It's been a long time since any of our referees have been able to venture out of the county. We have also had no rugby to offer incoming referees. Finally, we have been able to complete our first official exchange of the season. Eastern Counties were this months pairing. Geoff and his merry band of assessors provided expert views on the refereeing of the Norwich and Suffolk referees whilst Ross Murray and Paul Tilley ventured off to Norwich and Stowmarket respectively. We have another exchange going on this weekend with Gloucester and District referee's society. Good luck to those referees on their travels. 

For those not on development exchanges, Exchange Secretary Rob Knapp is organising social exchanges and already has some dates in the diary. If you are interested in being considered please do get in touch via This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or 07739540132. 

Cliff has been doing a sterling job this year after taking over from Noel Manchester with a number of referees already on the cusp of reaching their 10 game mark this early in the season. Thank you to Noel for supporting Cliff in his endeavours to keep the society topped up with new referees. 

Now for your part SHARE SHARE SHARE! 

There are 2 referee's Courses upcoming in county and we are hoping to have society representation at both. If you know anyone who is interested in refereeing please share Cliff's Details so we can keep in touch. This email address is being protected from spambots.

Leicester Tigers' Ladies kindly invited the society to cover their debut at the Welford Road stadium. The exhibition match saw the club play in both home and away tigers' kit in front of a few hundred fans, marking the occasion. Bomber took the opportunity to match observe Mark on the day.

We hope this to be a great partnership and continue to support women's rugby, with referees and teams of three where possible. On a positive note, the sun was shining and a great day out was had by all.
