ANNOUNCEMENT: WELCOME TO THE NEW WEBSITE
After several weeks of testing the site we are now up and running. We hope the functionality will provide all in the Manchester and District Rugby Community improved communication and reference points for documentation, law changes and interpretations, newsletters and contact information.

The site is based on one that is used by three Midlands Referee Societies and they have been using it for several years. The biggest immediate advantage is that the Appointments system can be done on-line and immediately viewable by both match officials and clubs in real time. Referees and Club Contacts can use their e-mail addresses and a personal password to access the secure area of the site and view appointments and other users contact information.

Each user of the site is capable of updating and controlling their own personal information and they should download either the Referee or Club Website User Guide which can be found under the Pink Key Downloads Area to the right of the home page.

Over the coming months, Clubs will be encouraged to add other relevant information such as directions to their grounds, club colours and details of other club officers. Referee Society administrators will be able to add grade/levels to each referee and make appointments and re-appointments very simply.

If you have any queries please contact David Guerin but in the meantime explore the site and watch as it develops over the next few months.
