Dear all,
Our next meeting is scheduled for Thursday 11th December and we will be hosting Chris Little's Little Christmas Quiz - always a favourite event on our calendar.

The quiz will be somewhat football based with six rounds of questions along with a picture round and an observation round.

There will be prizes on the night, a raffle, and some drinks available - so please bring along some cash. It would be helpful if you also brought a pen and paper. Feel free to bring along some of your refereeing friends, the more the merrier.

Usual location at the Army FA Referee Development Centre, off Queens Road, Aldershot. Please park in car park 6 and walk round.

Please RSVP before 10th December so we can work out numbers.
Best Regards,
David London
Secretary
