August 2022 Members Meeting

It is with great pleasure that we can inform you that our August members’ meeting will take place face-to-face for the first time since pre-Covid.  This has been a long time coming as I’m sure you’ll agree, and we look forward to seeing many of you at the pre-Zoom venue of University of the West of Scotland Paisley Campus, Room D128 on Monday 8th August 2022.

However, please note the new start time of 7pm, different from the normal time of 7.30pm. This is due to UWS requiring to close at 9pm sharp, so we want to have more time to play with in case we run over time.

For those of you who live some distance away from Renfrewshire, we are planning to use Zoom as per Covid practice to offer you the chance to still attend, in a hybrid-style meeting.  We would encourage those who are able to attend in person to still do so. Full details have been sent to members via email.

The meeting will consist of the usual meeting business and coaching slot and we would like to see as many of you there as possible.

January 2022 Members Meeting

A reminder to all members that our first members meeting of the 2022  will take place this Monday 10th January 2022 at 7.30pm. We would urge you all to attend the meeting if you can, as we will be running through coaching slot for all our members.  This will be in conjunction with the usual meeting business also.

Similarly to previous meetings, this meeting will take place on the Zoom platform with full details of how to access the meeting having been emailed to all members


March Members Meeting

Polite reminder that our next Monthly Members Meeting, including the annual Nominations meeting, will be held on Monday 8th March. As per current practice, this will be held on Zoom, starting at the usual time of 7.30pm and will consist of the normal meeting business and coaching corner slot.

Following the members meeting, we will have our Nominations Meeting to elect the Management Committee for the forthcoming season.  If you wish to be considered for a position on the Management Committee, please inform me as soon as possible. To be considered, please state the position that you wish to be nominated for, along with your proposer and seconder.  If you wish to enquire about the nature of any Management Committee positions, again please get in touch.

August Members Meeting

A reminder to all members that our first members’ meeting of the 2020/21 season will take place this Monday 10th August 2020 with a 7.30pm start.  Similarly to the AGM, this meeting will take place on the Zoom platform with full details of how to access the meeting having been emailed to all members.

I would stress the importance of attending this meeting if possible, as the amendments to the Laws of the Game will be covered by our association coaches.  Albeit we cannot referee at the moment, you will be required to know them and be able to apply them when we do eventually return to refereeing, so please attend if you can.

You should all have received a copy of the March members’ minutes in last month prior to the AGM.  For anyone who was not in attendance at the AGM, the new management committee is as follows:

President – Graham Grainger
Vice President – Chris Palmer
Secretary – Andy Taylor
Assistant Secretary – Ryan Kennedy
Treasurer – Michael Bonner
Training Officer – Gary Toland
Digital Officer – Barry Feery
Development Officer – Craig King
Schools & Leagues Officer – Ross Cooper


2020 Annual General Meeting

Renfrewshire Referees Association will hold our Annual General Meeting on Monday the 20th of July 2020. The meeting will be held online via the Zoom Platform (Access & Login Details will be sent on Monday the 6th of July).

Initially we had hoped that this meeting would be held in person, however as time has marched on, this has not proved feasible. In order to keep the Association progressing & order to move forward with other business it is critical that our AGM is held as soon as possible. I would urge all members to attend & that those who require support in accessing Zoom contact Richard Murray at the earliest opportunity.

Ordinary Member – £45.00
Full Time Education Member – £10.00

Full details of how to pay membership fee have already been sent via email. An AGM Pack, along with a list of Nominations will be sent by email on Monday the 6th of July.


Regional Training Day

***URGENT*** Can anyone who is planning to attend the Regional Training Day at Hampden on Sunday 10th October please let the page, Joe McDowall or John Brown know by Sunday at the very latest please. This day is extremely beneficial to all members category 4 and under and you will receive some fantastic coaching and improve your refereeing massively. Our response to this is not as we would expect so we want to increase this over the weekend. Thanks in advance.
