Notice is given of an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) of the Suffolk Contract Bridge Association (SCBA), which will be held online using the Zoom application on Sunday 23^rd August at 12.00. A link to all Suffolk Bridge members will be emailed in due course allowing them to join the EGM which is expected to a short meeting of no more than 15 minutes. The purpose of this meeting is to consider and vote on the following Special Resolution proposed by Derek Brinkley (SCBA Vice Chair) and seconded by Jeff Orton (Former SCBA Chair and current Committee Member), as well as being endorsed by the SCBA Committee itself.

"This resolution requests that the EBU Board revise its transgender policy to update the eligibility criteria for women's and mixed events, so that biological males are not allowed to identify into the female category. This revision would be in compliance with the Equality Act 2010, as ruled by the Supreme Court in April 2025 and reflected in the EHRC Statutory Code of Practice."

Since we anticipate that there will be Suffolk Bridge members who would wish to vote on this Resolution but will be unable to attend the online EGM, there will be an opportunity to respond to the email inviting you to the EGM, with a simple Yes/No response as to whether or not you support the Resolution. Please read the background to this Resolution which is provided in a short one-page document and can be accessed by clicking HERE.
