Refereeing Opportunities at Football Mundial

Jan Suchecki gave a report on the American tournament that he and Amy went to. Very tiring with the amount of matches, but a good experience and going back next year.

Correspondence from Rob Rich and a Lord Mayors Pig Racing evening was read.

Reports were given the RA conference, disappointment regarding the lack of interest shown by younger colleagues for the Saturday session which hosts excellent presentations. Cricket, disappointment again due to people not turning up on the day. Kit, details were given on the status.

Membership, slow this year at 59, you can now sign up online and by card at the meetings.

Insurance claim forms are on the web site.

Social Events, a Pig Racing evening on 1st Nov, £5.00 with pie and peas; Annual dinner 11th April at the Marriott Hotel.

Dave King assisted by Jamie Unwin ran through the penalty indications.

A.o.B. FA appointments to be confirmed with to Barry Casterton or Paul Ballantyne, not Colin Atkinson.

Details were given of the incentives given to encourage new or first time refs to join the RA.

Meeting closed at 9.45
