There were no matters arising.

Hon Secretary`s Report/Correspondence

R A Delegates Report
Peter Fenn said that the County were still looking for mentors to attend academy games at either Motspur Park or Stoke D`Abernon.
The 2 day refereeing courses had been popular and the feeling was that these would be extended.

Retention Officer Report
John Ryan had little to report as his work had been completed. He handed out lists of the mentors allocated to the new trainees.
He had spoken to all those trainees and fine tuned their understanding of the way Society, RA and County work.

Any Other Business
It was suggested and agreed that members would bring along unwanted kit for other members to have. It was felt that this was pertinent for the new members.

After a discussion it was agreed that the Society would reluctantly pull out of the 5 a side tournament. JRK to confirm with Brian Fish.

The three members who represented the Society at the Epsom quiz had enjoyed them selves. An appropriate E Mail had been sent to Ian Lamont.

DATE CHAIRMAN

Open Dates

To All Promotion Candidates

The Festive Season is all but over, and now is the time to concentrate on the remaining weeks of the Promotion Year, which concludes on 28 February 2006.

In order that I can arrange for Assessors to be appointed, it would be appreciated if you could send me details of your games as soon as possible. If you have already been appointed to a game on the weekends of 7/8 and 14/15 January 2006 please let me know in order that I can try and do some forward planning, with ground details and kick off time to be advised when known.

To those of you who had County Cup matches postponed on either 17 or 18 December 2005, please can you send me the details again. Sadly, not all of you told me that your game was not played.

I wish you all every success for 2006.

Feedback on County Cup appointments, please

In order to assist in the review of the new appointments policy for County Cup ties set up this Season in conjunction with the SCFA Leagues Representative Committee, I should be grateful for feedback from referees.


Specifically, I would like to know who hasn't had a County Cup tie this Season (but has in previous years). I can then try to work out why (which may quite easily be because the individual doesn't officiate on a Surrey-affiliated League). However, I wouldn't wish these individuals to be disadvantaged and will need to consider how to 'tweak' the system to allow for these people or to cater for any other reason there may be.


Your co-operation would be appreciated and it would be very useful if the County RA could collate the answers and let me have them by the end of February 2006.


May I take the opportunity of wishing you and your Committee a Very Happy Christmas.


Kind Regards
