Just signed up to this forum having stumbled across it accidently.
I am a level 7 referee who is coming to the end of my first season back in the game. I originally took up the whistle at the start of the 1998/99 season at the tender age of 15.
After 3 seasons I toddled off to university and never really kept going with it all. I continued to register up until 2005/06 as an inactive level 7 but allowed my registration to lapse. About this time last year I had this weird urge to get involved again and so I contacted my County FA and with a bit of form filling and exam passing I was back for 2010/11.
Not exactly enjoyed a distinguished career to date (mainly local Sunday and Junior league stuff) but considering a promotion application in 2012 if I am doing ok and still enjoying it during the rest of 2011.
I have officiated at two Norway Cups (2000 and 2002) and may even get back there next year if time (and the wife) allows me to!
Anyways, looking forward to "meeting" a few new folks through this forum and getting involved in some "Ref Chat."
