Cricket Shropshire’s Katie Rushton said: “The Board and SACO would also like to build a register of people actively involved in umpiring (SCCL, Women & Girls, Indoor, Juniors etc) across the county, who may not be a panel umpire and/or a member of SACO.

“We will then use the database to communicate information relating to networking events, CPD courses and qualifications and any other appropriate communications for umpires. 

“We are in the process of shaping our County Partnership Agreement which forms the contract we have with the ECB, which focusses on what we in Shropshire will be working towards to align to the ECB nationwide strategy (this falls under the volunteer strategy).

“We are keen to seek input from stakeholders involved across the business including officials, including umpires.” 

A link to the Umpires newsletter which was published prior to Christmas can be found HERE.

Katie added: “We would really appreciate it if anyone interested in umpiring could complete the online form linked below, stating whether or not you would like to be included in the contact database. 

“Please feel free to share with other members who we may not have captured or who would like to find out more about Officiating.”

If anyone has any other questions or queries, they can contact Katie via katie.rushton@cricketshropshire.co.uk
