The WBU Journal
The 2011 edition of the WBU Journal has reached the website. This is the annual publication with the results of last year's competitions, details of clubs, this year's competitions, rules and regulations, master point lists, the calendar and everything else you need to know to play bridge in Wales. You can access the journal online here.
WBU Newsletters
The Newsletter was revived in December 2009 with Jill Knight editing and Laura Woodruff doing the layout. Read the latest version by clicking on the most-recent-dated link in the table below.
Writing for the Newsletter. We are always interested in Articles that members might like to contribute for the Newsletter. If you do, it is helpful but not essential to follow this advice on formats and contents which Laura has prepared (available also as an MS Word file, so you can grab a hand example) (revised 6/11).
Until 2005, the WBU published a Newsletter which was also distributed free to all members, through the clubs. Here are the editions we have been able to find, in PDF format. To obtain a PDF reader, see the box on the lower left of the screen.
I am particularly indebted to Noelle Bond who lent me her extensive collection of Newsletters, which I have scanned and made accessible through this page. And to Linda Greenland who has filled most of the gaps.
Do you have any other editions that fill the gaps which I can scan and put on the website? Still needed: nos 24, 28, 29, 31.
The WBU Magazine
Four editions of a biannual WBU magazine, three edited by Gwynn Davis and Susan Ingham and one by Julian Pottage, were published early in 2007 and 2008. You can read them online here:
| No. 1, March 2007. |
| No. 2, September 2007 |
| No. 3, March 2008 |
| No. 4, September 2008 |
The EBU's Orange Book defines the conventions players are permitted to use. It is updated each year, with changes becoming effective from August 1st. Click here to visit the EBU's page about the Orange Book, from where you can download the complete book, or just download the latest updates.
The Tangerine Book is a simplified version of the Orange book, which you can find here.
Other Publications
Bridge Rules
Laura Woodruff and David Burn have written a useful guide for all players
on the importance of the rules of the game and some important situations
everyone should understand. Read 'Bridge Rules: A Brief Guide for Players
of All Standards' here.
Appeals Booklets
David Stevenson produces an annual booklet describing and discussing all the appeals that have taken place associated with WBU events. You can find the full set of these booklets on his website here, together with similar booklets for EBU and North American events. These booklets are heartily recommended reading for players as well as appeal committee members and tournament directors!
WBU Administration
There are various administrative documents published by the WBU. Here are some of them:
We try to publish minutes of Council meetings when they have been checked by the President. The minutes are 'draft' until they have been approved by a subsequent Council meeting, of course.
