We had a great season in 2009 with many highlights.

A successful over 35 National in Yarmouth- no issues or complaints about the umpiring,it always makes for a great  
success when there are no negative comments.

We sent the 5th most umpires to Nationals in 2009

Our registration numbers are on the rise

We were named BNS – “Association of the Year” – The nomination was put forward by
Andrew Downs on our behalf and we were chosen by the IKON Sports Committee, not by BNS.

It is great to be able to recognize our members for their accomplishments during the season.  I would encourage
you to let our other umpires know when they are doing a great job.

The rates for the next have years have increased and you can find them on the rate page.

All members of the previous  Board of Directors where re-elected for another season.

I would like to recognize and congratulate Andrew Downs on being chosen to umpire at the IBAF AAA World Junior
in Thunder Bay, Ontario.  Andrew is the first NS umpire in many years to be chosen to work an International
tournament.  Andrew, congrats on the great work!

We are in the process of planning a Baseball Canada Caravan.  A Caravan is a weekend long “clinic” which is
designed to prepare umpires for instructing at clinics and to evaluate their fellow umpires.  We are currently
looking for prospective candidates.  I would highly suggest that if you are interested that you would have several
years of experience umpiring, comprehensive rules knowledge and a desire to be in the National program either
now or in the future.  This is not an easy process.  I believe we have 12 umpires who have taken past Caravans
and they would all agree that it is not an easy process.  If there is anyone interested, please feel free to contact
either Andrew Downs or myself for more information.

To close, I want to thank everyone for their help in 2009 and hope to have everyone back in 2010.
