BAFRA continues to actively monitor the discussions taking place between BAFA and BAFL directors over BAFL's withdrawal (or threat of withdrawal) from the National Governing Body. We trust that a resolution will be reached that will allow all clubs to play a full season this year.

Because of the nature of BAFA membership, players and coaches associated with BAFL-member clubs will remain members of BAFA until at least 31st March 2010.

Beyond 31st March, BAFRA is happy to accept fixture notifications from teams and organisations. However this is conditional upon the teams and organisations still being BAFA members beyond that date. To be completly clear, this means that any team competing in a non-BAFA-affiliated competition after 31st March 2010 will need to seek officiating crews from the appropriate officiating body for that competition.

As stated before, if any BAFRA member has a question about this, please contact one of the directors. If anyone outside BAFRA has any questions, please contact the President. Be assured that all questions will be answered as openly as possible.
