The Yorkshire Region has many umpires drawn from the clubs across the region.
Umpires officiate at both head races and regattas within our region and beyond using the core principles of safety, fairness and outcome to guide them in their application of the British Rowing Rules of Racing.
Generally, each event will work in consultation with the umpires to try and ensure that there are sufficient available to satisfy the requirements of the event.
Without a ready pool of available umpires, the events cannot run.
If anyone is interested in embarking on the 6 week Umpire Training Course please contact Ron Drake direct (rondrake@blueyonder.co.uk) so that I can discuss with you what the training entails and how you can enrol. There is no cost attached!
Anyone interested is strongly encouraged to participate in what promises to be an interesting entry to the world of being a BR Umpire!
