A NEW INITIATIVE “WHO’S THE UMPIRE” IS TO BE INTRODUCED, AN ON LINE SYSTEM OF APPOINTING UMPIRES, WHICH IS BEING ROLLED OUT NATIONALLY. (NOT EXPECTED TO AFFECT US DIRECTLY AT THE MOMENT)
INTER LEAGUE MATCH IS AGAIN ON THE CARDS AND IS THE SUBJECT OF EARLY NEGOTIATIONS.
THE LEAGUE IS TO INTRODUCE NOMINATED MATCH OBSERVERS WHO REPORT BACK TO THE COMMITTEE. THIS IS ONE OF MANY CHANGES WHICH WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE ON BOARD IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER. BY TAKING ACTION NOW WE CAN INFLUENCE THINGS IN OUR FAVOUR.
WE ARE FULLY AWARE THAT THIS IS ONE MORE LAYER OF BUREAUCRACY!!!!!
CONCERNS WERE EXPRESSED RE: INSURANCE COVER FOR “AD HOC” UMPIRES.
