Umpires Waterproof Jacket Offer
A dark blue waterproof with removable fleece embroidered with the ARA umpires' logo is now available via NewWave. The cost is £100 - this is a special price exclusively to ARA Umpires. Matching waterproof trousers are also available at £45.
In recognition of the many hours of voluntary support our Umpires give to Heads and Regattas throughout the years in our region the TRRC has agreed to refund £50 of the cost of these jackets on the following basis.
To claim you must:
Be a qualified ARA umpire registered with the Thames Region.
Support a minimum of 15 Thames Region ARA events (Heads or Regattas) over a rolling 3 year cycle commencing 01 Jan 2007.
Log your 15 events on the Umpire Log form either electronically [.xls] or by snail mail/hand [.pdf] (to qualify you must work unpaid for at least 4 hours as an umpire, marshal, launch driver or similar official position at each event).
Submit your completed log together with copy of your NewWave Jacket receipt (within 3 years of purchase) to TRRC Upriver or Downriver Rep as appropriate.
Limited to one claim per umpire.
