On a damp evening at Jannali Gamerdome (aka Wayne’s common room) we welcomed the return of Nicole <\/strong>– back from her sojourn in the nation’s capital to her Engadine address. Welcome also to probable new member Valerie Hooper<\/strong>. Val<\/strong>, who comes from Amarillo in Texas, is a long time member of the Chuck Norris trivia team which also includes Rob <\/strong>and Matt<\/strong>, and she also has acquaintances in common with Tara<\/strong>. Only absentee tonight was Matt who is holidaying with his family somewhere near Coffs Harbour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The main game tonight was Sixty Second Scribble<\/em> which we play with an extended time limit of 90 seconds. In fact we further extended the time limit to 120 seconds for cards of the “tricky” level. My apologies for failing to start the timing device in the first tricky round, giving everyone about 250 seconds. The Sisters Tara <\/strong>and Nicole <\/strong>took out first and second place with Louise<\/strong> coming third. Louise<\/strong> got a second helping of points by getting 3rd in Pass the Pigs<\/em> which was won by Peter <\/strong>with Wayne<\/strong> 2nd. This gives Pete<\/strong> 50% of his score for the whole of 2025, so it looks like he might be making a determined effort to shake off the dreaded Wooden Spoon<\/em>. Rob and Val were the only unfortunates who WHP<\/em>* tonight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Note that this year we are attempting to have a default date for meetings to aid in forward planning. Meets will be scheduled for the third Monday of the month unless circumstances make it hard to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n *for newbies, WHP is W<\/strong>ent H<\/strong>ome P<\/strong>ointless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Welcome back Nicole and welcome Valerie On a damp evening at Jannali Gamerdome (aka Wayne’s common room) we welcomed the return of Nicole – back from her sojourn in the nation’s capital to her Engadine address.
