If you believe that I should have received your renewal by the above time, please get in touch. I will update the list in next week’s Newsflash. A list sent to me from the Director of Finance has names on it of people who have paid but have yet to return their form. If this applies to you please ensure I receive your renewal form as soon as possible.

As in previous years there is also a survey of members being conducted alongside the renewal process. However, for the first time this year, there will be the option of completing the survey on the new website (details in the letter) although, for this year only, there will also be the option of returning it in the traditional way.

As a reminder, membership renewals are due from 1^st October and must be with me by 31^st October at the latest. It is possible to re-join after that date but at a higher cost. If you wish to set up a payment plan for your renewal, you need to contact Charles Young at finance@bafra.info. If you have any other queries about the renewal process, please contact me directly.

Finally, if you do not wish to renew for whatever reason, it would be helpful to know (with your reason(s) which can be kept confidential if you wish).

UNIVERSITY LEAGUE (BUCS) SEASON

The BUCS league commences on 6^th November with 24 games. The following week will have 30 games.( includes 3 on Saturday).

We need everyone to update their availability on Arbiter as soon as possible as we want to assign officials to these games shortly to as many games as possible. Please ensure your availability update covers the rest of October until the end of the year. As we also have some Flag tournaments/Associate games that we will be assigning.

If you go into Arbiter to make yourself unavailable and you notice you have a game pending you must contact me immediately as Blocking Out for that date will not change your original status.

Please try to make every effort to be available to work some games over this busy period. Your assistance is much appreciated. If you have specific questions regarding this please leave me a message on operations@bafra.info
