Guest Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Ladies and gentleman,After the success of the last Basic Referee Course in late October which saw 10 new referees qualify, I've decided to try again at getting people interested in picking up a whistle.The next course will be run on the weekend starting Friday 15th April, spanning over the whole weekend (16/17). On successful completion of the course, you will have qualified as both an Assistant Referee and also a referee (subject to completing an initial assessment). Although details have not been finalised, I am quite sure that the course will again be held at Holmans Football Club in Camborne. I'm also waiting to hear back from the FA regarding the course being subsidised but also for the incentive of getting some (if not all) of the fee back once you have officiated a certain number of games. This will primarily (I think) be determined by the amount of people we are able to get on the course.Since I qualified, I have officiated when I haven't had a game for my club. Ive enjoyed pretty much every minute of it.The purpose of this course is to get more referees through the training to officiate in the Trelawny, Sunday, Women's and youth leagues (obviously if you are in the duchy region you can be assigned there).Refereeing is rewarding despite what people may say and see. I've enjoyed my refereeing career so there's no reason why you couldn't either. There's also a financially gain to it aswell, of course.With the course being in April, hopefully that will give everyone interested a chance to make necessary arrangements (work, childcare, shopping with the Mrs a week earlier etc)If you are interested in refereeing or/and want more details about the course, please give me a shout either on here, via pm or email (davidrbartlam@googlemail.com). Alternatively, you can contact the CCFA Referee Development Officer, Ray Brown (Ray.brown@cornwallfa.com).If you do have any questions, please feel free to fire away. Hopefully those of you that know me, know I'll be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruegel the Elder Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I guess a Referee Course is a bit like an assault course only harder work and with more chance of being assaulted! NO I didn't mean it young candidates, players and spectators alike will love and respect you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I've just thoroughly enjoyed and chuckled at reading all your replies. You are my hero Bruegel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruegel the Elder Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Thank you young sir, though I must say that your contribution to football and indeed this forum is far greater than mine. However I do appreciate your comment and your "like" since that young pretender Peggy Seventy-skate had overtaken me and older in the Popular contributor stakes! Eel 'ave to go!
