What is the EBU?
The English Bridge Union Limited (EBU) is a membership-funded organisation committed to promoting the game of duplicate bridge. It is also a National Bridge Organisation in its own right affiliated to the European Bridge League and the World Bridge Federation.
The EBU is made up of 39 constituent County Associations each with nominees holding shares. At its AGM in October, the shareholders elect a Board of ten directors and then, among their number, a Chairman and Vice-Chairman.
The 39 counties own shares in the company English Bridge Union Limited. The number of Shareholders they have is based on the number of EBU members within their respective Counties. The Shareholders currently meet three times a year to assist their elected Board in determining policy in the government of the game and general EBU matters.
Every year at the AGM, the Shareholders also elect an Honorary Treasurer and three committees. The committees, accountable to the EBU Board, are the Tournament Committee, Law and Ethics Committee and International Selection, consist of seven elected members.
In addition, there are sub committees of the Board which include the Editorial board, Education Sub Committee, and Membership Development.
The national headquarters of the English Bridge Union are in Aylesbury where over 20 professional people support and advise the committees and help implement policy.
