Starting on 15-Sep-08, the policy which this club instituted is that players are asked not to be eating during the playing of a game. Food may be brought into the club, but it should be consumed between games.
As of early January, 2007, this club now has its own web page at: http://home.comcast.net/~exeterscrabble/
This club has been meeting on Monday evenings in Exeter since July, 2003, but it changed its location in mid-July, 2005. The current location is at the Riverwoods at Exeter, 7 RiverWoods Drive, Exeter NH 03833. At this location, the stated club hours are from 6:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Often, club attendees arrange to start earlier, such as at 5:00 p.m., and this might even be earlier, such as on some holidays. Playing time may also extend past 10:30 p.m. when players want to play later.
Each session consists of 4-7 games starting roughly on the hour. Players are welcome to attend for any part of a session. There is currently no fee to attend this club. The club provides score sheets for those who need them.
As of early September, 2007, this club is using a new system to issue weekly reports. This is the same system which has been used for many years in the Lexington Scrabble® Club. You can read about the details of this system here.
For more info, contact club director in absentia Kath Mullholand at e-mail address KathNH@comcast.net or by phone at 603-834-0676 (cell).
Kath is also director of the Henniker Club, which is currently dormant. Kath puts on some NH tournaments. These are described on her web page http://home.comcast.net/~kathnh/tourney.html.
You can view a map showing where the club meets.
At the Exeter, NH Club tourney on 20-Mar-05, a 15-letter word ended up on the board in the H row. It began with CONTENT by Ed Liebfried. It was extended by Keith Hagel to CONTENTMENTS, and then Ed made the final dISCONTENTMENTS. You can see a picture of the final position of this game here.
This club is included on this web site since it is relatively close to the Boston, MA metropolitan area. This is one of the only five active clubs of which I am aware in the state of New Hampshire. The others are the Epping Club, the Henniker Club (currently dormant), and these two clubs which meet in Manchester: Club #331 and Club #510.
