Umpires and Measures
At our AGM held in May 2024 it was explained to all in attendance that ALL CLUBS should have Umpires at all home games as well as Measurers, one per side would be preferable. MBA is requesting that clubs forward the following lists
- Current umpires for Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday
- Current Measurers for Sat Wed and Thursday
The purpose is to build a database so that the MBA can have ALL clubs fulfilling their obligations to have sufficient Umpires and Measurers as per our Code of Practice can you also let the MBA who is willing to complete a course.Letting me have the details before the 1st of July would be appreciated
- Ron Mulliner (Secretary MBA)
I have asked for expressions of interests from members regarding becoming Measurers and Umpires with no one indicating a willingness.Perhaps there are some who are interested now. If so, let Pip Malone know before July 1.
