 WHY NOT UMPIRE!
Wednesday 16 April 2008 The Union needs umpires. Would you 'give it a go'?
“ASSOCIATE MEMBER UMPIRE” SCHEME
In October last, a group of senior club captains led by Waringstown's Jonathan Bushe requested a meeting with our Association.
Amongst the topics discussed was the ongoing chronic shortage of umpires.
The captains proposed the following initiative that we agreed to :-
“That NIACUS runs a 1-evening course - The Basics of Umpiring – prior to the start of the season. The captains would source a couple of club players who would attend and commit to stand in at least two matches during the 2008 season. These people would be known as Associate member umpires, and the hope was that some of them would enjoy the experience sufficiently, to decide to take up umpiring the following year”.
This 1-evening course has now been arranged and will take place on Tuesday 22nd. April at Shaw's Bridge at 7.30 pm prompt.
NIACUS is providing the course - the Clubs must supply the Associate umpires.
