Message from Mark Elliott, Referees Society:

It is with great sadness that I have to report the death of Dennis Belton, who passed away last week, aged 86 years.

Dennis joined the referees society in August 1965 and is, therefore, one of our longest serving members.

In that time he has been referee, touch judge, referee coach/mentor and has held the posts of Chairman, President and countless other Committee roles.

I would be most grateful if you could let everyone involved with the LRU know, in particular, the older members who will, no doubt, remember Dennis from over the years.

The funeral for Dennis will take place at Loughborough Crematorium on Tuesday 26th March at 2:45pm.

Many thanks

Regards

Mark
