REFEREEING (Review)
We always knew that 2014 was going to be a big year, but never did we imagine it to turn out to be this big,
successful, rewarding and enjoyable. This year saw all referees turn it up a notch.
2014 saw the referees learn from mistakes, made new mistakes, stressful moments, tears, anger, laughter,
frustration, new faces, lots of rain (and lots of mud!) and plenty of good times but most importantly we showed
the Touch community the team spirit within the Referee contingent.

2014 A year in review:
Courses
England ran a record number of courses in the first half of 2014 with the vast majority of those courses being
Level 1’s as shown below.

Our course attendance levels have
increased from 2013 as a direct
result of engaging our
membership, better and more
marketing along with our active
and progressive relationship with
the RFU.
