August issue of English Bridge out now

The August 2019 issue of English Bridge is out now and will be delivered to eligible members in the next few days.

The 2019/2020 Members' Diary  

With this magazine comes the diary for all qualifying members who have not opted out of receiving it. If there are any changes during the year you will be able to find them at www.ebu.co.uk/diary-changes. The government has sprung one surprise since the diary went to press. The Bank Holiday at the start of May has moved from Monday May 4th to Friday May 8th which is the 75th Anniversary of VE Day.

From 2020, if you wish to receive a copy of the diary you will need to opt in even if you currently receive it. 

The best and easiest way to opt-in is by changing the setting on your account on MyEBU. Click on 'account' in the top right corner, select 'My details', and then in the 'account setting' section of the page, under the magazine/diary preference option use the drop down list to choose your preferred setting.

We believe this is the environmentally and financially responsible action to take in order to eliminate waste. If you do still wish to receive the diary, then please opt in and we will be very happy to send one to you.
