It is hoped to hold the AGM at the weekend, and also hold sessions for rookies and experienced officials. We will also be holding mixed sessions that will be of interest to all officials.

We are hoping to bring in an American official to host some of the sessions and also using home-grown talent to host the rookie sessions, called "Back to Basics".

Accommodation will be at the

Cost for accommodation will be £27.50 per person per night. There are double rooms available, which are priced at £37.50 for single occupancy, or £27.50 for two sharing.

To book your accommodation, which is on a B/B basis, you MUST quote reference number '3550' and deal with the hotel direct. The hotel has reserved some rooms for the weekend, but it is on a 'first come, first served', so I would suggest you get in early. The normal B/B price at this hotel is £60.00

For directions to the College check out www.worc.ac.uk and there was a map to the college from the hotel printed in a previous Newsflash.

I would encourage as many members to attend, as there will be a lot to talk about and a lot to do. Could you also let me know if you are attending so I can sort out numbers?
