The women’s 1st XI was also successful by finishing in the finals and winning the T20 competition. The club hosted several excellent and profitable functions including Maddie’s Shield, a women’s Big Bash match, a President’s Lunch and the Stonnington Gift. The club also hosted a successful match between the Vanuatu National men’s team and Prahran past players at Toorak Park. The club’s financial position is now relatively strong with retained earnings and cash holdings, although the continuing challenge will be to generate further sustainable revenue sources. We are very appreciative of the time, expertise and resources from coaches, committee persons and office bearers, sponsors, supporters and our invaluable volunteers. Good luck to the incoming President and committee and success to all teams in the 2017/18 season. John Salter. The Vanuatu National team and coaches with Prahran CC past players including Barry Nievandt, Peter Grant, Paul Sealey, Chris Rogers, Neil Schlittler, Chris Garcia, Brad Niemann, Chris Clarke, Dave McLeod, Callum Appleyard, Sam Coates and 12th man, Brett Wilcox Page 8 Prahran Cricket Club (Incorporated) 138th Annual Report and Financial Statement ADMINISTRATION MANAGER'S REPORT The cricket season came and went far too quickly. There were various challenges that had to be overcome during that time however it was fantastic to see the three lower XI’s and the women’s P1 team participate in the finals. Some other highlights during the season were: The inaugural Maddie’s Shield match between the women’s P1 team vs Box Hill on the 14th December. A sub-committee worked on this event for several months which culminated in a fantastic T20 game under lights at Toorak Park. A huge amount of work went into making the event a success and a big thank you to Maddie Riewoldt’s Vision CEO Nicky Long’s team, our players who volunteered on the day and Lyndal Warne for her enormous effort managing the BBQ. Despite the very cool night for December, we managed to raise much needed funds to go towards Maddie’s Vision which was established to fund medical research into finding a cure for Bone Marrow Failure syndromes. Another successful Christmas Drive for Prahran Mission – thank you to players, parents, committee and supporters who donated goods and toys for Christmas hampers provided to under-privileged families in the Stonnington area. The WBBL game between the Melbourne Stars and Perth Scorchers held at Toorak Park on the 5th January. Another huge effort put in by a small band of volunteers from the club. The women’s P1 Twenty20 Final between Prahran and Box Hill held at the Bill Lawry Oval on Saturday, 4th February which saw our girls win the premiership. The President’s Lunch held on Sunday, 12th February where over 90 people attended at Toorak Park. It was great to see many ex-players there and everyone was treated to hilarious entertainment from Andrew Startin. Thanks to Angela Rogers, Leanne Wilcox, Jenny Salter and Gayle Howard for volunteering to provide a delicious 2 course lunch. Various social activities successfully run by the players such as the i-pod shuffle and reverse draw events. End of season presentation night held at the Bentleigh RSL on the 21st April which was well supported with over 90 past and present players, parents, committee and supporters attending. Another major event was the 7th annual running of the Stonnington Gift held at Toorak Park on the 17th February 2017. The weather was reasonable and a very good size crowd attended. Some of the country’s finest athletes attended and for the first time, from the semi-finals onwards, the event was live streamed in addition to live broadcast and replays on the scoreboard at Toorak Park. Page 9 Prahran Cricket Club (Incorporated) 138th Annual Report and Financial Statement Now widely regarded as the next best athletic event in Victoria only behind the Stawell Gift, a special thanks to the Organising Committee which included: Chairman – (Sir) Peter Norman Secretary – Phil Williamson Victorian Athletics League Liaison – Andrew Muhlhan Event Organisation – John Zarb Grant Smethurst (City of Stonnington) Michael Costello / John Stewart (Video Production) In addition, thank you to all the players, officials and coaches that assisted. We were witness to another outstanding contribution from the Warne family led by Lyndal Warne who ran and worked on the BBQ for the entire night. This successful event resulted in a contribution close to $20,000 towards the club.
