In 2009 the St Lucia Scrabble Association was founded, registered and licensed with Mattel United Kingdom. It was also endorsed by the Ministry of Education and Culture.
In May/June 2009, the Association hosted the first National Scrabble Tournament (as a Licensed Association). The event was in collaboration with the Ministry of Youth and Sports and the Ministry of Education & Culture.
Vandyke Jude, a lawyer by profession proved he was insuperable by winning the tournament. Beverley Ann Moses, a Director & Business Industrialist was the Best Female Player.
In 2010 Nyo Serieux a Math Lecturer, won the mammoth trophy donated by the Ministry of Youth and Sports. The main sponsor was Domino’s Pizza.
The Association has 63 prolific members nationwide. From these numbers, only 10 qualified to represent St Lucia at the Regional Caribbean Scrabble Tourney in Trinidad & Tobago, April 22-26.
