Notes

Annual membership renewals open on 1^st November each year.
Membership renewals will not be confirmed until both the form is received and the Treasurer has confirmed to the Membership Secretary that payment has been received.
To be eligible to vote at an AGM (D ‐ S Grade), your form and payment must be received on or before 31^st December of the previous year.
If you are joining the EPRA for the first time after having gained a refereeing qualification from another organisation, we will be in touch soon after you submit this form to verify your certificate.
All referees must first have at least one 'full' year at each grade before becoming eligible for an upgrade.
If you are already a member (which includes referees who have passed the exam this year), then you are renewing your membership for next year. If you are already a referee from a different organisation and would like to join the EPRA for the first time, then you are applying for new membership.
In 2025, the B Grade was split into B1 and B2 to distinguish between referees who only referee at a local, interleague or county level (B2) and those who referee at national and/or major events (B1). All B grades at the time have been adjusted to B1 or B2 based on merit by the Association. Grade B1 is higher than B2, so any referees being newly upgraded to B will go to B2 before proving themsleves at national events and requesting upgrade to B1.
Fields with a yellow background and red border are mandatory.

IMPORTANT ‐ if you have become a new International Rules Referee this year, then you are now renewing your membership, not applying for a new membership. This is because your membership this year was complimentary with your exam fee, and now you are applying for full membership for next year.
