Scunthorpe and District Umpires' Association's pre-season meeting was held tonight at Brumby Hall cricket pavilion, with App-Frod CC players busy outside in the nets.
Fixture secretary Mick Walker told members that Epworth CC - rejoining the North Lindsey League - would be playing home games in Epworth and not in Belton, as originally suggested. However, no-one seemed sure of the exact venue in Epworth.
At the end of the winter training course, Brett Smith successfully passed the necessary exam to become a qualified umpire, although it's clear he intends to play when selected during the season.
With only one newcomer and several stalwarts retiring during the winter, the need to recruit and train more umpires for 2011 was highlighted. Barrie Cook suggested the matter needed publicising at the earlier possible opportunity.
Anyone reading this who is interested, or knows someone else who might be, is urged to email general secretary Jo Walker - jo.33@tiscali.co.uk
Copies of the Lincolnshire League's 2010 Handbook were distributed to all umpires present; those for the North Lindsey League will be handed out as soon as they are received by the association.
