Moving to Richmond Va
 
I'm moving to Richmond in about two weeks. It looks as if there is no online exam but you must join an association and go from there. Anyone have any insight on this and can help me out?

Central
 
You will want to join Central. There is a High School Camp that you may want to attend towards the end of June.

BadNewsRef is from the Hampton Roads area and will be along shortly (he's probably working and didn't have his games postponed lie those of us to the north, because the weather people thought it MIGHT snow). I'm sure he knows his way around that are and can help.

LCUBED you there? Help a fellow official out!

Thanks fellas. Appreciate all the help I can get. I've emailed people from central and can't seem to get an email back.

My hometown. I'm in the DC area now but know some people.

Pretty sure others may have better info but feel free to p.m. me.

Cole..., there are 2 3-man camps in the metro Richmond are in late June. The one you choose depends on your level knowledge and experience. We can communicate via email about them.

Arghh! I hear 'ya! Happened to us in south Hampton Roads as well. All evening events got cancelled 24 hours prior, and then our 1-3 inches turned into maybe 0.75 inches, and nothing accumulated on the roads. Complete overreaction, as usual.

Having grown up in Wisconsin, the fact that the mere threat of light snow here causes municipal chaos just boggles my mind. :eek:

Very frustrating. At least the game I lost was rescheduled on a day I had open.

My private school game in Williamsburg was canceled last night.

I'll actually be seeing the CVBOA commish this afternoon.

You must join an association to work HS ball in VA. Living in Richmond you want to join Central Virginia Basketball Officials Association.

LCUBED48 will PM you any information you require.

At least you got SOME snow. We had our games postponed and got zip, zilch, zero, nada, the null set of snow! Not a flake!!

Rescheduled on the holiday on Monday!

The president of the laboratory that I work for decided to remove the 1/2 day paid holiday on Good Friday from our calendar and add a full paid holiday on President's Day (a day that was previously not a paid holiday). Sounds like a good deal, getting a full paid holiday, and giving up a 1/2 paid holiday? That was until he discovered that many of our clients do not have a President's Day holiday and will still be sending in water, and soil, samples to be analyzed. Now I'm working Monday and we haven't heard about Good Friday yet.

Anybody here old enough to remember, as school kids, when we had separate days off for Lincoln's Birthday, and Washington's Birthday? And these holidays were actually celebrated on their birthdays, February 12, and February, 22, and not celebrated on the nearest Monday? How about it Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.? Didn't you help Abraham Lincoln split logs?
