Information for Season 2024-2025

LSRFUR IS PROUD TO confirm DETAILS OF THE 2024-2025 INCENTIVE SCHEME as announced at the conference at Twickenham.

The aim of this scheme is to encourage our members to officiate more frequently and allow recognition of those who referee a significant number of games each season for the Society. 

From 1 August 2024 until 31 July 2025: the Society will incentivise officials by providing the following:

  • Anybody who does 10+ fixtures, in excess of their 2023/24 total (and a minimum of 15 games) will be entitled to a pair of tickets to a professional game (Premiership, Women's World Cup etc.) which the Mgmt Committee will determine during the season

  • Anybody who fulfils 35+ games will be rewarded with a custom piece of Gilbert kit

  • Anybody who fulfils 50+ games will be rewarded with a special gift (the traditional Tankard will be reviewed with this cohort at the end of the 2024/25 season to see if they wish to continue with it)

  • The Society shall also provide a pair of tickets to an Autumn International / 6 Nations game / Premiership Rugby Final:

    • The two referees who referee the highest number of appointments

    • The two match observers/coaches who watch the highest number of appointments

    • Two pairs, drawn at random, for all officials who officiate 35 or more appointments

    • One pair, drawn at random, for all officials who officiate 20 or more appointments (draw to include those who officiate 35+)

  • Finally, for any member who completes 250 cumulative games for the Society (starting from the 2023/24 season) will be rewarded with a special President's achievement award
