The DSA will cover the cost of an FM license for the club.
We also have a deal in place to cover 3 further years refresher training and help from Alan March Sports.

The overall package will be worth around £4000 and will be at minimal cost to the DSA, and £0 for the club, thanks to very kind support from friends of the DSA.
Great news for those that desperately need it. (Can it be transmitted to some of our referees) We often take sight for granted until ours starts to deteriorate. I can't imagine being blind or partially sighted.
Fantastic support from the Freemasons, often derided on here, their charity work is often exceptional.
The training deal sounds good as well. How much is the FM licence, I'd like to make a contribution towards it.
