he Ilford tournament returned on the 3rd April for the first time since the start of the pandemic, and was attended by two club members, Richard Spencer and Fiona Titcombe.  Eight games were played over the course of the day, Richard playing in division B and Fiona in division C.

Both players started well, winning their first few games.  Richard's good run continued, and his six wins (+412 spread) were enough to secure him the third place prize for his division.  Well done Richard!  Fiona finished on four wins (+75 spread), a decent effort for her second tournament.

Aside from the scrabble, a definite highlight of the event was the excellent cakes kindly provided by Stella Burley! The next Ilford tournament is planned for the 26 June.

Thanks for Fiona for the above report - here is Richard receiving his prize.
