Initially, we were just an online discussion forum, and decided to put together a magazine for our members. It proved very popular amongst the refereeing community and became our main focus. Now, we're bringing together the projects and putting them under one roof to create this mega-site, with a big emphasis on bringing you the latest news and appointments
