January Members' Meeting Training
A Happy New Year to all our members!
No doubt fired up with great intentions for 2018 and full of resolutions to improve as referees, I am sure you will be pleased to hear that this month's Training Session at the Members' meeting on Jan 29th will be a CMOD course on the Use of Sanctions (Yellow and Red Cards) run by Paul Macmillan.
The course will be held at BELGRAVE RFC and will start immediately after the meeting circa 8:00pm and finish for 9:00pm.
All welcome (including non-LSRUR members) but attendees need to sign up via the RFU course finder website as before. Full instructions are available on this website under Training Documents (scroll down to RFU COURSES)

2018 Simplified Law Book
The latest revision from World Rugby of the Laws of the Game is now available on our Training Documents Page here
Please have a look as while there are no new or changed laws, the new wordings and definitions along with the numbers identifying the laws have all been substantially revised. (you can see the major changes using this crib sheet)
The 2018 Law Book is considerably shorter and easier to understand (but only if you take the time to read it!)
November Members' Meeting
Andrew Torrens received his Society Kit from our President on his completion of 10 games for the Society at the November meeting held at the Vipers. 
Tom Brucciani delivered a very insightful session on 'Managing Chat'.
