To contact EBU staff at an event please call the tournament hotline on 07780 673522. Venue for 2019 Following a site visit in April we are pleased to confirm that the building works are coming to a close in the new, modern Welcome Building (pictured) of the Devonshire Park complex in Eastbourne. It will be used for the Nature Valley International Tennis Tournament in June, after which we are looking forward to holding our Seniors Congress there in July. Some information on the renovations can be seen on the Conference Eastbourne website. Please find below information on the venue, parking, and attractions to fill your weekend away from the table. Please note: The WBF - and consequently the EBL and Bridge Great Britain - have adjusted their criteria for eligibility for Seniors events. The EBU has therefore adjusted its criteria in response to this. Please note, therefore, that to be eligible players must have their 61st birthday or beyond during the calendar year (January-December) of the event - i.e. entrants must be born in 1958 or earlier. See here for further details.
