Congratulations to Jim Dewhurst Random Teams winners 2023
Congratulations to Jim Dewhurst Random Teams winners 2023

When I saw the results on the website I sent congratulatory texts to the winners.  Karen replied with thanks adding 'to be honest I think Ted and Elaine swung it for us'.  Paul agreed adding 'too right, it was none of our doing' and Elaine said 'it was mostly down to Ted'.  A team in full agreement.  Well done all, but perhaps extra special congratulations to Ted.  Pic shows the winning team (from left to right) Ted, Elaine, Karen and Paul.

Introducing the new Tudor accounting system

You may have heard about the new accounting system being implemented by the club.  We are now in a position to confirm the go-live date for this will be 1st December 2023.  The committee believe the implementation of this new system will be of benefit to both the club and you, our members. 
 

What does this mean for me?
From that date all table money (face to face and online games) will be paid for through this new system.   As Tudor is not currently charging members for face to face bridge this new change will only affect online games, in the short term.

 

Advantages to me
At any time you will be able to review your account (games played and credit) through a secure link on the website under the heading on the left hand side labelled 'Player Account Statements'. You will need to quote your EBU number to access your account. You will also receive an automatically generated statement at the beginning of every month.  At the beginning of every year your membership subscription, if applicable, will automatically be debited by the relevant amount.  

Please note, that Tudor Bridge Club bank statements will be uploaded to the system weekly, so your payments will not show instantly when you review your personal account statement.
 

What changes will I see?
The first thing to happen will be on the morning of 1st December when you will receive your last 'old style' statement from Karen.  Not only will that statement bring you totally up to date with how your account stands, it will also show your special new reference number which you MUST use when paying money into your account, and the new bank details you should make your payment to. You will also receive your first statement from the new system later in the day showing an opening balance.  It's all very straightforward really.  Your reference number will be your EBU number prefaced by the letters TB - with no spaces. For example TB123456. Please note that failure to use this unique personal reference may mean that there could be a delay in your payment being credited to your account.  The new bank details will mean your money will be paid directly into the main Tudor bank account and not via the old account, currently managed by Christine.

 

How do I pay money into my club account?
You can pay in to your account in any of 3 ways:-
1) Bank Transfer -  If you use online banking, you can pay directly to your account using the following details – 

Account name: Tudor Bridge Club, 
Lloyds Bank, 
Sort code: 30-99-50
Account number: 32057760. 
You MUST give your payments your unique reference number (see above)
2) Standing Order – details as above.
You MUST give your payments your unique reference number (see above)
3) When you are in the club ask to top up your account using the SumUp machine.
If you wish to top up your account before 1 st December please continue to use the existing bank account.

 

I have a question
There is a question and answer section on the club website. Click here to see it.  We hope this answers most of your queries. If there is something that is not covered please use the form below to send your questions to the implementation team and someone will get back to you shortly.
