An association made great only by the dedication and loyalty of such a fine group of people who make up the volunteers and staff of Brisbane Women’s Hockey. It would be unfair to single out any particular person for special mention as the various reports on the following pages speak for themselves. It is comforting to see such camaraderie, and mate ship developing within our subcommittees and the sense of service displayed by our staff and members. There are many reasons for all of us to feel extremely proud of our association. It is obvious that BWHA is not just a sporting group and with this in mind we have agreed to assist a local community group in 2003, The Riverside Quilters Group. This group makes quilts to support terminally ill children at our local Royal Children’s Hospital. This goes to prove that we are a service organisation in more ways than one. But it is more than that. It is teamwork. Teamwork, with exceptional leadership provided by our committee members, that has made BWHA a leading association in our sport. Many would agree the words of Lisa Carruthers, member of Australian Women’s Hockey Team, 1996 Atlanta, “and the journey is the reward.” In the last year, some of the our achievements have been: Installation and upgrade of computers for our office Launch of our web site - bwha.com.au Winning all bar two State Championships The continued maintenance of three major parks in Brisbane Management of one of the largest single gender associations in Australia The receival of grant monies to appoint a development officer Growth in numbers of junior and senior hockey players Successful hosting the U11 Southern Cross Significant contribution to the growing Southern Skies School Hockey Tournament Establishing the inaugural structured Southern Cross Hockey Committee with ‘voted in’ office bearers from all member associations The sharing of a $600,000 facilities development grant for Downey Park for 2002 and a further shared $600,000 for the continuing upgrade, which commenced October 2002. With an impressive list like that you would think that we were a corporation. With financial year-end results just to hand I can report that we have had another exceptional year. The year commenced with a commitment by Management to only increase fees by the GST component, the numbers looked tight. The additional $20 for an umpiring levy, aided our new project. The Umpires Club started a program for turf umpiring development. There is no doubt this was an added cost, however, the draw card was if a player completed their umpiring obligations then a refund was assured. The umpiring plan looks set to continue and build from this base to expand in 2003. With the completion of the upgrade of fields 8,11,12, 2 and 6 and the commencement in October of this year on fields 1 and 9 and March 2003 fields 4 and 5 popularly known as the “Cabbage Patch”. We now have a solid foundation to take full advantage of this for the 2003 season and our 70 th birthday year. Thank you to the Queensland Amateur Women’s Sports Council, Thelma Crouch and the Brisbane City Council, Maureen Hayes for their assistance with the upgrading of our park and the continued support and appreciation of what Downey Park means to so many. We are extremely excited to be hosting the State U13 Championships in June 2003, with planning meetings already well underway.
