Executives of the Guyana Association of Scrabble Players (GASP) are continuing its drive to take the sport to a wide cross section of citizens and this morning will be staging a Beginner’s competition at the Malteenoes Sports Club, Thomas lands.
Registration commenced earlier last week and the organizers are expecting a large turnout.
The players will contest over 4 rounds and the tournament gets underway at 13:00hrs sharp. Officials of the GASP executive committee are encouraging students from Primary and Secondary Schools to take advantage of this opportunity to enhance their vocabulary while participating in the tournament which is also enjoyable and fun filled.
Members of GASP are asked to ensure that adequate boards and clocks are at the venue at least 30 minutes before the tournament is scheduled to get underway.
