Secondary	Netball Umpiring	CMD
	If you are interested in umpiring netball this season I would like to meet Tuesday at morning tea in the Gym Foyer. There is Monday night netball and Saturday morning netball that you can be involved in. You can also work towards badges and umpiring at higher levels such as LNISS. There are some new rules this year and I am attending a rules update that you can also attend on Sunday 17th March in the afternoon (Players would benefit from this as well). I will explain my interpretation to any teams playing before the beginning of the season. You can let me know on Tuesday if you'd like to attend. (I have been umpiring the new rules over the summer and they generally speed the game up) Mr McDonald
