Just a note to say I've received the manual and I have to say it is beautifully presented; congrats on a superb job.

Just a quick note to say that we have recevied the umpires manual today looks really good and professional

****************

Having just purchased a copy of the new Home Study Manual, I am impressed with the layout of it, the sensible size of each chapter, not too much bumph, and the way it points out how to do the job, but even better  showing pitfalls that can arise. On the whole a good job well presented

****************

Whoever did the work on this production, and I would think there would be a few, deserves one big tick in the book. Everything, at least that I have read so far, is clear and concise. It would very easy to read and understand by even the newest bowler / umpire.

Have received the manual - many thanks. What a superb publication, can see your humour coming through it!!
Easy, clear to read and to follow, makes the other big one seem from the dark ages. Well done to all concerned and thanks once again.

Just received and played the Umpire Training DVD.
Very impressed, this is really a must for all Umpires to have in their kit, also to be able to show their club members what umpiring is all about.
Well done to all concerned

I received my Manual & DVD you sent, I can’t thank you enough. They are everything and more I was hoping for. I have shown the book to many people and all are as impressed as I am. You and your team have done a fabulous job on both. I passed my exams a month ago but it would have been a lot easier if I had discovered your material before hand. As one fellow umpire said there are lots of books on coaching but I’ve never seen one on Lawn Bowls Umpiring. Thank you for filling this void.
