I reckon you're in scrope, Jayne. I don't see how you're going to get out of that.

A bit unconventional, but...

Barking

I am too inexperienced to handle this level of play.  Oh well, here goes nothing:

Reading

I see you've gone for the Great Western Gambit. A bit dodgy, if you ask me. I suppose it was allowed by a ruling at the 1884 Oslo World Championship, although I've never been happy with that decision.

Anyway, I have to await my turn.

Are you sure it was 1884?  I thought it was in 1890.

It depends which calendar you follow. I've never accepted the Julian, let alone the Gregorian.

I think I need to have recourse to the Heimlich Manoeuvre here. I gather it's permitted in situations like this.

Yes!!  According to the north-eastern convention, I can now use a two syllable word that starts with the last letter of the previous play:

Stanmore
Jesus, meek and humble of heart, make my heart like unto Thine.

Appealing to the Fairport Convention, I think the only sensible move now is:

Finally opening up the playing field a little

Utilizing the acronym-convention rule in conjunction (in this case, GPS) with the inverse-coastal sister-city allowance, I give you

43.6667° N, 70.2667° W (Portland, ME)

It'll be interesting if someone goes with "Gematria Gamut" and adds those numbers up to arrive at the looping alphabet function for the first letter of the next play. Last time I saw that, 3 players fell off the board IMMEDIATELY.

Interesting idea, Gardener, but that would only work if someone were in loon and there were a full moon.

I'm going to go with...

Wimbledon.

And I get a bonus for topicality!

It's close enough to the end of the month that I can follow up with a morphophonemic transformation:

Wapping

This gives me a fledger, doesn't it?
Jesus, meek and humble of heart, make my heart like unto Thine.

ludimagister

According to the Gutteridge ruling it does.

Nice play, Jayne. You'll be playing at Commonwealth level before long.
