Thanks to\u00a0Louise\u00a0<\/strong>for having us over in March for a challenging game of\u00a0Word Power<\/em>\u00a0that took so long to play that the scheduled backup\u00a0Smart Ass<\/em>\u00a0had to be abandoned. To avoid too much disappointment\u00a0Genelle<\/strong>\u00a0has chosen\u00a0Smart Ass<\/em>\u00a0as the April backup.\u00a0Gill<\/strong>\u00a0was feeling off colour and didn’t make it to the meet, but retains the leadership by a reduced margin, now only 15 points, previously 50 points.\u00a0Tara<\/strong>\u00a0won\u00a0Word Power<\/em>\u00a0(and Bunnings voucher) by a significant margin, and the 100 points boosted her up the ladder, overtaking\u00a0Mark<\/strong>,\u00a0Nicole<\/strong>, and\u00a0Genelle<\/strong>. Due to the absence of a secondary game the majority of players scored WHP, the only placegetters being\u00a0Tara<\/strong>,\u00a0Genelle<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Rob<\/strong>.\u00a0Wayne<\/strong>\u00a0had to borrow\u00a0Mark<\/strong>‘s specs to read questions as he’d left his own in his car (a common occurrence), and there was no way he was going to climb up that driveway to retrieve them!<\/p>\n At this meet we used Genelle’s Disney pieces for the first time instead of the supplied game pieces – we now have our own permanent pieces. They were slightly too big for the\u00a0Word Power<\/em>\u00a0squares with some crowding evident, but overall a success. Without going into too much detail, Rob was chastised by resident Disney expert Nicole for a decidedly non-Disney comment about an unfortunate juxtaposition of Woody and the Alien.<\/p>\n Genelle will be hosting the April meet, so please note the earlier start time of 7:30, and sort out your car pooling. I plan to depart Como at about 6:20, and the back seat will be available. We plan to play the backup\u00a0Smart Ass\u00a0<\/em>first so that the main game\u00a0Shire Buyer\u00a0<\/em>can go as long as necessary and conveniently ended whenever required, placings decided by money amassed.<\/span><\/p>\n UPDATE<\/strong>: Tara wins, Genelle & Rob get placings, everybody else WHP!

\nNicole was going to miss the April meet due to husband being away and child minding necessities, but due to it being school holidays, she\u00a0can<\/em>\u00a0make it to the meet if it is hosted at her residence in Engadine. Genelle has kindly agreed to the change, so the venue will now be Nicole’s, same games, start time 8pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
