In accordance with the Referees' Association of Wales Constitution I here by give notice that the Tenth (2013) Annual General Meeting of the Referees' Association of Wales shall take place on Sunday 12th May 2013 commencing at 10.30am at The Bell Country Inn, Llanyre, Llandrindod Wells LD1 6DY.

Below is the Current Wording and the Proposed Amendments to the RAW Constitution to be voted on.

Individual voting papers will be sent by e-mail to each RAW Life Member and ABS Secretary only within the next ten days showing how many votes you have and when to return the voting paper by.

If you receive this e-mail and are not the CRA or ABS Secretary would you please pass onto the new Secretary, and inform me of the new Secretary and any other changes please. Full name and address, telephone numbers and e-mail address would be gratefully appreciated.

Proposed by Monmouthshire Referees’ Association
(1) RAW Constitution 9. The Council (o) Current Wording
Receive no remuneration or honoraria directly or indirectly for work done or services rendered for or on behalf of the Association unless carried out under separate contract and previously agreed by Council.

(1) RAW Constitution 9. The Council (o) Proposed Wording
Receive no remuneration or honoraria directly or indirectly for work done or services rendered for or on behalf of the Association unless carried out under separate contract and previously agreed by Council.
Except for the Treasurer and Secretary, who will receive an Honorarium of £100.00 each year.

Reason:
We feel in this day and age a small Honorarium should be paid to the Treasurer and Secretary as a small appreciation for all the work that they carryout for the RAW.


Proposed by Monmouthshire Referees’ Association and Bridgend & District Referees’ Society
(2) RAW Constitution 11. Expenses (c) Schedule 1 Subscriptions and Car Mileage Allowances 2 Current Wording
The car mileage allowance under rule 11(c) shall be 25p per mile.

(2) RAW Constitution 11. Expenses (c) Schedule 1 Subscriptions and Car Mileage Allowances 2 Proposed Wording
The car mileage allowance under rule 11(c) shall be 35p per mile.

Reason: Monmouthshire Referees’ Association
The 25p per mile allowance has been in effect since at least the 31.05.2005. We feel that a 10p per mile raise is more than justified considering that the sharp rise in prices for petrol and diesel.
Reason: Bridgend and District Referees’ Society
To reflect the increase in fuel costs and to bring the mileage allowance in line with that for match officials on the Welsh Football League, South Wales Football Association Competitions and the South Wales Amateur and Senior Leagues.

Many Thanks,

Gareth Keenor
RAW Secretary.
