April 6th 2025 in Birmingham had students from all over the UK meeting up to take part in this years National Referee and Officials Course.  For some it was their first time attending , for otherers it was upgrading of their skills and for some of the highest officials it was renewing and keeping up to date with any rule changes.  This renewing of skills ensures that when our officials are at competitions we know they are of the highest standard.

Congratulations must go to . Edward Peaty upgraded to Club Referee and Official and Paul McKelvey and Chris Ward Senior Referee and Official from Kokoro Kai.
