Club Membership Fees and Referees Expenses – New Approach Launched

The Society’s new approach to charging its clubs membership fees and paying members’ matchday travelling expenses is now operational.

With effect from today, 1st August 2024, the Society takes over from clubs the responsibility for paying referees’ travel expenses. Referees will be reimbursed monthly by payments to their bank accounts. The Society will then invoice clubs, twice a season, for a contribution towards the expenses incurred, together with a charge based on the numbers and levels of home matches that were covered by a Society-appointed referee for all its teams.

John Pemberton, Honorary Treasurer, said “Thanks are due to all those who worked on the project and those who volunteered to test the expenses claim process in WTR. The changes we have made will see benefits for the Society as well as its members and member clubs.”
