Weekly free Scrabble club for players of average ability, open to everyone, held at Newby & Scalby Library.
Scrabble Club meets at Newby & Scalby Library this Friday afternoon, 6 November, from 1.30pm to 3.30pm. It's a weekly thing, so if you can't make this one, there are more on the 13th, 20th and 27th of November, and then again on 4 December.
They describe themselves as a friendly group of average-ability players who simply enjoy playing Scrabble, and everyone is welcome. That's the key bit: you don't need to be a tournament pro or have a dictionary memorised to join in. It's more about the game and the company than the score, so if you've been wanting to get back into it but weren't sure where to start, this is a good way in.
It's one of a whole range of free regular community events and clubs the library runs. Alongside Scrabble, there's Reiki, a Quirky Quilters sewing group, Mah Jong, Norman Bear's Storytime, knitting and crochet, an Art Group and a Lego Club for 5-12 year olds. If you're not into words, there's plenty else to pick from.
Every week we pick 🏆 the 5 best 🏆 things to do in Scarborough and send them to your inbox. Just one weekly email, no spam.
