Vice Chairman Anthony Moore steps into the breach with a topic of "Correct Team Decisions", in place of Martin Atkinson, who has been away on World Cup duty.
Our scheduled guest for April, Premier League and FIFA referee Martin Atkinson, has received an appointment as 4th Official for the Turkey v Spain World Cup qualifier on Wednesday 1 April, which means that he will no longer be able to join us for our meeting the following day. We will try and re-arrange Martin's visit for next season.

Drawing on his vast experience and the current best practices, Dave will help members develop their skills of game management to ensure that we are at our best when dealing with all the pressures and situations that we are faced with during a match.
