Timing

copied from Talk:Bridge Great Britain#Timing, modified for this location -P64

We should learn when the successor org Bridge Great Britain was formally established and also its inaugural function. Same for this org's 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 thought of writing a single article on BBL and BGB, but couldn't think of an easy way to do it.

AEM-F needs an article imo, he founded Bridge Magazine as well as the BBL.

I think independent sources saying "end of 1999" for devolution from BBL and "independent from 1 January" pretty much nail the handover date, unless someone happens to find a still better reference. (I'd put money on the paperwork having been completed before, probably well before, Christmas 1999.)

Almost everything has had a bigger impact than the Y2K bug lol.

One article covering BBL and BGB would also cover EBU, SBU, WBU, and probably some I, NI, ROI --as, in effect, if not in name-- Bridge organisation in the United Kingdom, or in the British Isles, etc. There would be redirects from several proper names to that article; at least some would be "R to section", Redirects to sections. Anyway, it's fine to go ahead and create Scottish Bridge Union, etc. If deletion is proposed, merge will be an obvious counterproposal.

(Now I return to your talk page, NB, regarding redirects in general.)
