PBESIDENIS REPORT

Gentlemen,

After 15 years service to your Association during which I have had the pleasure of servi ng as President for the past 5 years, I have now decided to make way for someone else and it will be with both pleasure and regret when I hand over the reins nt our Annual General lleeUng. The pleasure has been in working with the warious over these years. Each Member has given of his best and to all of you I say "Thank you". To the one person who has been such a wonderful Alna&iHtad1t:r for this Association, our Secretar y Lew Nathan, I give my most sincere good wishes. Lew has been a tower of strength to me and it is wlth great regret that I now break from a w.ande%~ partnership.

In conclusi on I thank you all very sin-. cerely for the privilege and experience you have afforded me. May each and every Member have eyery success for the coming season. Thank you.

T. E. Crisp, PBESIDENI' ..

TO MEMBERS OF THE W.A.N.F .L. UMPIRES' ASSOCIATION •

Gen~tlemen,

I submit for your consideration and interest my tenth Annual Report for Season 1963.

Congratulations must be extended to each one of you, the Members, for the excellent season you put in last year, expecially with the adverse weather conditions which persisted for most of 'the season. The exhibitions turned in, even in the worst of conditions, were a tribute to all concerned.

This season we are to have a change in Umpires' Advisor. After lb years in the job, llr. Leo McComish has retired and a former top wmpire, Kr. Jim Campbell, has been appointed. We wish him all the best in his job and, like Leo, he has a wealth of experience to help him along. To Kr. lcComish go ou~ thanks and best wishes for all he h•s done for all Umpires everywhere during his 16 years as Umpires' Advisor. Thanks Leo.

The Umpires' Board will have two changes this season, Mr. McComish and.lr. A. Connell replac­ing lr. J. Campbell and lr. T. Soutar. Last season we were not particularly happy with the Umpires' Board in general so we are hoping for better results

~ thi• season.

Country Footbal l . Last season was a very successful one in the country and all associations expressed their appreciation of the standard of um­piring, so keep up the good work. Remember chaps, they are paying you so it is up to you to do your best at all time&, · even if you are only doing B Grade games. This season Narrogin are using umpires for B Grade 5, Albany Association 4, North Midlands an extra 1, so it looks like abollt 62 .field umpires will be needed. As only about forty of last season's
