Re: Upcoming Umpire, Measurer and Marker Courses
The next Umpire, Measurer and Marker course will be held at the Capalaba Bowls Club on Sunday the 10/09/2023. Second date/s if required 13/09/23 and 20/09/2023.
Applicants who are reaccrediting are required to attend on the 10/09/2023 at 9.00 am. The reaccreditation process will take approximately 4-5 hours.
The cost for reaccrediting is $33.00. The cost for accrediting is $25.00 per module or $55.00 for the entire course. There are 3 modules. It is necessary to complete all three modules to become an umpire.
Applicants who are accrediting are also required to attend at 9.00am on Sunday the 10/09/2023. The course will go from 9.00am to approximately 4.00pm. On Wednesday the 13/09 and 20/09 accrediting personnel are required from 6.00pm to 9.00pm.
In both instances applicants are required to apply for the course through Bowls Queensland (BQ). Applicants are also required to acquire a current Law Book (Crystal Mark 4).
Applicants will receive a training manual from BQ. It is imperative that applicants read this manual as questions will come from the manual for both the reaccreditation and accreditation courses.
Applicants are required to wear bowls shoes and bring a hat as there is on the green work. Pen and paper are also required.
Meals are not provided, however available from the Sports Club.
