- Thursday 12 April 20.00 [City of Oxford RC]
- Tuesday 24 April 20.00 [London RC]
Regional umpires are reminded that they are required to attend a minimum of one seminar every three years.
About the TRUC
The Thames Regional Umpires Commission (TRUC) is responsible for all aspects of Umpiring within the Thames Region and reports to the Regional Council.
The Thames Region has more competitors, Regattas and Head Races than any other part of the UK. To ensure every event has sufficient licensed Officials there needs to be at least 110 active people on the Umpires list.
An Umpires Licence is granted for a period of three years. During this time umpires are expected to do a minimum of six events each year.
Events are at liberty to invite the Umpires of their choice and, as an Umpires Licence is valid for the whole country, it is common practice for Umpires to work 'out of Region'. There is, of course, no limit to the number of events an individual can choose to attend.
