Twenty-four nations from
three regions – the Americas, Europe and Middle East-Africa - attended the
twelfth Annual Council Meeting and fifth RLEF Conference in London.
“The Council meeting was certainly the most energetic yet,” said Maurice Watkins, RLEF chairman. “The membership is increasingly involved and contributing in a very practical way to the direction in which the RLEF travels.
Delegates were brought up to date on progress of the current seven year strategy plan, at its half-way point and due to run until 2017, which included:
- Eighteen countries now have domestic championships compared with 12 four years ago
- Eleven nations have government recognition, compared with seven in 2010
- There are eleven Full Members compared with five in 2010; eight Affiliates compared with five and 12 Observers compared with eight
- Prior to 2010, the RLEF had not raised any external funding. This compares with €525.000 accrued from 2010-13
- 16 coach and 14 match official tutors have been trained and qualified by the RLEF and are currently delivering Level 1 courses throughout the Federation
In other news, the results of the 2014 Member Director elections saw incumbents Nebojsa Sretenovic (Serbia) and Graeme Thompson (Scotland) re-elected for a third term.

Tasos Pantazidis from Greece was also a nominate
and he got six votes (a good result considering that it was the first time for
Greece). The membership voted to rename the annual meeting the RLEF
“Congress” and chose to rotate it around Europe, with members invited to bid
for hosting rights on an annual basis.
Nine Full Members, six Affiliate Members and six Observers were present and joined by un-ranked nations Georgia, Palestine and Romania.
