If you enjoy watching cricket, have you thought that you could more actively support the game by becoming an umpire or scorer and, at the same time, have a much better view of the match? Equally, if you feel that your best playing days are over but you still want to stay involved in cricket, have you thought of becoming an official in the game? If so and you live within or in the vicinity of Gloucestershire, why not join the Gloucestershire Association of Cricket Umpires and Scorers (GACU&S).
GACU&S trains people to become qualified umpires and scorers and appoints them to matches if they so wish. Association members officiate in Womens International cricket and are on the County 2nd XI panel. Appointments are made to county and district youth matches at various age levels, ladies cricket, public schools and to the higher level of club league and cup competitions within the county. The aspirations of members of the Association vary from officiating at the highest level that their skill, ability and qualifications permit to wanting to umpire or score only for their local Club. Whatever role you might wish to have in the game and at whatever level you might wish to use your skills, GACU&S is here to support and advise you.
