EBU Strategy Update 19/06/2008

At the English Bridge Union's EGM on 4 June, 2008, the resolution stating:

‘that the Shareholders accept the principle of Universal Membership and approve the Board proposals for replacing the current Annual Subscription and Master Point income by a pay to play fee as outlined in the “Strategy for the future of the EBU and Duplicate Bridge in England” dated April 2008.   If so approved the Board will commission the changes necessary to the Bye-Laws of The English Bridge Union and request a future General Meeting to accept those changes’

Was passed by a vote of 52 in favour, 31 against. There were also 2 abstentions and 1 not present. 

Your Committee discussed this outcome and the implications for SCBC at their meeting on 17th June 2008. We agreed to continue to monitor the situation until the EBU issue further information and involve our members in deciding the way forward for SCBC under the then published arrangements.

If you have any comments please let them be known to any committee member.

Experimental Table Numbering Feedback Form Analysis
Experimental Table Numbering Feedback Form Analysis

Concerns had been expressed to the Committee that players were overhearing comments made at adjacent tables for boards that were about to be played.

The German system of numbering tables was therefore trialled on an experimental basis on Wednesday 27th August and Friday 12th September.

Please click for analysis of feedback forms from the trial.
