To – ALL SYDNEY SHIRE UMPIRES

RE – IMPORTANT MEETINGS IN SEPTEMBER

All members should be aware of the two very important meetings that will be held during the month of September.

All members who intend on officiating in Shires matches during the season should make every effort to attend both of these meetings as the content of both meetings impacts on the way the forthcoming season is to be conducted.

Details are as follows –

LOCAL RULES NIGHT – Wednesday September 17, 2008 - Sydney Cricket Association Office Auditorium , Driver Avenue , Moore Park – 7.00pm Start

This meeting will be conducted by the training committee of the NSWCU&SA and will review all local playing conditions in Grade and Shires matches for the 2008/09 season. Match appointments and the playing conditions book for the season will also be available at this meeting as well as a number of important handouts. New umpires will also receive their on field umpires shirts for the season. Your attendance at this meeting should be considered compulsory.

SHIRE UMPIRES PRE SEASON MEETING – Wednesday September 24 , 2008 – Meeting Room , Redfern RSL , 157 Redfern Street , Redfern – 7.00pm Start

This is an important meeting to attend as all members will get to meet their peers (including new members for the season). Important discussion will also take place in regards to rule changes etc. The committee will meet with all first year umpires at the conclusion of the meeting to discuss any questions you may have

I look forward to your attendance at both of these meetings.
