Refs – this coming Thursday 12th January is Stockport Referees’ next monthly meeting – usual venue at County kick-off 7.45 – Trev Massey is doing one of his specials – which will be well worth getting involved with!!

Also there will be much footie talk and banter – no doubt the Reds and Blues of Manchester may get a mention, we don’t want any snott and fur flying though – it is after all only a game of football Mr Treasurer!!! Some of you may have noticed that the Boro are already through to the next round!!

There’ll be a good raffle and the normal chip butties at the end of the night! Get yourselfs along it will be a canny night!!

As you will know Mally Gammond our Vice-Chairman died on 23rd December and a lot of the Refs attended Mally’s funeral last Friday – strange thing to say, but it was probably one of the best funeral’s I’ve ever attended!

Lesley Gammond, Mal’s wife has asked that any donations are sent to the Bobby Moore Unit at Stepping Hill – so the Committee has agreed that at Thursday’s meeting we are going to have a “bucket collection” – and any monies raised will go to the Bobby Moore Unit – Folding Money if you can lads please!!

Many thanks

Bob Hurren
