Beginners course for refs

The Western Province Referees' Society is offering a course for beginners referees that is both theoretical and practical.

The course will be held at HTS Bellville on 21 and 22 January 2011, starting at 08.00 each day.

The course is an International rugby Board Course and is entitled the Introduction to Officiating Course. This is the equivalent of the old Level 1 course. This course is a prerequisite for the IRB Level Two course.

New referees are welcome at the course; those who wish to become referees are welcome at the course; those who would like to consider a career in refereeing are welcome at the course.

There is no charge for the course. Referees' clothing is 50% sponsored by the Western Province Referees' Society.

Anybody wishing to take part should contact either Johan Pieterse at johanalwynpieterse@gmail.com or Tracey Dunbar at tdunbar@wprugby.co.za on or before 18 January 2011.
