Social Events
Social events play a huge role in the Ayrshire Referees Association. They bring together referees of all levels and allow them to socialise away from the football field over the course of the season.
The Ayrshire Referees Association has a Social Committee made up of the Social Committee chair and a maximum of 5 others. These members are elected annually. As well as being in charge of Social Business, the Social Chair also has a place on the Association's Council.
This year the Social Chair is Ricky Crowe, and he is ably assisted by Ross McClymont, David Forbes, Ross Haswell and Margaret Smith.
Forthcoming Events...
Saturday 31st March 2012 at the Gailes Hotel in Irvine is the place to be for the Annual Dinner and Dance. If you want to come along, please see one of the Social Committee who will add your name to the list. It's a great way to socialise in a relatively informal setting with your peers. Prices have been held at £20 per head and £60 per room B&B. Pictures from 2011 and from 2010 can be viewed to help you make up your mind!

Golf Day - Hacket Ba' Winner
Following the completion of the Golf Day, Calum Haswell became the latest winner of the now infamous Hacket Ba' trophy - given to those with the worst score on the day. How Calum manged to wrestle this coveted trophy from the grips of John Mckendrick remains a mystery, but be assured the good Dr will be back with a vengence next year...
