To be eligible for Umpire Bonus Points, Forum Trained Officials must attend one of the courses listed.

Any person who was registered last season will not be placed on the register if they do not attend a 2018 forum.

Each team in the Wiltshire County Cricket League will be charged £10.00 to cover the costs of the forums and two new Laws books. This charge will be collected by the League Treasurer when clubs are invoiced prior to the start of the season.

The Wiltshire Association of Officials (WACO), on behalf of the Wadworth 6X Wiltshire County Cricket League, will be running Training Forums on the dates and at the venues listed below. These forums are for the category of Forum Trained Umpires which was introduced into the League in 2017. Those who attend the forums will have their names listed on the League’s register of Forum Trained Umpires.

NB - Owing to the Law changes any person who attended Umpire Training Forums last year will need to attend one of this year’s forums in order to be eligible for inclusion on the 2018 register. This will enable their Club to gain Bonus Points as per the Constitution and Playing Rules of the League.

Training Forums - Dates and venues (all meetings commence at 7.00pm and will finish at approximately 9.30pm)

Level 1, Stage I & II and Non Playing Umpires
Any umpires falling into the above category are, for the 2018 season, awarded bonus points on the same basis as last season. However, the League Management Committee recommends that any person who falls into the categories above, and has not received training elsewhere with regards to the new Laws, attends one of the forums.

Booking Arrangements
Clubs may send any number of participants to any of the forums but will only receive two Law books per team at the first forum they attend.
Please inform Colin Pitman (email candspitman@btinternet.com or phone 01380 726145) to let him know that you are planning to attend - remember to include the name of your club and the venue.
