1. MEMBERSHIP Any person may become a member of the Society after being proposed by an existing member and being approved by the Committee of the Society. New members are always welcome, and any person interested in joining or knowing of someone who might be , should contact any existing member of the Society.
The Committee may nominate for election to Life Membership by the Annual General Meeting, any member considered to have rendered exceptional service or brought distinction to the Society.
2. GRADING Referees joining the Society are first placed on the supplementary list, and transferred to the Official List when they have been suitably graded. The Grading Committee meets twice per season, and members may be graded or regraded at other times in special circumstances. Through its official Referee Advisors, the Society attempts to watch all referees at least twice per season. In addition the Grading Committee will monitor the Match Report Cards. Match Report Cards are available at the Monthly Meetings. A Match Report Card should be given to each team captain before every game, for completion and mailing (Freepost) after the game. Completed cards will be available for collection at the Monthly Meetings.
3. APPOINTMENTS AND AVAILABILITY Members will be notified of their monthly appointments in the preceding month. Members should advise the appropriate Hon. Appointments Secretary of their non-availability as early as possible and NOT wait until they have received their appointments. This also applies to members placed “On Reserve”. Members must ensure they keep their availability up-to-date on Who’s The Ref - www. whostheref.com
4. MONTHLY MEETINGS The Society attaches major importance to Monthly Meetings and expects all members to attend regularly. Meetings will be held at Sonning Golf Club, Duffield Road, Sonning RG4 6GJ on the Third Tuesday of the month, starting at 8.00pm.
Dates for this season are:
2013 2014 20 August 21 January 17 September 18 February 15 October 18 March 19 November 15 April No Dec. Meeting 20 May AGM
As well as our guest speakers, normal business will be conducted. A buffet is served during the meeting. Please Note: Members attending Monthly Meetings are entitled to claim from home & return mileage @ 20p / Mile.
5. CLUBS AND SCHOOL CONTACTS There are lists of affiliated Club and School Contacts in this Handbook. They should contact referees in good time before each match to confirm the appointment and supply any relevant details. The Society’s relationships with clubs and schools are normally excellent, but any problems should be referred without delay to the Hon. Secretary of the Society.
6. KIT AND INSIGNIA Referees are to wear the shirt, shorts and socks as provided by the Society. Referees who have completed their ELRA3 are entitled to wear the Society shirt with the Society emblem embroidered thereon. All available items of kit will be issued to new Referees once they have completed 10 Society appointed fixtures. Members who have had kit lost or stolen will be required to replace the missing kit at their own expense.
7. INSURANCE Members are covered by the R.F.U Insurance Scheme against death, disability, and public liability whilst officiating as a referee, touch judge or adviser, providing: i. the game is arranged and played in accordance with the Laws, Rules and Regulations and Directives of the Rugby Football Union, and ii. the member is officiating with the knowledge and approval of the Society. All official Society appointments will be covered. Members otherwise requested to officiate should contact the appropriate Hon Appointments Secretary before accepting, to ensure the insurance is in place. This also covers youth games, however, you should also have cover from the home club. Members are also covered against death and disability whilst travelling directly to and from appointments. For further details of the R.F.U. Scheme contact the Hon Treasurer.
8. TRAVELLING EXPENSES For travelling to appointments, Members are entitled to claim from the Society all reasonable public transport fares incurred. Where a private car is used, a rate of 40 pence per mile (Appointments) or 20 pence per mile ( Society Meetings) may be claimed from their Home or the County Boundary and return. In exceptional cases, the reasonable cost of overnight accommodation (maximum £60.00) may also be claimed.
Members considering making an overnight stay should discuss their intentions with the Hon Appointments or Exchange Secretary. Claims should be submitted within one month to the Hon. Treasurer, using the official Claim Forms (obtainable at the Monthly Meetings or the Web site), and include receipts for all fares and accommodation. Referees that reside outside of Berkshire are reminded that expenses are paid ONLY from the County boundary. This does not apply to appointed Exchange fixtures
9. INTERNATIONAL TICKETS Because of the decrease in the quantity of tickets the Society is now receiving from the RFU, it has been decided not to send out application forms for these games. Any active member who requires tickets should contact:- ROGER NAISH 44 Wilmington Close, Woodley, Berkshire RG5 4LR H: 0118 376 9797 M: 0780 3002786 E: [email protected] Members who are successful in obtaining tickets must, on receipt of such confirmation, send a cheque made payable to the Society for the full amount to Roger Naish. Tickets WILL NOT be issued until such monies have been received.
10. DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURES a) PROCEDURE TO BE ADOPTED AFTER A PLAYER IS ORDERED OFF THE PLAYING ENCLOSURE
Referees should refer to the relevant pages in the Law Book. A Sending Off form is available by going to www.bsrfur.co.uk and using the link to the RFU web site.
A recent change in IRB Regulations means that Players sent off are suspended with immediate effect and Disciplinary Tribunals must be convened without undue delay. It is for this reason that Reports MUST be submitted within 48 hours of the completion of the game and forwarded to the Discipline Officer b) REPORTING ABUSE
Referees who are subjected to abuse in any form whilst fulfilling an appointment MUST complete the RFU Abuse Report Form. NO EXCEPTIONS. These can be obtained by logging onto www.bsrfur.co.uk and using the RFU link. On completion, send to Mike Jacques via email or by 1st Class post.
ALL REFEREES HAVE BEEN ISSUED WITH THE SOCIETY’S DISCIPLINE & ABUSE POLICY DOCUMENT. FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THIS POLICY MAY RENDER THE MEMBER LIABLE TO SOCIETY DISCIPLINARY ACTION.
If you have any doubts or concerns on the above, please contact Mike Jacques or Roger Naish.
11. SPECIAL COMPETITION RULES Referees appointed to League, Berkshire Cup or other competition matches, should familiarise themselves with the relevant rules of the competition, e.g.- Time of kick-off Late turn-out by one team Uncontested scrums Drawn games Extra time To whom to refer a dispute The rules of competitions normally covered by the Society can be found on our website at www.bsrfur.co.uk For competitions outside the county, you are advised to contact the Home Club prior to kick-off for their competition rules. 12. AFFILIATION Any Rugby Football Club or School affiliated to The Berkshire County Rugby Football Union is automatically affiliated to the Society, and may have Society referees appointed to its home games by observing the relevant procedure and conditions set out In the Society’s Handbook. 13. APPOINTMENTS Club and School Referee Contacts should pay special attention to this Section. Any affiliated club or school may have Society referees appointed to home matches provided it complies with the following conditions:- a. Affiliated clubs & schools requiring the Society to appoint referees to its home matches should send a home fixture list to the Hon. Appointments Secretary as early as possible. The fixture list should show the date and the identity of the opponents for each home match. b. Otherwise the club/school should give the appropriate Hon.

Clubs/schools should not attempt to obtain the services of Society Members except through the Hon Appointments Secretary. Members of the Society should not accept appointments without the approval of the Hon. Appointments Secretary. d. If any match is cancelled it is the duty of the club/school to inform the appointed referee and/or assistant referees directly and to inform the Re-Appointments Secretary. Unless the Re- Appointments Secretary is informed of a cancellation, the appointment will automatically be charged to the club/school. e. The fee for each referee or assistant referee provided by the Society will be:- Clubs: £25 Schools: £25 These fees also apply to Exchange Referees from other Societies. Referees and Assistant Referees attempting to claim expenses from clubs/schools should be referred to the appropriate officer of their own Society. f.
