Rowing Victoria Condolences
Over the last year we lost a number of our community and this reminds us of the great contributions individuals make to their clubs and to the sport. Rowing Victoria would like to register their sincere condolences on the passing of the following rowing community members.
2018/19
Martin Owen
A great of Australian rowing, Martin Owen, died on Monday night after a long and debilitating illness. He had a formidable intellect and abundant enthusiasm which he used to great effect. He was a leader who had a considerable influence many people.
Martin as Captain
For some 30 years, Martin was a great rower, coach and administrator of the sport.
As a cox, he won National Championships and steered at the interstate championships before turning his hand to lightweight rowing. His rowing achievements included winning four National Lightweight Eight Championships in a row before coaching crews which also won this event. He was a small lightweight, but tenacious. He was unlucky not to be selected into Australian crews for several years in a row. In the year he was most likely to be selected, he was in a serious car accident at the National Championships breaking his back in two places. Despite a determined attempt to return to top level rowing, his severe injuries prevailed.
Martin then devoted his energies to coaching and he produced many Australian oarsmen. He was an Australian under 23 coach for three years and the senior lightweight coach at the 1989 World Championships.
As an administrator, Martin initiated the development of Mercantile Rowing Club into an elite club and served on both the Mercantile and the Victorian Rowing Association Committees for some 15 years. Naturally he was elected a life member of Mercantile.
After his retirement from active rowing, he and Peter Philip, another great of Australian rowing, established a successful insurance agency business. He was an influential and popular person in the insurance industry. He was well respected by both underwriters and brokers alike for his outstanding technical knowledge and his imaginative and sophisticated approach.
After finishing his coaching career, he also turned his sporting attention to yachting and was a natural at this sport.
He will be sadly missed by many rowers over whom he had so much influence. The words of an early American President and Statesman, John Quincy Adams, are apt: If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.

Peter Borwick 1942– 2018
Lake Colac Rowing Club
Passed away peacefully on December 1st, 2018, at Colac Hospital aged 76 years, surrounded by his loving family.
Peter was a gentle, kind and loving husband, father and grandfather. To quote his words ” I have had a good and happy life with no regrets”
Will be sadly missed by Phyl; Kate, Greg, Olivia and Harry; Matthew; Sara, Mark, Holly, Oliver and Hugo.
Nick Garratt 1947 - 2019
NICHOLAS GARRATT R.M. (Nick) AM 6 December 1947 - 8 July 2019 Died suddenly doing what he loved at Penrith Rowing Centre. Son of Alice and George. Much loved brother of Gillian and Peter; Christopher and Christine; Gabrielle; Tim (dec) and Nancy; Stephanie and families.
Dominic Coleman
Our dearly loved brother and uncle Served and protected Australia as a Federal Agent of the AFP in the footsteps of his father Kevin (County Court Judge) his grandfather P. L. (Les) (first leader of the DLP) And great grandfather Patrick McM Glynn (Federation Parliamentarian)
We will not stand at your grave and howl Battered bleak and drained of brilliance – You are forever the diamond glints on snow!
Nicholas and Robyn, Lachlan, Madeleine and Gabriel Coleman
Gary Giles
Barwon Rowing Club
Barwon Rowing Club members and supporters mourn the passing of Garry Giles and extend their sympathies to his family. A member of the club for 57 years, Garry rowed through the 1960's, winning the South Australian Championship Junior and Senior Fours in 1964 and the Victorian Championship Junior Eight in 1966, and in 1999 was part of the winning Barwon crew at the Murray River Marathon.
Since 1962 he has been happy to fix a tap or dig a trench, volunteer at club functions, especially as chief chef at barbeques, and was a regular barman. Known for his big smile, his even bigger handshake, generous nature and sense of humour, he will be much missed at the club, particularly on Sundays at noon.
Well rowed Garry!
7
John Jopling (1930 - 2019) John Jopling rowed in Banks RC HOY crews for 43 years, was in 4 winning Banks H (70-74 years) crews from the introduction of this category, stroke in the 2007, 2008, 2 seat in 2009 and stroke again in 2010.
He was born in Ballarat and joined the Wendouree RC, winning a maiden four with 17 entries at the Ballarat regatta in 1949, and a Junior four in 1954.
He served for 12 years as Vice President at Banks and represented the Club on the Victorian Rowing Association and was with Don Todd, an early promoter of Masters rowing in the State.
His son Peter in his address on July 10 told a large gathering:
'Whilst business drove Dad by day, it was his love of rowing that was one of the main drivers of his life outside his business hours. In all our Father rowed for 75 years and I would like to quote what he had to say about rowing "rowing has been a constant throughout my life.The sport provided me with valuable lessons and moments of discovery... The values that are present in sport are timeless namely commitment, cooperation. dedication, discipline, organisation, and selfishness. Those values translate to study, family, and community service."

President's Report: Joseph Joyce
On behalf of the Rowing Victoria (RV) Board I am pleased to present the Board report for the 2018/19 season.
Rowing Victoria remains the fastest growing rowing community in Australia, servicing the largest memberships and running the most regattas across the country.
Our primary focus is to represent our members. We provide rowing for all ages and abilities in an engaging, welcoming and safe manner and are proud to represent our 48 member clubs, 48 member schools, volunteers and supporters. RV facilitates safe and fair racing for all athletes and provide a unified voice to protect and grow the sport.
We are moving towards the end of our current four-year strategic plan that was developed to address the sports emerging needs. We have delivered this strategic plan through four key pillars:
Pillar 1: Event management Pillar 2: Regatta operations and services Pillar 3: Member engagement and development Pillar 4: Advocacy and stakeholder engagement
Our structure to align the organization to our strategic direction includes elected Directors, RV employees and an extensive volunteer network.
The Board consists of 6 elected Directors and has the discretion to appoint up to 2 further Directors to complement the mixture of skills, gender and experience.
In October 2018 Deborah Spring was elected to the Board to join Patrick McNamara, Josie Millard, Leeanne Ambrose, Dick Bartlett, and myself. Deb replaced Caitlin Ripper who has been a key figure at RV for many years. We thank Caitlin for her hard work and commitment to the sport.
It was with great regret that this year we accepted the resignation from Josie Millard from the RV Board and Umpires sub commissions. Josie was elected as VP Rowing Victoria and has made a significant impact on the sport for many years. She will be greatly missed.

Presidents Report: Joe Joyce (cont.)
To ensure we retain a professional oversight of our financial position the Board has appointed Nikki McAllen as a Director of RV and Chair of the Finance Audit and Risk subcommittee. Nikki is a Management Consulting Partner at KPMG and has specialised in working with CFOs to shape their future intelligent and integrated finance and back office functions by improving processes, systems and tools.
As a Board we are fully committed to meeting the needs of the sport and have become a more visible feature of rowing in Victoria. We are proud to reflect gender equity and believe the group fairly represents each segment of our community. I would like to thank each Board Member for sharing their time and expertise for the betterment of the sport.
The RV strategy is implemented by the dedicated team led by our CEO, Nick Gall. They work tirelessly to support our members. We would like to thank James, Laura S, Adam, Jen and Laura F for their ongoing commitment.
RV continues to build our capacity to service our community and this year we saw the RV Office move into the Sporting Precinct, Albert Park, which, has proved to be a far more suitable space. Its proximity to the VIS and VicSport ensure we maintain close relationships to other State sporting bodies.
To promote broader involvement from within the sport, we have aligned our commission charters and encouraged wide community representation across the four key areas of Umpires, Competition, Members and Development. Each Commission includes an RV Staff and Board member, to ensure consistency of focus and ease of implementation.
The Umpires Commission, led by Tony Lawless, is our technical advisory group to maintain and improve the quality of umpiring across our competitions. The growing demand for racing has created a greater demand for umpires and infrastructure to ensure safety and fairness for all athletes. We are incredibly fortunate to have such a large number of passionate volunteers to undertake roles as boat race officials and umpires. RV is committed to the ongoing recruitment and training of umpires and this year we launched an online level 1 BRO course to ensure ease of access and support for volunteers. Our aim is to mentor these volunteers to gain the experience and skills required for advancement.
The Competition Commission, Chaired by Dick Bartlett, is focussed to maximise participation in a safe and inviting environment. They have an enormous task to develop the yearly competition calendar and to determine the allocation of regatta dates, formats and venues. This season they have continued to work with athletes, clubs and coaches to ensure we provide appropriate competition for all levels.
10
Presidents Report: Joe Joyce (cont.)
To align our activities more closely with our strategic plan we have changed the format and remit of the Development Commission to include Member and Community engagement. Deb Spring will Chair this Members Commission when it commences later in the year. This change was required to ensure we remain a relevant part of the broader discussions and decisions that impact our sport. We are currently working with the Melbourne City Council in response to their proposed Domain Master Plan and with local authorities such as Marine Safety Victoria and Parks Victoria.
Our focus on safety is highlighted with RV stipulating compulsory training and accreditation for all coxswains and coaches and revised safety rules communicated to all clubs.
RV has partnered with Rowing Australia to develop pathways for athletes to move from school programs into the club system and to elite programs. We are currently working with schools, clubs, coaches and athletes to better understand the issues and how best to support continued involvement in the sport.
Through a new funding arrangement with Rowing Australia we have created the Victorian Pathway Program that will work with clubs, primarily Mercantile and MUBC, with the VIS and athletes to provide financial support to identify, train and support emerging athletes.
We will continue to look for appropriate opportunity to reward talented athletes with Victorian crew representation outside that of the Interstate regatta. This will include participation in Pathway regattas and other suitable events.
Rowing Victoria works closely with RA and other State Associations to develop sport wide initiatives and ensure consistency of operations. Our involvement in the national rowing participation and development plan will ensure our efforts are aligned with the national approach. As a member association to Rowing Australia, our interests are represented through our appointed RA Councillor and we thank Patrick McNamara for his continued advocacy.

Presidents Report: Joe Joyce (cont.)
The Audit, Risk and Finance Sub-Committee is Chaired by Nikki McAllen and reports to the Board of Rowing Victoria. It has responsible for oversight, integrity and good management of Rowing Victoria’s financial performance and position including enterprise risks and the International and Interstate Funds. During the 2018/9 financial year the Sub-Committee has:
• Facilitated a refresh and reassessment of the RV enterprise risk register, including development of an executable mitigation plan which considers risks to member facilities and events, key personnel, health and safety, brand and reputation and finance
• Assessed the internal control points raised by the independent audit and endorsed recommended process changes to address these
• Reviewed the International and Interstate Funds performance in line with the approved investment strategy The Sub-Committee is currently undertaking two reviews: 1) the processes required to support RV’s role in managing the Victorian Performance Pathways Program and 2) the processes in place to manage the International and Interstate Funds, including mechanisms for safeguarding them.
The Nominations and Awards committee includes Leeanne Ambrose and Josie Millard. The purpose of this committee is to identify and recognise those members of our rowing community for nominations and awards, from within Rowing Victoria and broader sporting communities. The committee partnered with the Hall of Fame committee, headed by Margot Foster, which this year saw the first combined Rowing Victoria Sports Awards and Hall of Fame dinner to recognise outstanding efforts and contributions made by our clubs, athletes, coaches and officials, as well as the induction of James Marburg, David Crawshay OAM, Cameron McKenzie-McHarg and Eric William Tullock into the Hall of Fame. We look forward to making this dinner an even bigger success next year.
The sport of rowing was well represented in the VicSport Awards. In partnership with the Victorian State Government, the Awards recognise and celebrate the achievements of our home grown sporting heroes and legends. The VicSport Awards honoured those who have made an outstanding contribution to sport in Victoria as individual's, teams athletes, coaches, administrators and volunteers from both metropolitan and regional areas in Victoria. Rowing Victoria is pleased to announce that they had three finalists selected by an expert panel of judges.
Lucy Stephan MUBC - Female Athlete of the Year
Andrew Guerin Mercantile Rowing Club - State Government of Victoria Service to Community Sport Award
Wes Canny Corowa Rowing Club - Victorian Community Coach of the Year
12
Presidents Report: Joe Joyce (cont.)
It was with great excitement that we saw Wes named as the Victorian Community Coach of the Year and we congratulate Lucy and Andrew on being nominated as finalists amongst a very competitive field.
We congratulate Rene Klupacs, who was chosen as a finalist for the Julius L Patching Award. This award recognises the outstanding contribution that officials make to the fabric of the Olympic sporting community in Victoria.
RV would also like to congratulate James Peters from Melbourne University Boat Club, who has been honoured with an AM for his services to the legal profession and rowing. Jim has been a permanent Chair of the Rowing Australia appeal tribunal since 2017. We congratulate Jim on his award.
A new strategic plan will be developed in 2020 and will form the roadmap for Rowing Victoria as we strive to become a world-leading rowing organisation. Rowing Victoria remains in a strong position to serve its passionate members with a dedicated Board of Directors, professional staff and an engaged volunteer community.
13
Chief Executive Officer Report: Nick Gall
Rowing Victoria has recently concluded the third full year of the current four year Strategic Plan covering the period from 2017 to 2020 aligned with the Olympic cycle funding from Sport & Recreation Victoria. Board and other considerations are based on the Strategic Plan Pillars.
Advocacy & Stakeholder Engagement; Rowing Victorian engaged with the City of Melbourne representing the interests of rowing in responding to the Domain Master Plan. A sub-group of the Board worked with Rob Zahara and Karsten Fosterling to develop a comprehensive response and we are pleased with the ongoing open dialogue and consul- tation with all future implementation of the plan. Rowing Victoria has also successfully lobbied Parks Victoria to undertake $5 million dredging project on the Yarra that will commence with the Princes Bridge landing. This process has also opened up a dia- logue on the replacement of the Princes Bridge landing with a floating alternative. Rowing Victoria continues to work with the Department of Environment, Land and Water on improving the facilities at the National Water Sports Centre. The initial $3 million that has been committed will work to improving the current buildings, refurbishment of the judges box and some support towards a floating pontoon. The expenditure will require investment from the waterway users. Rowing Victoria is working with the City of Ballarat in order to make a bid for a Nationals and National Masters at Lake Wendouree. The criteria will require some further improvements to facilities that the City of Ballarat have committed to completing pending a successful bid. Rowing Victoria continues to review its state-wide facilities plan with a view to working with the land managers and councils to propose improvement plans.
Regatta & Event Operations; This year saw the inaugural stand-alone Awards Dinner that attracted 130 members where we celebrat- ed the fantastic achievements of our competitors, volunteers, McVilly-Pearce recipients and Hall of Fame inductees. The event was really well received by the membership and we look forward to building on this next year. Rowing Victoria initiated the inaugural School Sport Victoria Indoor Rowing Championships this year that was a resounding success. The event attracted 250 athletes participating in multiple events bringing the total entries to 625. Rowing Victoria worked with the Competition Commission this year to deliver a maximum 10 hour day across the board at all regattas. This result was very positive and it may have been the catalyst for an uplift in regatta seats of 4000 while membership decreased slightly. We will continue to meet the needs of our members in this space.
Member Engagement; Rowing Victoria in the current year has been trialling a part time position in Member Engagement which is targeted at better servicing the needs of our members through relevant, insightful, practical and con- sumable information to our members. Member Engagement statistics were increased by 35% this year through social media and alignment with Rowing Australia stories. 14
Chief Executive Officer Report: Nick Gall (cont.)
E-News numbers were boosted by 30% due to linking all social media links into the E-News stories. Next year we aim to focus on obtaining and publishing good news stories from clubs in order to create awareness of this wonderful rowing community.
Victorian Pathway Program; Rowing Victoria’s role in the pathway is to articulate the pathway for all leaving school age rowers to consider joining a club and continuing in the sport. The challenge is the segmentation between rowers considering the high-performance pathway and those wanting to row for fun. Our aim this year was to assist clubs in articulating their product and provide school age athletes with enough information to make good decisions with future rowing. Rowing Victoria displayed a pathway tent and pathway collateral at 12 regatta days this year that al- lowed many one on one valuable discussions with student athletes and parents. We look forward to taking this to the next level this year.
Victorian State Team; Rowing Victoria were privileged to obtain the services of Mike McKay OAM as Head Coach of the Vic- torian Team for the Interstate Regatta this year. Mike’s amazing knowledge and leadership defined the professionalism the whole team had this year. I would like to thank Mike for his great work.
National Alignment; Online Level 1 Official Accreditation: RV has undertaken an initiative to bring the NOAS Level 1 accreditation online. We intend on making this course available to all rowing states in order to assist in recruiting more officials. Child Safe Policy: RV was really pleased to provide insights into a National Child Safe Policy after leading the way with its adoption at the end of 2017. Our next steps will be to work with all states, RA and clubs in building a stronger Child Safe culture across the sport.
Maximising Funding - State and National Government Opportunities; Through application to Sport & Recreation Victoria, RV was successful in achieving Athlete Pathway Travel Grant Funding for underage athletes in excess of $10,000 [$6,000 but you may be including ath- lete specific grants – can you verify] that provides grants to improve Victorian athlete development pathways from community to national representation level.
RV also obtained $12,185 under Change Our Game funding that provides funding to assist women to access professional learning and development opportunities to enhance skills in sport and recreation leadership and management.
15
Chief Executive Officer Report: Nick Gall (cont.)
RV has come to the end of the “Victorians More Active Grants” from Sport & Recreation Victoria that have supported Rowing Victoria for the past 3 years. We now embark on the next round of funding called “Together More Active” that requires us to align our strategic pillars with Victorian Government. RV was also pleased to endorse a number of clubs in their applications under the “Sporting Clubs Grant Program”. This program provides grants to assist in the purchase of sports uniforms and equip- ment and to improve the capacity and accessibility of Victorian clubs and other community sport and recreation organisations and increase the skills of their coaches, officials and managers.
We thank the Victorian Government for all their ongoing support and we look forward to working with them over the next three years to achieve better outcomes for both our members and stakeholders.
Relationships – RA, VIS, Regatta Hosts; RV would like to thank Rowing Australia for their support to our elite and underage athletes. Their CampaignNumberOne program clearly articulates a performance driven culture that underpins High Performance and the professionalism the sport stands for. RV continues to work closely with the VIS to support High Performance outcomes for our Victorian athletes in particular with the appointment of their new head coach Noel Donaldson. We thank them for all their work and in particular their efforts in supporting our Victorian State Team. We look forward to continuing to work with them in the future. A special thanks to all our regatta hosts. RV realise the challenges we face in running quality regattas and the efforts required to adhering to safety protocols. We hope we are easing the administrative burden for you through our support. RV looks forward to working with you 2019-20 season. We also thank our member Clubs and Schools, and in turn their members and students, for your sup- port of our programs and regattas in 2018 - 19.
Our Team appreciation I would like to thank the staff at Rowing Victoria including: Adam Harrison, Jen Szuster, Laura Schou- ten, James Scott, Jessica Joyce and now Laura Foley, for their hard work and difficult hours the sport presents. The Board of Rowing Victoria, led by Chair – Joseph Joyce, Vice Chair - Josie Millard and Directors- Leeanne Ambrose, Nikki McAllen, Deb Spring, Pat McNamara & Richard Bartlett have been instru- mental in supporting the delivery of the Strategic Plan and the reputation of the association. I would also like to thank all the Boat Race Officials led by Chair of the Umpires Commission – Tony Lawless.
16
Chief Executive Officer Report: Nick Gall (cont.)
The consultation that has been delivered through the Competition, Development and Umpires Commis- sions provided us with the opportunity to make evidence-based decisions and we thank them for their work. Last of all I would like to thank Selectors and in particular David Yates as Chair of Selectors, who has decided to pass the baton after three very successful years and all state team coaches for delivering very successful Interstate events. Our on-water performance demonstrates the culture that Victoria has within the Big White V.
Conclusion This year was much improved for engagement with our membership through sub-committees of the board. This engagement has allowed us to represent the best interests of rowing and the continued ac- cessibility for all rowers.
Nick Gall CEO Rowing Victoria

State pathway Coordinator Report: Jen Szuster
Rowing Victoria in 2018 employed a full time staff member to work as the State Pathway Coordinator in conjunction with the Victorian Institute of Sport Rowing Head Coach. Through the season the SPC met with 50 clubs and schools to discuss the Victorian Performance Pathway (VPP) program and how the clubs, schools and RV could work together better to keep the athletes rowing beyond their school programs. The SPC attended 9 regattas, was interviewed at each regatta by the commentator and spoke to coaches, parents and athletes about the opportunities of rowing after school. The Pathway 8 program for Victoria was reignited however instead of focusing on Under 19 athletes we changed this to be focusing on Under 18 athletes. This was received very positively as it meant that across the board we were able to engage more athletes in the Pathway program and in the Under 19 selection trialling process. Through the Pathway 8 program we had 18 athletes of boys and girls rowing in eights that we took up to the underage selection trials. The girls won their event at the Underage selection trials despite being a year younger than their competitors. The boys had a strong performance coming fourth. The Pathway 8 program exposed all the athletes to the opportunities that are available to them beyond school through our high performance rowing clubs and the Victorian Institute of Sport rowing program. The Pathway 8 program has significantly increased athletes interests in rowing after school that are currently in year 10 or year 11. Over the season the database of contact details for prospective rowers grew by 40%. This will continue to rise with the increased interest in the program for the coming season. RV have been working hard with the clubs to ensure that we have all the correct details about each club’s offering. These details are being promoted through the Rowing Victoria website and through emails out to the database of contact details that have been established. Rowing Victoria will continue to work hard to increase the retention of rowers from school programs to our rowing clubs.

Umpires Panel Report: Tony Lawless
The Umpires Commission consists of six current serving level 2/3 umpires (Michael Eastaughffe, David Grubits, Lesley Skevington, Ben Ratcliffe, Rod Florence, Tony Lawless) and two board members. The commission meets on a regular basis and covers the areas of education, in servicing, testing and appointment of umpires to regattas and associated tasks. This year the addition of board members in Josie Millard and Leeanne Ambrose has added a greater level of communication, appreciation and transparency in the work of the commission.
One of the biggest changes to regatta day organisation has been the introduction of technology in the form of tablets replacing the printed sheets and the use of live results. This has saved an enormous amount of regatta time and has made communication at regattas more efficient.
Encouraging people to become a level 2 umpire has always presented a challenge to the commission with numbers gradually increasing over the years. This year we have seen the greatest increase in many decades with 8 being granted their license by the board after training and testing. We would like to congratulate, Claire Dennis, Steven Shepard, Rob Kemp, Mick Salter, Sam Cross, Geoff Rix, Janine Smith and Scott Smith. On the same subject the Commission congratulates Duncan McKinnon for being accredited as a Level 3 Australian Umpire. We currently have another five people in active training to becoming level 2 umpires next season.
In a further extension to educating umpires, the long awaited and much anticipated level 1 Boat Race Official on line course is likely to be active by the end of the year. A great deal of time and effort has gone into this production which will be the envy of other states and will save an enormous amount of time, doing away with the countless hours conducting face to face training.
The commission would like to thank the volunteer efforts of every umpire this season. Umpires are very giving of their time, spending long hours at regattas, travelling long distances, officiating in all weather conditions and all for a lunch and a cold refreshment at the end of the day.
Special thanks to Rod who has taken on extra duties this year and was aptly awarded the Bob Duncan award for his contribution to umpiring in Victoria and Eric who has continued with his work as Field of Play Manager despite illness this year. A big thank to Adam Harrison for his enormous efforts in supporting the day to day coordination of umpires through his work at the office.
‘Volunteers are not paid not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless.’

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2019
The financial statements cover Rowing Victoria Inc. as an individual entity. Rowing Victoria Inc. is a not-for -profit Association incorporated in Victoria under the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012 ('the Act').
The principal activity of the Association for the year ended 30 June 2019 was management of rowing in Victoria.
The functional and presentation currency of Rowing Victoria Inc. is Australian dollars.
The financial report was authorised for issue by the Committee of Management on 17 September 2019.
Comparatives are consistent with prior years, unless otherwise stated. 1 Basis of Preparation
The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012. The Association is a not-for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. The functional reporting currency used in preparation of these accounts is Australian Dollars.
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless stated otherwise. These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in order to satisfy the financial reporting requirements of the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012 (Victoria). The Board has determined that the Association is a reporting entity. The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs and do not take account changing money values or, except where specifically stated, current valuations of non-current assets. The following significant accounting policies, which are consistent with the previous period, unless otherwise stated, have been adopted in the preparation of these financial statements.

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2019
2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Revenue recognition Sponsorship contributions are generally recognised as revenue on receipt except for specific sponsorships or donations for which the Association has received a binding commitment from the sponsor or donor.
Grants are recognised at fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all grant conditions will be met. The grants are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income when the Association obtains control of the revenue, it is probable that the economic benefits gained from the contract will flow to the Association and the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably.
When grant revenue is received whereby the Association incurs an obligation to deliver economic value directly
back to the contributor, this is considered a reciprocal transaction and the revenue is recognised in the Statement of Financial Position as a liability until the service has been delivered to the contributor, otherwise the grant is recognised as income on receipt.
Proceeds from additional activities are recognised on receipt. Interest revenue is recognised as it is earned, using the effective interest method. Donations and dividends are recognised when the Association receives control over the related funds.
(b) Plant and equipment Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation.
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets, is depreciated on the diminishing value basis over their useful lives to the Association from the time the asset is held ready for use.
The depreciation rates used for each class of asset are:
Office equipment 20% to 50%
Computer equipment 20% to 33.33%
Regatta and rowing equipment 12.5% to 50%
Office Fit out 20% to 33.33%
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by the Association to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount of those assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows which will be received from the assets’ employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have not been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2019
(c) Employee Benefits Provision is made for the Association’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end of the reporting period. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the net present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. In determining the liability, consideration is given to employee wage increases and the probability that the employee may not satisfy vesting requirements. Those cash outflows are discounted using market yields on corporate bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cash flows. Contributions are made by the entity to employee superannuation funds and are charged as expenses when incurred. Annual leave that is not expected to be wholly settled within 12 months is discounted allowing for expected salary levels in the future period when the leave is expected to be taken. (d) Trade and other payables Accounts payable and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by the Association during the reporting period that remain unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.
(e) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short‑term highly liquid investments. The term deposits, which short term in nature and are available as cash on call, have been included as cash and cash equivalents. (f) Financial assets Investments held are originally recognised at cost which includes transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at fair value which is equivalent to their market bid price at reporting date. Movements in fair value are recognised through the asset revaluation reserve. (g) Inventories Inventories are measured at lower of cost and net realisable value, adjusted when applicable for any loss of service potential.
(h) Goods and services tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of the GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables and payables in the Statement of Financial Position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, tax authority.

(i) Impairment of assets of each reporting period, the board reviews the carrying values of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, impairment is carried out on the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use, to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. (j) Investments and other financial assets Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on both the business model within which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset unless, an accounting mismatch is being avoided.
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When there is no reasonable expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset, its carrying value is written off. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Typically, such financial assets will be either: (i) held for trading, where they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the short-term with an intention of making a profit, or a derivative; or (ii) designated as such upon initial recognition where permitted. Fair value movements are recognised in profit or loss. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income include equity investments which the consolidated entity intends to hold for the foreseeable future and has irrevocably elected to classify them as such upon initial recognition.
Impairment of financial assets
The consolidated entity recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are either measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The measurement of the loss allowance depends upon the consolidated entity's assessment at the end of each reporting period as to whether the financial instrument's credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, based on reasonable and supportable information that is available, without undue cost or effort to obtain.
Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12-month expected credit loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset's lifetime expected credit losses that is attributable to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where it is determined that credit risk has increased significantly, the loss allowance is based on the asset's lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit loss recognised is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate.
30
Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2019
For financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is recognised within other comprehensive income. In all other cases, the loss allowance is recognised in profit or loss.
(k) Comparative figures Where required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation for the current financial year. (l) Fair Value Measurement When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principle market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market. Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interest. For non- financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
(m) Income tax The Association is exempt from paying income tax under Section 50-45 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997. (n) Current and non-current classification Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification. An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current. A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

(o) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations
(I) New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted The incorporated association has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the incorporated association. The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the incorporated association:
AASB 9 Financial Instruments The incorporated association has adopted AASB 9 from 1 July 2018. The standard introduced new classification and measurement models for financial assets. A financial asset shall be measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows which arise on specified dates and that are solely principal and interest. A debt investment shall be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is to both hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows which arise on specified dates that are solely principal and interest as well as selling the asset on the basis of its fair value. All other financial assets are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss unless the entity makes an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading or contingent consideration recognised in a business combination) in other comprehensive income ('OCI'). Despite these requirements, a financial asset may be irrevocably designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss to reduce the effect of, or eliminate, an accounting mismatch. For financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss, the standard requires the portion of the change in fair value that relates to the entity's own credit risk to be presented in OCI (unless it would create an accounting mismatch). New simpler hedge accounting requirements are intended to more closely align the accounting treatment with the risk management activities of the entity. New impairment requirements use an 'expected credit loss' ('ECL') model to recognise an allowance. Impairment is measured using a 12-month ECL method unless the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition in which case the lifetime ECL method is adopted. For receivables, a simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses using a lifetime expected loss allowance is available.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers The incorporated association has adopted AASB 15 from 1 January 2018. The standard provides a single comprehensive model for revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity shall recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard introduced a new contract-based revenue recognition model with a measurement approach that is based on an allocation of the transaction price. This is described further in the accounting policies below. Credit risk is presented separately as an expense rather than adjusted against revenue. Impact of adoption AASB 9 and AASB 15 were adopted using the modified retrospective approach and as such comparatives have not been restated. There was no impact on opening retained profits as at 1 July 2018.
32
Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2019
(o) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations (continued)
New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the incorporated association for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2019. The incorporated association's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the incorporated association, are set out below.
AASB 16 Leases This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 'Leases' and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Subject to exceptions, a 'right-of-use' asset will be capitalised in the statement of financial position, measured at the present value of the unavoidable future lease payments to be made over the lease term. The exceptions relate to short-term leases of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets (such as personal computers and small office furniture) where an accounting policy choice exists whereby either a 'right-of-use' asset is recognised or lease payments are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. A liability corresponding to the capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or dismantling costs. Straight-line operating lease expense recognition will be replaced with a depreciation charge for the leased asset (included in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liability (included in finance costs). In the earlier periods of the lease, the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease expenses under AASB 117. For classification within the statement of cash flows, the lease payments will be separated into both a principal (financing activities) and interest (either operating or financing activities) component. For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases. The incorporated association will adopt this standard from 1 July 2019 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by the incorporated association.
3 Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events; management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.
33
Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 June 2019
Key estimates - Useful lives and depreciation
The Association has assessed the useful lives of assets and to recognise these assets over their useful lives using an appropriate depreciation method and rate. Refer to Note 2(b).
Key estimates - Impairment The Association assesses impairment at the end of each reporting date by evaluation of conditions and events specific to the Association that may be an indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed using value-in-use calculations which incorporate various key assumptions. No impairment has been recognised in respect of assets.
Key estimates - Provision for Employee benefits The Association has determined the liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end of the reporting year. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. Refer to Note 2(c).

Rowing Victoria, through its insurers, continues to vigorously defend these claims however the outcome of such proceedings arising from these claims cannot be ascertained at this stage. Based on the advice of our insurers, management are of the view that any adverse action would be covered by the insurance policies in place and, hence, no amounts have been provided for in the financial statements.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Rowing Victoria Incorporated
Opinion We have audited the financial report of Rowing Victoria Incorporated (the association), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration. In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the association gives a true and fair view of the association’s financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements and the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the association in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Other Information The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the association’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2019, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report The directors of the association are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements and the Associ- ations Incorporation Reform Act 2012 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to ena- ble the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the association to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going con- cern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the associa- tion or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from ma- terial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasona- bly be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or er- ror, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is suffi- cient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, in- tentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the association’s internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the association’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclo- sures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the association to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
44
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during the audit.

Victorian Annual Awards 2018-2019
Recognising our Volunteers in 2018-2019
Without the contribution and support of volunteers, successful club / school management, training, development and rowing competition in Victoria would simply not be possible. Rowing Victoria would like to thank all umpires, regattas volunteers, commission and committee members, board members and many other contributors for their time, energy and outstanding passion for the role/s they have played in the past year. While RV would love to be able to acknowledge everyone, the following awards recognise a number of those who have provided outstanding services to rowing in Victoria.
The William Waterfield Award for Outstanding Service to Victorian rowing.
Named after life member William Waterfield, who exemplifies a long and outstanding service to the sport in Victoria, we are pleased to present this year’s award to Brian Digby. Brian has been the backbone of rowing in Geelong. Post his competitive rowing career Brian remained extremely involved with the Barwon Rowing Club and the Geelong Rowing Association. He spent 16 years as an administrator of the latter and was instrumental in driving improvements and enhancements of the Barwon River rowing course as a regatta venue. Brian continues to contribute selflessly to the production and maintenance of all Geelong based regattas and infrastructure improvement.
The Kath Bennett Award for Outstanding Service to a Rowing Community in Victoria.
The Kath Bennett Award for Outstanding Service to a Rowing Community in Victoria is awarded to a person who has done outstanding work in a club, regatta committee or region. Kath Bennett is a fine example of someone who made such a contribution with her work in reinvigorating women’s rowing prior to its amalgamation with the men’s association in 1979. We are pleased to present this year’s award to Mary Hunter. Mary Hunter, a teacher at Frankston High School, started the Frankston High School rowing program in 2003. Since then many students have passed through the program. Mary runs this in her own time on a volunteer basis as rowing is not part of the sport curriculum. Her dedication to the students and to rowing is evident in the hours that she contributes along with a full teaching load. Mary drives students to and from Carrum Rowing Club, organises Ergo Club and encourages the student rowers to enter regattas, notably Head of School Girls. Frankston High School has acknowledged Mary Hunter’s commitment by funding a quad and a double, which they generously allow Carrum RC to use. Mary Hunter has contributed enormously to her school and local rowing community whilst being a competitive rowing member of Carrum Rowing Club of which she is also the Captain of Boats.

Victorian Annual Awards 2018-2019
The Bob Duncan Award for Outstanding Services to Umpiring.
Bob Duncan is a 1956 Melbourne Olympian and just as importantly, a dedicated, long serving and excellent umpire. He led the improvement in umpiring standards and broke new ground in many aspects of umpiring. This year’s award goes to Rod Florence. Rod has been outstanding this year in his commitment to recruiting, training and mentoring new umpires up to Level 2 status. This has been the highest priority for Rowing Victoria in order to continue delivering safe regattas. Rod has also played a pivotal role in the support of Field of Play and acts as a strong sounding board for the delivery of safe and enjoyable regattas. Rod exemplifies outstanding service to the sport and umpiring.
The Susie Palfreyman Award for contribution to school rowing.
Susie Palfreyman continues to play a significant role in Victorian rowing, having developed a world-class program at MLC, founding the Head of the Schoolgirls Regatta and continuing to support initiatives such as the Hall of Fame event. Susie is a wonderful role model for women who row. The award this year goes to Sandra Barnes. Sandra’s commitment to rowing was reignited when she became a rowing parent. Sandra is the treasurer of the HoSG Committee. Through her skill and energy she has worked to ensure the longevity and reputation of the regatta. Sandra took over as the Event Manager of the HoSG committee in 2016. Her tireless commitment to the HoSG has enabled the regatta to grow. Her attention to detail, her commitment to safety and her ability to engage a range of stakeholders has ensured an amazing experience for all schoolgirls. Sandra has led the strategy of HoSG to financially assist young female rowers who have gone on to make Victorian and Australian teams. It is her enthusiasm, her selfless commitment and her capacity to work tenaciously that make her a worthy recipient of the Susie Palfreyman Award. It is fitting that Sandra rowed in the 1st four that was coached by Susie Palfreyman at the inaugural Head of the Schoolgirls regatta.
