The Multi-Lane Umpiring Panel (“MLUP”) is seeking to appoint several members. The MLUP provides advice and guidance to maintain the consistency and standard of multi-lane umpiring in England and Wales, as well as assisting in the preparation and training of British umpires for World Rowing umpire licence examinations.
The MLUP reports to the National Umpiring Committee (on matters relating to multi-lane umpiring in England and Wales) and to the British Rowing Board when making recommendations for the nomination of British World Rowing umpires to international competitions.
The positions are unpaid, and meetings and activities are typically conducted with other volunteer members of the MLUP in the evenings and at weekends. The MLUP typically meets virtually four times a year plus some members meet in person to conduct exams.
The functions of the MLUP can be viewed in more detail on the British Rowing website Committees and Panels - British Rowing
