...will be held on the weekend of Saturday and Sunday, 28th and 29th March 2009 at the St John Ambulance Headquarters - at Erne, 35 Knockbracken Healthcare Park (formerly known as Purdysburn Hospital), Saintfield Road, Belfast.
The course will be the ECB ACO Level 1 course which is the first step on the ladder for anyone wishing to become an umpire, especially anyone with future ambitions to umpire in European tournaments. At the end of the course there will be an opportunity for delegates to sit the Level 1 examination which is an aural/visual multiple choice paper similar to the old GL6 examination.
The course will commence at 09:30 each day and end around 17:30.
The cost of the course is £25 which includes all course materials, refreshments and lunch on both days. I regret to say that there is no bar available! The course fee also includes free membership of the ECB ACO for the first year.
It is important that I know well beforehand who will be attending the course in order that I can obtain sufficient course packs from the ECC office at Lord’s.
To book onto the course, please email me at keithsmith7mr@aol.com.
Existing umpires who wish to refresh / update your knowledge of the Laws of Cricket prior to the new season are also very welcome.
