"Spelling is important, but learning to spell can be frustrating perplexing and bewildering. Our aim through The Times Spelling Bee is to help to make spelling fun. I’m very excited to be launching the 2010 championship and wish all the teams taking part the best of luck. I hope your school will take the opportunity to enter a team and fingers crossed that I might see you all at the 2010 championship Grand Final."
