125th Aniversary Dinner (the worlds oldest Rugby Referees Society - apparently London will argue otherwise, but we have the minutes to prove it :wink: )

Some time ago I mentioned that SRRS would be having a Dinner to celebrate their 125th Anniversary, well the date and venue has finally been set. Bridgwater RFC on Thursday 18th September (the exact date of the first meeting, but not the venue, that's now offices!)

It was suggested that maybe we could put together a RR.com table, so is there enough interest?

look forward to hearing from you.

Phil you come across as the kind of man who makes things happen, you are going to be an asset to any organisation, it won't be long at all till you're back in harness... probably even this week!

It will be a "partners event" too for those that want to bring "the other half".

I need to let people know about numbers and believe it or not what you'd like to eat? Once I get final numbers sorted I can email you a menu for you to choose from.

anymore takers????

Good Luck PhilE on the interviews!

I like it! Not least because it gives the lie to the parenthetical title of this thread. Step up LLP and claim your county's status.
