I would like to extend a warm welcome to Baden Sharp who has recently taken over the role as Executive Officer. Suffice to say he has a challenging job ahead of him in the next few months as he tries to find his feet whilst addressing a number of time critical responsibilities as the new season approaches. Hockey in the Northern Territory celebrated its’ 60th birthday last year. Well done to Doreen and her team at DHA for putting on a fitting celebration for our sport. As I looked back over the official testimonials from the 50 th anniversary of hockey in Darwin, I was reminded of all the inspirational individuals who made significant contributions to hockey in the formative years. It is appropriate from time to time to engage in mature reflection in regards to how our sport came into being in the Northern Territory, and its evolutionary processes in getting to where we are today. That said, it is also proper to reflect upon where the sport is currently positioned, and to hypothesise about where it will be placed for the next generation of players as we look to the future growth of hockey in the Northern Territory. Any cursory perusal of the historical records indicates that those who forged the foundations of the sport in Darwin in order to get us to where we are today had positive visions that helped to put in place facilities that we now have which are on par with any in the country. These facilities have enhanced the skills and competitiveness of our players exponentially, providing a genuine pathway opportunity to the highest level for those that aspire to it. Commensurate with the size of our player base, from a representative perspective we are punching well above our fighting weight. In the past 12 months we have had 2 players in the Australian Men’s team, one player in the Australian Women’s team, 2 players in the Australian Men’s Junior World Cup team and one player in the Australian Women’s Junior World Cup team. These achievements are outstanding having regard for the size of our jurisdiction and are testament to our robust development pathway that we have been refining over many years. To think that we have had an Olympic medallist from the Northern Territory at every Olympics since 1996. As proud as we all should be of these kinds of achievements we should be under no illusion where our sport is currently positioned. These are financially difficult times and the news as to the current state of play is not all beer and skittles. In recent years the Gove Hockey Association has in effect folded at in the context of proper field hockey is currently defunct. The Alice Springs competition continues only because of the untiring efforts of a few individuals who have dedicated their time and experience for many years on a continuous basis to ensure the competition remains viable. Their tenures can not NT Hockey - 2009 Annual Report Page 9 continue forever, as even the most dedicated must finally take their leave. I worry if there are a new generation of individuals who are prepared to step up and ensure the sport continues in Alice Springs as it does today. Whilst the competition here in Darwin is currently healthy and viable and has significant opportunity for growth and expansion as the Palmerston sporting precinct comes online, I proffer that the Darwin competition also only survives as it does thanks to the efforts of a few dedicated individuals who also continue to give their time freely to ensure this is the case. It appears those that are prepared to step up and contribute are largely the same year in and year out and their number are few as compared to those who only take from the sport and contribute little other than criticism and negativity. Unless more people are prepared to assist in the management and development of the sport the opportunities on offer will go begging.

  • GDHC Red Rag May 2016
    MAY, 2016 GLEBE DISTRICT HOCKEY CLUB THE RED RAG A Champion Club, A Club of Champions President Report I reported last year in our August Red Rag, the following: “As reported in the April Red Rag, the club has been asked to look at our current management structures/constitution. I advised then that the process was underway and I can confirm that this is still the case. We should be able to review the changes for recommendation at the final management committee meeting of the year in October, to then have as an agenda item on this year’s AGM (December). I look forward to getting this across the line.” Well, a few things got in the way of that process, but we are now working towards definitely restructuring the club’s management for consideration at this year’s AGM. There will be no real change to the operations of the club in terms of the management positions in place, rather, the primary change is the reduction in the numbers of the people that make up the management committee. At present, the club’s constitution allows for 13 people on the management committee – we will be looking to reduce that number to around 6 or 7 for better efficiencies, with those moving off the management committee, in general terms, simply reporting in to the new committee members. This is in line with other clubs and other sporting bodies and will enable our committee at its meetings to look at more significant issues rather than many of the day to day operational issues of the club which occurs now.

  • NMMU Bio and Achievements
    The Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (NMMU ) choir, formerly University of Port Elizabeth (UPE) choir, consists of 55 members, both students and alumni, who come from different walks of life. The choir prides itself in being multi-cultural in both membership and the music it performs. Since its inception in 1994 the choir has gained a reputation for its unique ability to successfully interpret both Western and African repertoire and has since become sought after at choral festivals internationally. Between 1994 and 2004, this acclaimed multi-cultural choir enjoyed numerous national and international invitations and successes, performing before President Nelson Mandela, Queen Elizabeth II and participating in the FICU International University Choir Festival, Valencia (Spain), the Centennial Celebrations of Philippines and the Voices International Choir Festival in Trondheim (Norway). In 2000 the Choir featured in a film based on the life of Nelson Mandela commissioned by Norway and filmed on Robben Island. In 2007 the NMMU Choir performed in Jacksonville, Florida (a Port Elizabeth sister city) as well as with Chicago Children’s Choir and the Lyric Opera Orchestra at the Civic Theatre, Chicago, for the world premiere of Windy City Songs by South African composer Péter Louis van Dijk. They also performed at the Ravinia Festival (Chicago) and in Hyde Park (New York State). In 2008 the choir performed Vivaldi’s Gloria and Van Dijk’s Windy City Songs with both the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra (Cape Town) and the Eastern Cape Philharmonic Orchestra (Port Elizabeth) under the baton of Péter Louis van Dijk. The choir won the 2009 choir competition in Spittal-an-der-Drau, Austria and was highly acclaimed by all who attended.
