We have received the sad news today that one of our Vice Presidents Arthur Gibson of Lincolnshire has passed away at the age of 87. Secretary, Treasurer, East Representative, Pool Secretary and President were among the many posts that he occupied in the service of the County HUA.
He umpired at County and Regional level travelling hundreds of miles by train and bus, to umpire matches. On one memorable occasion he travelled to Redcar in County Durham on the Saturday, Ipswich on the Sunday, returning to Scunthorpe on the Monday morning all by train.
Arthur had a wicked sense of humour. Umpiring at Woodall Spa one Saturday he had occasion to yellow card a player just before the end of the game. The following week he was again umpiring at Woodhall when the he noticed the player who he had suspended the previous week warming up. “Hey number 9” says Arthur,” You only went off for 5 minutes last week, so you’ve still got 5 minutes left”.
Arthur’s funeral will be held at The Woodlands Crematorium on Friday 21st March at 13.30.

With further fuel price increases it was agreed at last nights management meeting to increase the mileage rate to 26p with immediate effect.

We cannot increase the amount on the system mid season so where you choose to claim the additional 2p you will have to calculate the additional amount and enter it as a value through the other expenses box.

Any problems feel free to contact me probably email is best.

Best regards

Tim Martin
