EBED's chair of trustees, Ian Sidgwick, welcomes Richard, adding that “The board of EBED are delighted to appoint Richard, and look forward to working with him to implement our goal of growing the number of people of all ages who learn and access our game”
The four trustees met face to face for the first time recently, appropriately at a mind sports centre, aka the Young Chelsea Bridge Club. We had met several times before but via Zoom.
Being such a new team (half a few months, half only a few weeks) we wished to have a good debate about what the strategy of EBED should be over the next five years and firm up on what our top priorities are and what may also be important but addressed less immediately. We are ambitious but as a small organisation and it would be unwise to try to do everything at once.
EBED's new trustees got together at the Young Chelsea Bridge Club recently. This was an opportunity for the new faces to meet and set priorities and strategy for the organisation.
