| CLUB TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR TRAINING COURSE 2023 |
Last year the County ran two, very successful, Club TD training courses for any Berks & Bucks member who wanted to become a qualified Club TD. We are proposing to run another course this year, again open to any member of any B&B club.
The EBU, EBED course is four full days spread over about 10-12 weeks at a cost of £250 per person. Last year the County subsidised the cost with £150 leaving the candidate ( or their club ) to only pay £100. We will repeat this offer this year.
It is hoped that the course will take place on Mondays at the South Bucks Bridge Centre (SBBC) with exact dates yet to be finalised.
Anyone interested in taking the course should e-mail Mick Green at
