Latest EBU Shareholders Meeting
Robert Northage and John Wilcox attended the Shareholders Meeting on July 1st. Much of the meeting was technical - voting on changes to the Articles of Association. The substantive changes alter the balance of the EBU Board which will now be 8 elected Directors and 2 appointed; Directors will now serve for three years at a time. Implementation of Pay to Play is proceeding well and most affiliated clubs have coped with the changes. Expenditure is within budgets. To make the EBU more streamlined its schedule of meetings is to be reduced; one of the reductions is that shareholders will now meet twice a year rather then three times.
The Summer 2010 edition of the EBU's Tournament Focus is available here.
The EBU has published the first of an occasional series of online newsletters aimed at TDs and those who get involved with appeal committees. Click this link to read the newsletter.
The EBU has issued a new publication called the Tangerine Book, it is a simplified and more accessible version of the Orange Book and if you wish to peruse it, follow this link which will open a PDF document at the EBU website. There is a slight catch - if you want to read the detailed regulations on Permitted Agreements then you should also read the Appendix to the Tangerine Book (another EBU PDF file).RHN and JSW
