This Friday and Saturday we have a show from Queensberry and Matchroom respectively. Is there anyway to find out who will be refereeing each bout ahead of the weekend?

Yes ring up the BBBofC in Cardiff or the Head of the area holding the bout.
Depending on the standard of the bout, is dependant on whether an A star referee is required.

The Queensbury show on Friday is taking place at York Hall so that is supervised by the southern area.
I will get hold of Mick Collier
The Matchroom show is being held
At Sheffield arena so the head of the central area is either rob smith (not the rob smith in charge of th boardl) or les potts

The board will have down which referees are scheduled to work the show, however other than championship bouts or eliminators, they won't necessarily be appointed to individual bouts until they get there on the night.

did not know how it works like this, is this to stop fighters' camps approaching them in advance?

I don't think it's as thought through as that. Probably more that it's less effort to let the refs discuss it amongst themselves once they get there and know what's all happening (e.g. any late call offs, changes to number of rounds).

Any time I've seen Sparkle Lee referee fights in America I have thought she did a good job. I'd like to see more female refs. A ringcard girl reffing a fight would be better than the likes of Foster, O'Connor, McDonnell etc.
