SEPTEMBER MEETING
 
This months speakers are Andy Breckell LFA Appointments Officer and Bill Stockdale LFA Assessors Officer. Andy and Bill are going to talk about how you get appointed to county games and the process for getting assessed. Any apologies for the meeting can be sent to David Cryer. There will also be book of condolence available to sign in memory of former Chairman and President John McHale.
 
 
AUGUST MEETING
 
In August we had our standard season opening with Norman Rowlands going over any law amendments. Also Martin Collinge gave an interesting presentation on nutrition.
 
SENIOR APPOINTMENTS
 
We like to acknowledge referees who are given higher calibre appointments. If you are given an appointment by your County Fa, The Fa or semi finals and finals from your local league, let David Cryer know and your appointment will be read out to members at the meeting and will be placed on the website. It will also help us when deciding the end of season awards and helps us check that our referees are getting a fair crack of the whip when it comes to prestiege matches.
