WORLD YOUTH SCRABBLE CHAMPIONSHIP 2011 - preliminary announcement

Unfortunately, our plans to run WYSC2011 in Qatar have proved impossible, because Mrs Judith Britten (the
chief person organising this in Qatar) has moved to Oman - good news for Oman, but it means we have had to
relocate WYSC to Johor Bahru, Malaysia.
This is not all bad news, as many young people enjoy playing the Causeway Challenge and other tournaments
(eg Princess Cup) happening beforehand.

Apologies to the skilled Kanthimathi who after all is a winner in 7 different
