Arbiters needed

Post by James Toon » Sat Dec 24, 2022 6:59 pm

I am looking to recruit two arbiters to complete the team for a weekend congress in Guildford from 31 March to 2 April 2023 (details will be posted in the Congress Diary section shortly). If interested please PM me. I am also in contact with the ECF but they haven't been able to offer anyone so far.

Is there pay of any kind offered for this gig?

Is there a daily free food allowance in addition or is that part of the daily rate ?

Whilst that is the case, the recommended practice is to ask for help from the Manager of Arbiters, who can contact a more targeted list. It would appear that as yet no-one suitable has come forward in this instance.

I'd have given it a go if I lived in London but with the state of the trains and hotel costs it's not a viable risk to be taking for outsiders. Hopefully you'll find yourself an arbiter though.

I approached the Manager of Arbiters some time ago. He has not so far been able to suggest anyone. This is why I am exploring additional avenues.

One arbiter contacted me in response to this post, and the ECF Manager of Arbiters also contacted me, so we now have a team in place for this event.
