| PETER DAVIES | |
 It is very sad for me to report that my father, Peter Davies died on 23rd December after a short, unexpected illness. He was 80 years old. He was a founder member of KHUA and KHA and was the Saturday appointments secretary for a considerable period. He was still umpiring up until this season, most recently for Sutton Valence U14 girls' team, and also treasurer of Sutton Valence Hockey Club.A memorial service will be held at St Mary's Church, Sutton Valence at 12.00 midday on Thursday 14th January 2010, followed by refreshments at the Swan Inn, Sutton Valence, all our welcome.

| L1 UMPIRE CANDIDATE REGISTRATION AND ASSESSMENT - IMPORTANT CHANGES | |
| For any members who organise, tutor and/or assess L1 umpires, please be aware of the changes in process relating to the L1 umpire award (also for the information of any Candidate umpires who may visit this site). Please read the guidance on the England Hockey website regarding the paperwork. (CLICK ON ”MORE” at the end of this item, and read the Links and Documents on the right of the EH website screen which will then appear). In summary, for KHUA, this is how it will need to be organised, to enable records to be kept up to date. L1 course tutors need to send Sarah Chapman (by email attachment or standard post) the Candidate Registration Form from the umpire course pack (which has changed in design) once there has been success for any Candidate at the theory stage. Umpire details will be forwarded onto EH by Sarah, having recorded the umpire details. Once a candidate has been assessed successfully, please will all assessors notify Sarah Chapman by email with the date, venue and level of the assessment match and any changes in umpire contact details. Sarah will then pass that information onto England Hockey umpiring department. England Hockey will notify both the umpire and Sarah of the formal accreditation and umpire number, providing that the assessment has been completed within 2 years following success at the theory stage. Any assessments falling outside that period will not be accepted and the umpire 'de-activated' and needing to complete a refresher course/match For the umpire, please remember to ensure that you notify your assessor if your contact details have changed since the time of your theory course. ...
