Club umpires, we appreciate you!
We are proud to support and celebrate our club volunteer umpires, after all, they give up their time so we can play our games!
Our umpire coordinator, Liz Holding, with the full support of our committee, has been busy behind the scenes organizing and encouraging our club members to volunteer to umpire. We will help you with training courses, which we will pay for, once you start to volunteer. So step up and contact Liz to find out how you can get involved in this important club supporting inititive.
To encourage our members to volunteer to umpire we have a new incentive scheme:
- Fox Blast Whistle (for your first game) and a free drink at our bar and tea after every home game.
- WHC Umpire Polo Shirt (5 games)
- WHC Umpire Sweatshirt (10 games)
- WHC Umpire Jacket (20 games)
This incentive scheme is supported by our lead sponsors, Cafe Rouge and Las Iguanas.
For those not wishing to receive the incentives you can, if you wish, claim £10.00 per match (& discretionary mileage for away games).
Interested in volunteering to umpire?
We encourage all players and friends of our club to consider and volunteer to umpire. We will support you to get training through England Hockey registered courses. We will pay you for the course cost when you volunteer to umpire. You can look up England Hockey umpire courses here.
A special thank you for 60 years!
