Thanks - that is good advice - and one that I would advise a referee (I'm not one) but are there actually any regulations or formal advice to this effect (stubborn person syndrome....)
Thanks
Gonker - I know a lot of your London management very well (Nick, Tim, Clive, Bob, etc) and am confident they would agree with my pov, but I cannot speak on their behalf of course.
No sunglasses or peaked baseball caps as referee (safety and credibility issues, so adjust your positioning accordingly to not be facing the sun.
For ARs (who cannot avoid facing a low sun) no problem with peaked cap but not sunglasses - I have seen Panel ARs do just that.
ARs should wear peaked cap (as I have seen Panel ARs.
I am my Society Assessors and Grading Chairman and a Group Assessor, and Phil is an RFU ELRA Trainer, so we are giving you formal advice. However raise it with your London Society regional manager to overcome the stubborn person syndrome.
