Southern Area Referees Newsletter: June 09

Welcome to the first of the new Southern Area Referees Newsletters. The aim of the newsletters will be:

 

  • To keep all junior and senior referees informed of any changes to the Contest Rules or key changes to competitions

 

  • To provide an opportunity for referees to share views about how referees business can be improved / developed /promoted in clubs and the Area

 

  • To provide opportunities for general Southern Area and BJA business to be shared with referees

 

This first edition needs to be circulated as soon as possible so there is only one item ……. more later in second newsletter that hopefully will be emailed before the weekend.

 

And the only item is really great news
