Please ensure the Referees' Secretary has your up-to-date availability. We don't want to give you a game if you aren't available, nor leave you without if you are.

As far as we are able, we will appoint suitable referees to all games. We are keen to provide challenging games for experienced referees, and also help develop new referees and referees seeking promotion.

The full list of fixtures and referee appointments are distributed to clubs and referees 10-12 days in advance of fixtures.

Provisional fixtures and appointments are confirmed with promotion candidates 2- 3 weeks in advance (to allow for arrangement of possible assessments).

Clubs should confirm fixture details with referees five days in advance. If a club leave a message for you, please make sure you call them back. If a club hasn't confirmed three days before a match, please report it to the Referees Secretaries.

Turn up at least 30 minutes before kickoff, to give yourself time to prepare.

Ensure the home club provide you with the match ball (and a spare) and have checked the pitch, goalposts, flags etc.

Give pre-match briefings to teams if you feel comfortable doing so, and be pro-active in involving the team captains and/or managers in controlling the game.

Please accept club hospitality when possible (and tell us if it isn't offered!).

Ensure all misconduct is reported to the relevant County Football Association.

Ensure you always have a league handbook with you, in case of problems.

Ensure you are given your Match Fee (and tell us if you have problems)!
