NORTH MIDLANDS SOCIETY OF RUGBY FOOTBALL REFEREES
interested in refereeing - take a look at this short RFU video GET INVOLVED IN REFEREEING

IMPORTANT - ENTERING FIXTURES:
PLEASE NOTE that if you enter a fixture 7 days or less before it is due then you MUST TELEPHONE the appropriate Appointments Officer (see contact us) to let them know that it had been added. This is because provisional appointments will already have been made. Failure to telephone may mean that no referee can be appointed. The system keeps a record, visible to the Appointments Officers, of when a game was added. Preference will be given to clubs who enter fixtures in good time and the Society reserve the right to refuse to cover late entries. Please help us to help you by following the rules.
