The League is always working to get as many referees on our panel as we can, to maximise the number of games to which we can appoint independent officials.
Referee/Club Charter
Please read the charter and make sure that you as a referee, do what is expected of you

Appointments/Before the Game
Please ensure that your availability is up to date in the Refsec system.
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.
Match Day
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 you have checked the pitch, goalposts, flags etc.
Collect team-sheets from each side before the match.
Give pre-match briefings to teams if you feel comfortable doing so, & be proactive 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 access to the league website to check on rules and the Contacts directory in case of problems on matchday.
Ensure you are given your Match Fee before the match (and tell us if you have problems)!
After the Game
Please ensure you complete a match report for each game.
Please be objective on any low mark reports clubs might submit. The Referees' Secretary will be happy to discuss them.
Please recommend any players you consider worthy of the Representative Team (1st xi's only).
It's Your League Too
Please liaise with the Referees' Secretaries on any issues regarding the League. Good or bad, we want to hear from you.
If you know of any other referees who may wish to join our panel, spread the word, and if you want some Recruitment Leaflets to pass on, just ask for them.
Please provide the league with an E-Mail address for correspondence.
