, Allan Simmons, Alec Webb, plus Philip Nelkon as Mattel representative. Evan Simpson would have formally joined the Committee at the meeting on June 4th. Viv Beckmann is standing down at the AGM and will be replaced by Anne Ramsay as the new membership secretary. The officers of the Committee are currently: Allan Simmons (Chairman) Amy Byrne (Secretary) Ross Mackenzie (Treasurer) Our honorary President is Gyles Brandreth. All the officers intend to stand again for these roles. All other Committee members are standing except as indicated above. 4 To confirm the Auditor for the year 2005 (Yoke Shin) 5 To fix the subscription for 2006 It is proposed that the subscription remains at £15 per annum 6 MOTIONS These are detailed below and will be addressed in the order shown 6.1 Adoption of Collins Scrabble Words 2006 "It is proposed that the ABSP should adopt Collins Scrabble Words 2006 (CSW2006) with effect from 1 st January 2006. If adopted, CSW2006 would be the official word authority for all ABSP-rated and ABSP-sponsored Scrabble events and tournaments." proposer: Darryl Francis seconder: Allan Simmons NB: At the time of this proposal for the draft agenda (May 2005), the ABSP Dictionary Committee has not seen a final version of CSW2006, so the above proposal is conditional on CSW2006 being of a standard acceptable to the ABSP Dictionary Committee.

  • WESPA Rules OK AGM Minutes - Page 2
    Bimonthly Magazine for the Association of British Scrabble Players Brett wins BMSC for fourth time page 13 WESPA Rules OK AGM Minutes - page 2 Prize Puzzle page 15 Lorraine Feather sings Scrabble page 34 Issue 134 - October 2010 from the editor Well, here I am back in the editor’s chair and already questioning my sanity. Nevertheless, I do have enough of my marbles left to know how much I owe to everybody who has sent me material of some sort for inclusion. I really cannot produce a magazine without you lot, so please do keep giving a thought to what you may contribute. This, of course is issue number 1 of the newsletter under the new title of OnBoard. It was very gratifying to receive so many name suggestions - over 50 - and I am happy with the final choice. The full array of suggestions was emailed to committee members with the request that they send me short lists of their favourites. I had hoped by this means to create my own short list to put to an AGM vote, however the title of OnBoard was the favourite of seven out of the eleven replies I received; and five of those seven declined to add any other names to their list. OnBoard was unchallengeable as the new title. Here is a list of the suggested titles as received by the committee - they were not informed as to who had proposed what. I was pleased to be able to tell them that their popular choice had been solely the suggestion of outgoing editor Elisabeth Jardine.

  • INITIATION KIT January 2012
    New Collins Scrabble® Words INITIATION KIT January 2012 Compiled by David Sutton under direction of the WESPA Dictionary Committee Based on the WESPA wordlist, copyright of Harper Collins 2011, and published with permission of HarperCollins publishers A SELECTION OF USEFUL WORDS FROM OVER 2,000 ADDITIONAL 2-9 LETTER WORDS ALLOWED IN COLLINS SCRABBLE® WORDS (CSW) 2012 EDITION SCRABBLE is a registered trademark of J W Spears & Sons Ltd, a Mattel company This booklet is copyright of WESPA © January 2012 Version 1.2 Jan, 2012 1 INTRODUCTION I have always looked at the introduction of new words with a mixture of joy and trepidation - joy, because all new words enrich our game, and some of them are words I have heard of, but been unable to play; trepidation, because it is usually difficult to absorb changes straight away, so this must happen over time. The task of absorbing the additions and deletions is made vastly easier by the Initiation Kit, and due to the relatively fewer changes this time, it has been possible to produce a more comprehensive list of the changes as well as definitions, and I am grateful to David Sutton, Allan Simmons and Darryl Francis for producing it. It is intended that the new list will be used in WESPA-rated tournaments from 1 January 2012. With best wishes, Elie Dangoor WESPA Chairman Version History 1.0 May 2011 First issue 1.1 May 2011 Corrected definition of OI: it's a bird, not a bloke 1.2 Jan 2012 Removed erroneous indication of –S hook on BASEN Version 1.2 Jan, 2012 2 The Purpose of this Booklet The transition from the 2007 version of the Collins Scrabble Tournament & Club Word List (hereinafter referred to as CSW07) to the 2012 version (hereinafter referred to as CSW12) is a smaller one than has been the case with updates in the past, involving 2023 new words of length 3 to 9 letters (there are no new 2-letter words), together with the deletion of 203 words of length 3 to 9 that are no longer supported by the source dictionaries.
