EBU: Is there Trouble at the Top?
Is there a crisis at the heart of the EBU?
If you were puzzled by Adrian Darnell,
the EBU Chairman calmly informing us that
the entire board of trustees of EBED have resigned
you are not alone.
What’s going on?
Here are a few links to the rumblings of
discontent from the membership…
Read the alternative account in the April 2024 edition of the
Bridge Clubs Network newsletter explaining why
“The EBU Board is in Trouble”.
Peruse the Alternative Manifesto for the EBU by club organisers
Nicky Bainbridge and David Parry which proposes
reducing costs by £250,000, addressing the fall in membership,
widening the range of tournaments, and
increasing the involvement of all local groups.
Hear why some members think it’s time for change in
“Reflections of a Sad Kibitzer”
or catch up with some history in
Jean Whitlam’s “Note From Jean”.
