I offer a very warm welcome to the many new umpires joining our Panel this season and hope very much that they enjoy their first season with us in the Surrey Championship. The Panel operates in the 1st XI League from Premier Division down to Division 4. We continue to see a steady flow of younger umpires wishing to join the Panel each season, which is very encouraging. It should be noted that just as the Surrey Championship is a pathway for talented young players to progress towards the professional game, the same is true for umpires. The ECB has established a clear route for the very best umpires in the Championship to progress to Minor Counties or County 2nd XI matches. To find out more about becoming an umpire please visit the Umpires’ section of the Championship website or http://www.surreycricketofficials.org.uk/index.htm. The Championship now offers subsidies to clubs who send their members on the Level 1 Umpires Training Course, pass the exam, and then go on to stand as umpires in at least two Championship
