UVSC Session Report
Monday, September 2, 2019 (Session #243)
(authored by BJ)

Lots of good stuff this week!  We started a couple of hours early due to
the holiday, and Elouise and Don were able to join us, as was Andrew
again.  Marilyn was back after some travels, Amit stopped in for a game
with his son in tow, and most importantly, first-time club player Jan
joined us for two games!  Jan is keen to learn new words and expects to
come back for more.  Iliana, Ellen and I rounded at the group, making us
a nonuplet (a group of nine, Collins-only).

Elouise put up the best record at 3-1.  Her night began auspiciously
when she and I were drawing for first play in the first game of the
session.  I pulled an A out of the bag, and then she proceeded to beat
it by drawing a blank.  We had a laugh about it and she commented that
she probably wouldn't get any more blanks all day.  I shook the tiles up
vigorously, and then she drew both blanks on her first rack!  That game
was a good one, and she edged me out in a close finish.  My claim to
fame in the game (and for the whole session) was that I found the
9-letter MIDLANDER through ID, keeping up the trend of 9-letter bingos
at our club lately.  Other highlights included Don finding both BESTRIDE
and BESTRID (both bingos, in different games) and Andrew cashing in the
high non-bingo with SEZ for 67.

Other bingos included FLAPPIER, UREDINIA, OUTSOAR, ARENOUS, MORAINAL,
RESILED, CLUEING, DOLERITE, ROULETTE, TONGERS, RABBITS, OUTGAIN,
PINNATE, JAROSITE, MUSICALE, REIMAGED, CENSURED, CASINOS, and MERSION#.
