Congratulations from the committee of the AFL Sydney Umpire Group to the umpires who have been appointed to the all important NEAFL and AFL Sydney Grand Finals this weekend. Thank you also to all those who attended the 2011 President’s Night function held last night at the Mercure Sydney. Only a couple more social events for the 2011 season – see below – and for more information contact Alison.

 Grand Final and Drinks

For those not running, show your support for your colleagues (and have some fun) by coming along to the events at Blacktown Olympic Park – it’s always good to have someone barrack for the guys in orange – then join us in the courtyard of the Hotel Clarendon, Devonshire Street, Surry Hills from 6.00 pm to celebrate the end of the season with your umpiring colleagues.

Date: Saturday 17^th October, 201

Time: From 6.00pm

 Location: In the Courtyard – Hotel Clarendon, Devonshire Street, Surry Hills

 There is no cost for this event with a FREE drink for every umpire, and the Clarendon does great food for hungry athletes.

Under 18s are welcome in the courtyard so long as they are accompanied by a responsible adult.
