Inexpensive Youth Hostel in NYC

I've just heard of an inexpensive lodging option for those interested
in staying at a hostel during the New York City Tournament 9/1-3.

This hostel, Hosteling International New York, is at Amsterdam Ave.
and 103rd St.  Below is a link to the website. There seem to be a lot
of options for price, starting at $29/night for a bed in a shared dorm
room.  In the video tour, the place looks clean and inviting.  Good
location!

24 Hour Scrabble World Record Attempt


As some of you may know already myself (Craig Beevers) and Ray Tate are playing 24 hours of Scrabble to try and
break the previous Guinness World Record (total points scored) set by Chris Hawkins and Austin Shin back
in 2002.

The attempt will take place in Paisley and starts on Saturday 14th April, 10am BST (GMT+1). It is organised
by the Paisley Rotary Club and we're raising money towards the Polio Plus charity. It will also be streamed
live online.

We have a Facebook Page where you can make any comments before, after or during the event and find any of the
relevant links when they come into effect, such as to the live stream or the Facebook Just Giving link.
