AFL South East MND Round:
AFL South East have our community themed Fight MND Round this weekend, with many clubs joining the fight and having numerous events and activities to support and fundraise against “The Beast” that is MND.
As our Umpires have done across all themed rounds, we ask for their support with clubs in working with them for any events they have organised.
AFL South East encourage all umpires to be involved and grab a beanie for the weekend.

On-Field Uniforms – Project Clothing.
AFL South East have put in an additional order to Project Clothing for Small, Medium & Large Shirts which should be in stock on the Project Clothing online store in coming days.
We will be in contact when these have arrived so that all our Umpires can be appropriately kitted out or get an additional shirt for the 2023 Finals Series.
As a result it is vitally important to be in contact with your coaches regarding your availability & have OfficialsHQ updated.
