If you wish to enter one of the Year End Congresses, you can do so online over the Christmas period via www.ebu.co.uk/members. Entries for the Blackpool Year End Congress should ideally be made in advance, but if this is not possible, and you have to enter on the day, then please make your payment to the office staff in Aylesbury at the earliest opportunity (no money will be collected at the venue).
Held between Christmas and New Year over three days, this congress has earned the reputation of being relaxed and friendly. It’s ideal for players entering a national congress for the first time.
Really Easy Afternoon.
A relaxed duplicate pairs event for those with less experience. This will take place at clubs around the country on Tuesday 27th December. The event at each location will be open to all - EBU members and non-members alike.
For more information see the web page for the Year End Congress in London.
