  • Autumn 2015 Words from the Editor You Are Probably Aware That, in Addition to the HQ Staff at Aylesbury, the EBU Is Run by a Number of Volunteers
    The newsletter of the London Metropolitan Bridge Association Autumn 2015 Words from the Editor You are probably aware that, in addition to the HQ staff at Aylesbury, the EBU is run by a number of volunteers. There is a Board of Directors and three Standing Committees – the Tournament Committee, the Laws & Ethics Committee and the Selection Committee – almost all of whom are currently elected by the shareholders, who in turn represent each of the counties that form the union. The Board does also have some appointees filling specific roles. This arrangement is long-established but somewhat unwieldy and the Board has recently come up with proposals to reform the Standing Committees, changing them all to sub-committees of the board (there are other existing sub-committees such as the Editorial Board for English Bridge) and reducing the number of people on each. The Board would then make appointments to the various committees, encouraging suitable people to put themselves forward for this. These proposals were aired at the Shareholders’ Meeting in May. The general feeling was that the Tournament Committee, was more or less redundant, as the Aylesbury staff do all the day-to-day running of tournaments very efficiently. There is an ongoing need to review the overall strategy for tournaments, but this could readily be done by a small sub-committee or working group. With regard to the Laws and Ethics Committee, there was a further proposal to split it into two. The new L&E sub-committee would be a regulatory body only, dealing with licensed systems, alerting rules etc, and there would be a separate Disciplinary Panel to act as the judiciary, dealing with matters of discipline.
