MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL


The membership renewal notices have now all been sent out by e-mail. If you have not received yours, please contact me. All of the renewal details are on the form but, if you have any queries, please get in touch. Membership renewals should be made as soon as possible with those being made before 1st November being at a lower rate. Members will be pleased to note that yet again this year there is no rise in membership fees. However, if you anticipate any difficulty in paying, you should contact Charles Young, Director of Finance at finance@bafra.org and arrange a payment plan with him. This will, of course, be in strict confidence. Accompanying the renewal notice, the Directors are again conducting a survey of the membership. It is requested that you return your survey with your renewal.


I have to date (midday on 7th October) received 44 renewals/new memberships for 2016 as follows:


Stuart Alger; Mark Allen; Graham Baker; Robert Banks; Andrew Binns; Matthew Brown; Darren Carr; Mike Cavanagh; Phil Clarke; Graham Coleman; Les Connor; Ian Davies; Mark Edwards; Stephen Egan; Barry Gent; Martin Gibson; Ray Grace; John Griffin; Ben Griffiths; Jon Ikins; Anton Jarbol; Damian Jurzyk; Bill LeMonnier; Tzvi Lindeman; Richard McEwen; Lee Mills; Darryl Morton; Tim Ockendon; Peter Parsons; Richard Prattley; Stephen Quick; Mike Roberts; Conrad Russell; Clive Sandle; Paul Sutton; Lee Taylor; Pete Thom; Malcolm Turnbull; Harald von Sydow; Sean Welsh; Richard Whitby; Mark Wilson; Brian Yates; Charles Young.


If you have sent in your membership renewal and think I should have received it by the date above, and it does not appear above, please contact me. Next week I shall also have processed the automatic renewals (recently joined members and honorary affiliates) and they will also appear on the list.


Finally, in the unlikely event that you are not planning to renew your membership, it would be helpful if you would let me know (if possible with your reason(s) for not renewing).

BUCS SEASON STARTS ON SATURDAY 31ST OCTOBER 2015


Due to the final NFL International Series Game being played on 1st November almost all games (eighteen) in Week 1 of the College Season will be played on Saturday 31st October. As a number of officials will be unavailable due to their participation in the Wembley game it is really important that as many active officials as possible make themselves available for a game on the Saturday. This will enable us to cover the vast majority of these games.


We want to assign officials to these games next week so please update Arbiter now so that we have an accurate record of who is available. If you are not available and see that you have a game pending and have not amended Arbiter then you must inform us straight away. However we hope all officials will amend Arbiter to accurately reflect their availability to avoid this situation.


As in previous years, if any official is coming to London for the NFL Game (Kansas/Detroit) and wants a game on the Saturday, away from their usual area, let BAFRA Operations know immediately.


Thanks for your co-operation with this.
