Umps & Refs needed for Bluesfest

The largest lacrosse festival in Europe, Bluesfest,  is running next month (June 9th & 10th) and again it is looking to have as many referees and umpires as possible attend to ensure an even more memorable event. Last year 26 officials took part including a number of rookies who honed their skills  refereeing alongside some with very many years of experience.

All officials are invited to attend. You'll be most welcome. To encourage you, Bluesfest provides all officials with food, drinks with meals, and £50 for each day on which they officiate. In addition, travellers from outside the UK will be paid a travel allowance of £30 for each day that they officiate. It begins on Friday 8th with an evening party for those who wish to arrive the night before the tournament.

There will be a camping area, there is accommodation in local hotels, or you can just turn up for the day. It is an open competition for Men’s and Women’s teams. The event will be played in a round robin format on the Saturday and, based upon these results teams will be seeded for the Sunday matches with a main competition and a plate competition.

Contact Rob Collinge as soon as possible if you would like to officiate at Bluesfest This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

If your country is one of the miscreants, please take steps to see that the missing payment(s) is/are made immediately.
