Time to celebrate the start of the season with BEER! Come down to Brewdog in Shepherds Bush for PHC does Oktoberfest!  Fancy dress is optional... Not obligatory!  Friends and family welcome.

From: 20:00 at Brewdog, Shepherds Bush

We will be hosting two umpire meetings to kick off the new season. All umpires and those keen to umpire are expected to come to one of the two following dates:

Thursday, September 17th 8:00pm
Monday, September 21st 8:00pm

Both meetings will be at Old Actonians and last one hour.

The meeting will go through the new rules and answer any questions you might have. It will also outline all the new perks of being an umpire, our plan to address some of the challenges we've faced over the last few years and the new awards/rewards for umpiring. Finally it's a chance to give some feedback as umpires, which I will bring to the Club Committee to address.  

We will also discuss the umpiring courses coming up.

Please contact [email protected] with any questions or if you are unable to make either meeting.

Level 1 Umpire Course rescheduled for November 8th

We are happy to announce that the Level 1 umpiring course hosted at PHC Chiswick (Acton Town) has been rescheduled for November 8th. Club members, family and friends who have not yet completed the level 1 course should attend if possible as it will be the only course at Acton Town this year. The course will cover all the basics of umpiring and leave you with the confidence to umpires games this season.

To register for the course please click here (Currently the course is on page 3). Please register by 28th October. Our target is to get 14 people signed up for the course.  


The course costs £50 and you will have that cost refunded by PHC Chiswick when you start to umpire games for the club. We do have two free spaces for the course so anyone who is finding the cost prohibitive please email [email protected] and we can register you through the clubs free spaces. 

Please email [email protected] as soon as possible if you are able to attend the level 1 course and when you have registered.

Umpire Development


Starting October 6th PHC Chiswick will be hosting an umpires development programme which will allow you to work each week on your umpire skills to make sure you're confident to blow that whistle when you need to! This is separate from the Level 1 course but means all Chiswick Umpires will get the opportunity to gain more knowledge and confidence before and as they umpire. Get in touch if you would like to take part in the programme.
