Useful Resources
Support
Officials can receive support from several sources including the following:
Tri-Regional Groups
Tri-Regional Groups form a link between Officials within the multiple counties and the respective tri-regions (Northern Group, Midlands and South West Group and the Southern Group). They have an important role in coordinating and supporting officials at or working towards Levels 3 and 4 across all disciplines in England. For any Officials aspiring to become a level 3 or 4 official, please contact:
- Northern – tronorth@gmail.com
- Midlands and Southwest – derekredfern@talktalk.net
- Southern – sroffupsec@gmail.com
County Officials' Secretary
Most areas have a local official who can help with any enquiries – the County Officials’ Secretary (COfSec).
