The following letter has been sent to the Kent Committee by the EBU.

Click here for the full document.

At the EBU Annual General Meeting on Thursday 2^nd October, 2008  the EBU introduced the Board's five year strategy plan “Bidding for the Future”.  This document is a road map for the next five years, providing  the foundation and framework on which to base  operational plans and development. 

Since the shareholders approved universal membership via Pay to Play at the Extraordinary General Meeting on 4 June 2008, the Board has worked hard to formulate this plan to fulfil the commitments it made to the membership in its proposal document.

They have already set up the Universal Membership Project Board and the Club Committee.  The Club Committee had its first meeting on 17^th September 2008 and its representatives are in the process of contacting clubs to arrange meetings in their regions.

They will report to the  members in each issue of Club Focus and English Bridge on the development of ours strategy plan, and to our shareholders at each meeting.
