23:27, 30 June 2013 As of 2013-06-30, NASPA is considering establishing a second type of club in the wake of the dissolution of the [[NSA]], as follows.
One of the key strengths of the SCRABBLE game is that it can be enjoyed at many different levels. Recognizing that not everyone wants to learn a set of tournament [[rules]] or even study the [[TWL|official word list]], we established our list of '''Recreational Clubs''' in July 2013.
We hope that after you have played at a Recreational Club for a while, you'll want to see if you've got what it takes at one of our [[Club roster|competitive clubs]].
== Establishing a Recreational Club ==
If you are a NASPA [[Membership|member]], you can set up a Recreational Club
by emailing us at [mailto:info@scrabbleplayers.org info@scrabbleplayers.org]
with the following information:
# Name of your club, if any (e.g., SCRABBLE Players of Anytown)
# Meeting schedule (e.g., Tuesdays at 6:00 P.M.)
# Meeting location (e.g., Anytown Community Ctr, 123 Main Street)
# Nearest town or city
# State or province (for trademark reasons, you must operate in the United States or Canada)
# Your name and contact information as you want it to appear
# Your NASPA membership ID
and your agreement that you will abide by the [[Code of Conduct]] and the
list of [[Directors#Director Responsibilities|responsibilities of all directors]].
