We now meet in the Marwick room of the Kirkwall library-each Friday at 10 a.m.
We are very happy to report that we have outgrown the room in our own homes-
and the library have been very helpful.
Here follows a few of the words new to (some of us) that we have encountered in recent games-
dink=neatly dressed
scran=food
favus=skin complaint
trig=neat or spruce
chave=dialect term "I have"
coom=waste material
fand=try
bate=to violently jump from a perch
feeb=contemptable person
spall=splinter or chip
dunt=strike or hit
soke=right to hold a local court
sobole-underground stem
lehua-Hawaiin flower
devon=pressed meat
Because we now have more space-we welcome anyone who wishes to join us-
I should add that not every one attends every week-
