A FEW WORDS FROM YOUR CHAIRMAN

I hope everybody had a great Close season; holidays, World Cup Parties, etc and you are ready for the challenges that lie ahead. I am sure many of you have refereed some games already. Have you noticed any changes in player’s attitude Vis a Vis fair play? This is something I believe we should be really getting to grips with. There is no room for cheats, card wavers and anyone who treat officialdom with contempt. These people must be dealt with severely and removed from the game we love. I am sure we will here much more on this subject throughout the season.

Please come and support your society as much as you can. Your committee will be working hard throughout the year to ensure the monthly meetings are run effectively in providing knowledge, learning and entertainment.
Good luck to all those people who are going for promotion. Believe in your self and with a little bit of good fortune I am sure you will succeed.

Something we should all be proud of is that Sutton Referees Society is 30 years old. Yes we were founded in 1976. So well done us and perhaps we will have a drink at our Christmas Social to celebrate this milestone.

Unfortunately I will not be at the 1st meeting on the 13th September as I am away on holiday.

Welcome to the new season and see you all hopefully in October.

Happy Refereeing

Phil
