An affiliated event is one run by an affiliated club, district or County Association, for the financial benefit (if any) of that organisation.

Events not attracting awards per match won (e.g. multiple pairs events) are charged at (approximately) half the price of Swiss events for affiliated bodies.

Events run in aid of charity are given a concessionary rate approximately equivalent to that for affiliated bodies.  Organisers are required to comply with the Charities Act, and to submit full details and accounts to the EBU.

†           A deposit of £25 is required for all non-affiliated licences.  This is non-refundable, but will be set against the final licence fee.
