We need at least 6 candidates to make the course viable, as soon
as we have reached this minimum number a venue as central as
possible will be arranged.
Candidates should apply through their regional umpire whose
names can be found below.
Existing umpires wishing to refresh or re-qualify should apply
direct to the Chair, Umpires Commission but as a courtesy
should inform their regional umpire.
