VICTORIA SUCCEEDS AT THE NATIONALS
Victoria hosted the 2023 Australian Scrabble Championship at Windy Hill, Essendon, over the Easter break. Congratulations to Naween Fernando for winning the Championship for the fourth time! In the Plate, Kris Howat was victorious - a Victorian last won the Plate in 2010 (coincidentally when Naween also won the Championship).
Victoria went 1-2-3 in the Main Event, making it one of our best collective performances in the history of the event. Congratulations to all prize winners and thank you to everyone who supported the event.

BALLARAT
The Ballarat Scrabble Club once again hosted us at the Victoria Bowling Club with the food on display absolutely delicious accompanied by a smooth day of play. Two divisions played 6 games each and we were finished by 4.30pm.
SUNDAY SESSIONS 1
This was a really enjoyable afternoon in Airport West! We welcomed back two returning players as well as someone playing one of our events for the first time. Each Division was a close run competition with outcomes in the final round determining the end positions. It was wonderful to see different names on the "podium"; congratulations to all our prize winners and a huge thank you to all players for their support.
Thanks also to Rob York for finding the venue - as a venue, it can accommodate many more of us. We return there later in the year so stay tuned if you want to be a part of this event!
BAYSIDE 1
We had a really good turnout today for our Bayside event; as always, Mordy HQ provided wonderful food and plenty of tea and coffee through the day. The Scrabble was extremely enjoyable, as we welcomed back Michael Hornung and Del Stitz after extended absences from our events! Congratulations to our prize winners (David, Edward, Dianne, Mardi, and Naween) and thank you to everyone for supporting the event so well. Naween's 614 high game score is the first for us over 600 in 2023, and we look forward to seeing many more.
