Geelong Umpire members,
 
Last week saw a change in the structure of umpiring in the Geelong region as we signed our affiliation agreement with AFL Barwon.
 
For those unaware of the history of this change, it has resulted from AFL Victoria determining that the best way to ensure the future success and growth of Australian Rules football in the state is to decentralise and have regional commissions around the state administer the game in their local jurisdiction.  The operations overseen by the regional commissions include football, netball and umpiring.
 

MEMBERSHIP
To umpire in any official match Umpires must be registered with both the GFUL and AFL Victoria.
GFUL Membership is renewable each year on application and must be approved by the Board of Management.
GFUL MEMBERSHIP NOMINATION
A Membership Nomination Form must be completed either on line or manually and handed to the General Manager each year for approval by the Board of Management, prior to any umpiring appointment, official or otherwise.  Approved Membership is a pre-requisite for any Work Cover compensation claim for injuries sustained whilst performing official umpiring duties.  When approved by the Board, a GFUL Membership Card will be issued to the member and the appropriate Membership Fee deducted from Match Payments.
By completing and signing a Membership Nomination Form, an umpire agrees to abide by the Rules and Regulations of the Association, Policies and all decisions of the Board.
