Mr.Naveen
Fernando,
now domiciled in Australia is an Australian National Scrabble
Champion and one of the top three in the world. Naveen is the son
of a Past
President of Sri Lanka Club Bahrain, Mr.Vimal Fernando. Naveen
started and
learned to play scrabble at the club. In 1992, Naveen went on to
become the
Gulf Scrabble Champion.
Attached is yet another feat of Naveen Fernando at a recent
tournament in
Australia, where he emerged as the winner. We, at Sri Lanka Club,
would like to
take this opportunity to wish him all the best in his future
scrabble
tournaments.
Scrabble is an educational board game which can be played by the
young and
young-at-heart. This will not only improve one's English
vocabulary power, but
also mould one to become a well balanced person.
If you are interested or would like your children to learn
scrabble, you may
contact our Past President Wasantha Kahaduwa on 39172103,
President Wisvanat
Jayasekara on 39660694 or yours truly on 36487263.
Best regards,
Zaharan Haleed
General Secretary
Sri Lanka Club Bahrain
