Pool Umpires - Sat 1st Oct
Hopefully all appointed umpires have either been contacted by the home club or have made contact themselves, as clubs have no access to appointments or the contact details of umpires. If you can remember your colleague as well that will help.
After 1st Oct
I have no accurate record of October’s appointments, only a rough draft, and have made some changes since entering them. So, to help out in case GMS is still down, can Pool umpires send me;
- A list of matches that you think you have been appointed to
- Colleagues if you can remember
- Availability for November
If there are any gaps it should then be possible to fill them and we should be able to post appointments on the appointments area on this website.
If there are any problems please email or phone.
