UMPIRES NEEDED FOR TRIALS

We ask that players and parents come forward to assist with umpiring at trials as it is always a difficult task to get enough umpires to assist to cover all the courts for the length of the trial period.  You will be well supported, we ask that you please consider putting your hand up to help out. Lynda Robinson would love to hear from you – please email us via our secretary if you can help out.  We really appreciate everyone’s assistance here, don’t just think that someone else can do that – it is you that we need – please consider!!
