| The first time I went to Scrabble Club, in Victoria in summer 2001, I got a triple-triple and won against the club's 2nd highest rated player at the time. In subsequent weeks I got my ass kicked a few times. All part of the game: I still get my ass kicked. Oh, Joe Edley, I'm no longer Director of the Regina Club. Sorry. (Lam is currently one of our club directors.) | |
| Other Interests: Yes. |

| I have been playing Scrabble since I was a child, but have been playing competitively since August 2000. I enjoy it because it challenges your brain but is fun at the same time. I like the strategic part of the game along with learning new words. (Miriam is one of our Club Directors.) | |
| Other Interests: my kids, my religion (Christian), cats, reading, walking. |

| I signed up for a course at the Vancouver School Board's Night School entitled Introduction to Competitive Scrabble in 2003. Prior to that, I was unaware that the world of competitive Scrabble even existed or that there even was a Vancouver Scrabble Club, which I joined shortly after. I played in my first tournament in March 2004. I love tournaments, both for the competition and for the friendships I have made at them.(John is currently one of our club directors.) | |
| Other Interests: yoga, spending as much time as possible at the beach. |

| I have been playing Scrabble competitively since February 2002. I designed this web site and try to keep it updated. Scrabble can be frustrating at times, but there is something about it that keeps me coming back for more punishment. Despite my extremely erratic play, I somehow manage to win some games. I am currently the highest-rated player in British Columbia, and that's just wrong. | |
| Other Interests: reading, mathematics, computer games, various forms of vegetating. |
