on Monday in Hwa Chong, Korea Rowing ACT umpire Geoff Northam qualified for an international rowing umpires licence.
Along with Rowing Victoria umpire Bill Webster, who also achieved his licence, Geoff has been a part of the Australian Sports Commission’s National Officiating Scholarship Program since January 2011. The aim of the program is to develop the next generation of Australian rowing umpires to work on the world stage. It has enabled Geoff and Bill to travel overseas to attend the international federation’s (FISA) international umpiring education course, gain experience working with regatta juries at major events, and finally sit their international exams over the past two days in Korea.
The NOSP program has also equipped them to be presenters, assessors and mentors for developing new local, national and international umpires over the coming years. To be selected for the NOSP scholarship was itself a significant achievement, as only four Rowing Australia umpires have ever had this honour.
Congratulations to Geoff on his achievement.
Jonathon Boyd (from Brown Consulting) who the NCA have contracted to manage the course replacement indicates that:
Ian Dickinson has completed all that can be done whilst he is in Tasmania, aside from some minor maintenance on equipment and additional anchors to be made.
He has booked a crossing on the boat to Melbourne, which was the first available suitable to transport the goods, on the 30/10/11 and will also pick up the buoys on his way up to Canberra.
He will arrive on the 2/11/11 to commence the works. Works will progress quickly and pending no problems onsite, works will be complete by the 10/11/11.
Ian has informed me that the majority of these works will be conducted on the shore, and when work on the lake is required it can be easily planned in order to ensure zero disruption to the lake users, or impact on any planned events.
