hope that we will continue our relationship in the years ahead and that we can reciprocate in any way we can. During the season 2 of our long term members have suffered on going illnesses. I pass on my best wishes for a speedy recovery to Tom Healy and one of our past Presidents Bob Styles and hope to see them at our meetings in the near future. Early in the year we lost one of our members in Kevin Jeffes. Our condolences go to Kevin’s family for their loss. In conclusion, I appreciate the vote of confidence that the members have shown in me to be your President. It would not have been possible without my wife Susan’s initial encouragement to stand for the position and her ongoing patience and support. The Association is your association and as referees it is your duty, as a group and as individuals, to be the best you can be. That means having a very good knowledge of the rules of the game (in all its forms), to be physically fit and at the same time participate in the social events and enjoy the companionship of your fellow members. There are new initiatives under way for 2011 and I look forward to an exciting season. Thanks for reading this long forward and I look forward to seeing all of you at the AGM.
John McCormack PRESIDENT
