v)Umpires
(1)Information session held on 24/7 from 10 am – 4 pm. We had 3 reps in attendance with a couple of other interested parties. The main item we were searching form was to do with accreditation and re-accreditation of umpires - with little time devoted to that topic. We’ll run a tutorial on the topic later September / Early October. The Bowls Vic Umpires Chair has a preference for a tutorial covering 4 sessions. John Roberts and I feel that is overkill – with the majority of umpires calls relating to measuring

(1)No action yet
vii)Junior development
(1)I emailed Pauline to get approval to use her contact details to encourage other juniors. Email to be sent to clubs shortly

(2)Moved Graham Down that all directors be appointed as Bowls Vic Official representatives for relevant purposes. Seconded LorraineBurton. Carried
iv)Region uniforms
(1)Need to ascertain whether the pockets on the former Yarra group shirts can be replaced. The shirt has the phrase “Group 11” on the pocket, with the word “Yarra” on the back
(2)It’s likely that we’ll need regions shirts for special ladies events.
(3)Limosani to approach U design (Peter Livy) – sponsor of the of the previously mentioned shirts about these two issues
