At the 2003 WDCA Umpires Board AGM, held on the 12th September, it was decided that the WDCA Umpires Board amalgamate with the WDCA and appoint a WDCA Umpires Director onto the WDCA Executive. This was largely due to the excessive insurance and public liability costs, which would now be absorbed through the WDCA insurance policy.
