Appendix Financial Statement – Year ending 30 th September 2006. 4 BWHA 2006 Annual Report PRESIDENT’S REPORT After much deliberation and some considerable encouragement I decided to stand for the position of President of BWHA late last year. Lisa-Maree Jones, the incumbent President, could not guarantee her availability at the necessary level to hold the President’s position in 2006. Lisa has remained on management in the position of Vice-President to assist and pass on the valuable information that she has acquired in her two years as President, which has been much appreciated by me. When making my decision I needed to take into careful consideration the roles I already hold with Hockey Queensland as well as my work and home life. I have long been a playing member of BWHA and have held other volunteer positions in the past. Taking on the role of President was a major step not to be taken lightly. Having taken on the role, my first year has involved watching and listening to understand the workings of BWHA. It is evident from the steady growth and development over the years that BWHA has been governed in a professional manner and I needed to understand the workings before being able to offer constructive ways to enhance the association. Much of the planning was already completed for 2006 when I took over the President’s role. This has allowed me the opportunity to watch this large and vibrant association cater for its members. I have asked many questions, offered suggestions for improvement and met many wonderful volunteers in the process. 2006 has by no means been an easy year. Two BWHA staff members left at the beginning of the year (just prior to the commencement of fixtures). We are caught in the midst of a severe drought affecting the quality of the fields at Downey Park, despite the efforts of our Grounds Committee. Using the majority of the 12.30pm game timeslots at Downey Park for junior games also left some seniors disgruntled. A fifth division was added to the turf, although the anticipated Redcliffe turf was not online during the season. The condition of the playing surface of field 2 at the State Hockey Centre was a constant source of complaint, but the alternative of changing turf games to grass was not supported by the membership. We held two members’ forums towards the end of the season, to discuss issues identified at Council that affected the association and our members. We are now working during the off-season to ensure our governance is more clearly documented and communicated. The first area to be addressed is the criterion for positions, expanding on the roles listed in the By-Laws and giving members, nominees and appointers better guidelines to ensure the best possible people fill every role required by BWHA. We are also building on the past work of Lisa and Mary Cockings in continuing to update our financial procedures in line with legal requirements and fully developing our financial planning for the future. It must be said that I now have a greater appreciation for the whole picture, the worth of our unsung heroes, the volunteers at all levels.
