Please use this form to apply to become a member of Grantham Bridge Club.  As Grantham Bridge Club is affiliated to the English Bridge Union (EBU), new Club members who are not already EBU members will be enrolled as a member of the EBU and contact details will be passed on to that organisation.  If you are not a member of the EBU and do not wish to become a member, you can elect to become an 'Anonymous' member of the EBU by ticking the appropriate box on the form below.  This means the EBU will simply have a pseudonym on your record with your EBU number, and you will not be able to enter EBU competitions or receive any EBU member benefits including English Bridge magazine.

Grantham Bridge Club undertakes to collect and use your personal data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest as a bridge club. We use the data for the administration of your membership, the communication of information and the organisation of events. 

This information will be recorded in our membership database, which is stored online in compliance with the GDPR. Our membership data is shared with the English Bridge Union, the governing body of the game of duplicate bridge, and they will pass it on to your “county of allegiance” which is usually the club’s primary county bridge association. 

A limited amount of your information (name, EBU number, county, post town) will be listed in the EBU’s database made available for use by scoring program providers and users. This is to allow the correct identification of players for scoring purposes. 

Information relating to your National Grading Scheme (NGS) grade and master point rank, together with your county of affiliation, will be generally available from the EBU website unless you have chosen for it to be private. You can access this by logging on to My EBU -> Account -> My Details at www.ebu.co.uk/members. 

Your data may be processed by Bridgewebs that act as Data Processors on our behalf. They may only use it for the specific purposes for which they act as our data processors and they are not free to pass this on to other organisations that are not connected with Grantham Bridge Club. 

Your personal data is not passed on by us for use by any other third parties whether or not connected with bridge. Full information about our data use policies, including how you can see what data we hold about you, how you can limit its use and how you can ask for inaccuracies in data to be corrected, may be found in the Club's Privacy Policy, which may be seen here, and the EBU’s equivalent information is at www.ebu.co.uk/gdpr.
