Really interested in this year's RA Development weekend. I know it tends to be a weekend of talks and training with Premier League officials. Has anyone been before, as I was wondering what happened in previous years and what guests there were?

i've been before, 2 or three years ago.

i went for the whole weekened:

saturday -
outdoor practical session - split into appropriate groups of refereeing ability/level, run by select group refs (mason, pawson)
RA quiz - we won!
RA dinner - wayne barnes was the guest speaker (rugby union top ref). i got quite drunk and was pretty hungover for the classroom sessions the next day!

sunday -
the classroom sessions were run by (the ones i went to) taylor, mason, lee betts and a few others i cant recall

was an enjoyable weekend, obviously loads of refs from all over the country all at various levels. there's also a decent old stock / end of line kit sale which was good

I’ll definitely try to go, it sounds really good. Lee Betts is a really good speaker. We’re in the same county FA so he’s done a few sessions with us which have all been really good. Are you planning on going to this one?
