On Monday 5^th February, Bedfordshire FA celebrated those referees who have shown extreme dedication, commitment and performed consistently to the standards expected. With a room packed full of over 70 people including match officials, staff members, council members and guests, it was a very enjoyable evening for all that attended.

The evening was hosted by Mike Desborough (Referee Development Officer) with development support from Dan Meeson (The FA), Russell Endacott and Aaron Fricker.

Thank you to the staff and guests who took time out of their busy schedules to assist in the delivery of the event.
