Timing[edit]

We should learn when this org was formally established and also its inaugural function. Same for the British Bridge League dissolution, its last function, and turnover of which functions to Eng, Scot, Wales, and NI orgs.(not all for this page)

One quirk 1999/2000 --perhaps bigger than the Y2K bug in effect-- the 1998/1999-cycle-culminating Bermuda Bowl, along with its companion events, was contested in January 2000. Bermuda Bowl#2000 Southampton, Bermuda--with Note; with citation Truscott 2000-01-08

I think the handover date has been nailed.

Hmm yes, maybe an article entitled British Bridge League (as the original name) with separate sections on BBL and BGB (+ search redirects for BGB/Bridge Great Britain) would be the way to go. The more I think about that, the more I like it. Given concurrence, I'll try to do it.

More research is needed on what else BGB organises. I only included what I knew for sure.

My own opinion is that having separate articles is clearer. Though one organisation is the successor of the other, they are not the same, the BBL being a representative body for British bridge, the BGB having only an organising role. JH (talk page) 08:57, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Jhall1: - after further thought, I'd reached the same conclusion as you: separate articles are needed. It's like parent and child. Narky Blert (talk) 17:09, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Categories[edit]

I now feel in my water that BGB could be added to (1) Organizations established in 2000 and (2) 2000 establishments in the United Kingdom, with appropriate "Categories" links on this page.

That's all from me on the subject:)
