– general membership to convene on Saturday

Members of the recently appointed Referees Committee of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) met for the first time on Thursday last at the federation’s Secretariat, Dadanawa St. Section ‘K’ Campbellville.
Present at the meeting were President (ag.) of the GFF, Mr. Franklin Wilson, who has been identified to serve as Chairman of the Committee, Mr. Lawrence Griffith, Deputy Chairman, Dr. Maxine Parris-Aaron, Mr. Abdullah Hamid, and Mr. Lindley Langhorne, members of the Committee. Absent was Mr. Carlton Beckles. In attendance at the meeting also were Mr. Roy McArthur, Referees Administrator and Mr. Noel Adonis, General Secretary of the GFF.
The initial meeting was convened primarily to acquaint the members of the committee with the roles and responsibilities of the Referees Committee as identified by FIFA, the governing body for the game of football worldwide, and for the Committee to establish a modus operandi for the management and organization of the referees in Guyana.
To that end the meeting addressed a full range of issues pertinent to Referees and Refereeing, including appointment, promotion, demotion, the ongoing registration and classification of Referees, education and evaluation, among others.
Consequently, the Referees Committee agreed to meet initially on a monthly basis, to coordinate the affairs of the body.
A meeting has also been scheduled with the general membership of the Referees Council on Saturday January 26 at the Ministry of Education’s Sport Complex, Carifesta Avenue, in order to introduce the Referees Committee and to provide opportunity for discussion and interaction.
