Officials – Reward Scheme; courses in Aberdeen

Sunday 22nd January 2017

scottishathletics are delighted to confirm a commitment of around £5000 to £6000 which will help reward the army of volunteers who make sure our events happen – our Officials.

Following the Officials’ Commission meeting in November 2016, it was agreed that a reward scheme would be effective for all Officials from January 2017. The details of the scheme are confirmed below.

UKA Level One Official & Licensed Assistant Officials

Mileage expenses for championship meetings + a rule book every two years

UKA Level Two, Three & Four Officials

£30 kit/equipment allowance + mileage expenses for championship meetings

The criteria to be applied in order for each official to qualify for the allowance is a minimum of 15 meetings per year, 6 of which must be scottishathletics championships

The amount suggested above would be towards kit and equipment administered by the Officials’ Commission.

A voucher scheme is being set up with a supplier and details of this will be notified to all officials early in 2017. The scheme will allow officials to purchase kit/equipment of their choice from the nominated supplier.

For more details on the Reward Scheme please check the dedicated Officials section on this site.
