IT'S something of a conundrum and a bit of a sticky situation considering they're supposed to be good with letters.

A Preston Scrabble club is stuck for words. They don't have a name.

Players at a new club at the Bridge Centre in Eldon Street are struggling for a name for the group which meets on Wednesdays, 7-10pm.

They had their first meeting last night but until they are established, they won't be calling themselves anything.

Nan McKay who's coordinating it has been playing Scrabble for 20 years, she said: "We might run a competition among our members if it takes off, but there's no use giving it a name until it gets going."

Anyone interested in joining the club can call Nan on 01772-718355.
