TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

An old photo including current Committee members: Adam Kretschmer, Antonios Syrigos, Francoise Finlayson and Tony Miller

Adam Kretschmer, a pillar of Aussie Scrabble, has posted this piece of info on a different forum. I am reproducing it here for the information of readers of this modest blog.

I have known all members of SA committees over the last six years, since I have played most of my tournaments there (73 tournaments so far). I can vouch for the dedication and selfless commitment of all those members, with no reservation and nil exclusions.

What is the secret of such success story? Would it be because the average age of the current 10 members is about 40 years? It is interesting to note that the youngest among them is the president. It is sad that stagnant deadwood is causing damage elsewhere.
