ANOTHER RECORD BREAKING YEAR
Membership reaches 208 and climbing

The Association is happy to announce that membership records have been broken again. No sooner had he blown the final whistle of an enthralling encounter between Totternhoe and Berkhamsted last Saturday than Treasurer/Membership Secretary Bill Hamilton signed up his two young assistants, Sam Brown and Luke Dadley from Bedford. This took the membership total to 208, thus breaking last year’s all-time record.

Bill is naturally delighted at the incredible response of so many referees who include a number who are now officiating at Contributory and Football League level but have never forgotten their roots and have many happy memories of officiating in the Spartan South Midlands League.

Yet despite such encouraging news, there are still over 70 officials who for one reason or another (surely, it can’t be penury with a fee of just £6 a year!) have not yet put their name on the dotted line. Come on, we all love you so if your name is missing from the list on the Members page, don’t delay, sign up today.

Look forward to seeing you all on Thursday (28^th January) at Crawley Green Sports and Social Club in Luton when we are honoured to have former FIFA and Premier League referee, Steve Dunn as our special guest. If he can drive all the way from Bristol to be with us then hopefully you can enjoy a shorter hop for what promises to be a memorable evening.
