FITZROY DONCASTER CRICKET CLUB INC. ANNUAL REPORT 2009-2010 FITZROY DONCASTER CRICKET CLUB INC. OFFICE BEARERS CHAIRMAN Mr T V Considine DEPUTY CHAIRMAN Mr M Smith TREASURER Mr F Cahill ADMINISTRATION MANAGER Mr M Turner BOARD MEMBERS Mr T Considine, Mr D Motschall, Mr C Orgill Cricket Victoria Delegates: Messrs. M. Smith, T Considine 1 CHAIRMAN’S REPORT Nine months has passed since the AGM when I was given the honour of becoming chairman of our club. Not only have I learnt a lot from taking on this role but it has also given me a tremendous insight into the challenges that face clubs like ours into the future. It is fair to say that most clubs tend to plan on a year by year basis and it has been no different for us here at Fitzroy Doncaster. This is one area we need to change. It is imperative that we develop a 3 – 5 year strategic plan that will define our direction, purpose and goals. The real benefit here is for the succession planning of Fitzroy Doncaster and assist in the development of position descriptions for as many of the roles within our club as possible. Our aim for Fitzroy Doncaster is to be successful – both on and off the field. Success can be measured in many ways and not just limited to: Premierships Players representing at a higher level Financial Our cricket structure Off field involvement – volunteers and administration Development of cricket in our zone As chairman, it is my role to review the 2009/2010 season in every aspect and report at our 2010 AGM as to what has worked and where we need to improve and change. Our financial position has improved for the second year in a row with a profit in excess of $7,000.00. It was great to see Fitzroy Doncaster finish fifth in the Club Championship, one spot up from the previous season. I’m sure you’d agree that having three teams still chasing a finals position in the last round gave everyone around the club a great buzz. For the seconds and thirds to make the finals – and for the thirds, the second year in a row is commendable. After a terrific first week of the finals, the semi final round was disappointing; however, this should be the stimulus for 2010/2011 to drive us all to go one more week in March. Our first’s and fourth’s should also be using 2009/2010 as incentive to go one step better next season. Thank you to each of the players who captained sides this year; Peter Dickson, James Court, Scott Huntley, Steve Wotherspoon and Phil Lovell for their efforts in leading the teams. To Andrew Walton for his untiring effort in helping structure our club for a successful future – thank you for the time you have put into our players and for Fitzroy Doncaster. Equally we should be thankful of having Ash Cavigan and Phil Lovell as his able assistants. Congratulations to: Lloyd Mash and Glenn Maxwell for their selection for Victoria Peter Dickson for being named in the Premier Cricket team of the year. Kyle Humphries for his award of being the best player in the third XI. Melbourne Cricket Club on winning the 1stXI premiership. Ringwood Cricket Club on winning the Club Championship. Graeme Rummans for winning the Ryder Medal. Our volunteers are crucial to our club’s ongoing success and viability; and as with most Premier clubs suffering from the same challenges, too few doing too much. To Graeme, Ilva, Mitch, Graeme Cook, Greg Vardi, Greg Heatley, Sue Dickson, Gwen McKenzie and all the other parents and friends of the club who 2 have assisted during the season – a heartfelt thanks and you should be aware that your value to the club is immeasurable. To Sam Goodchap for his running of the scoreboard and his role as net captain. If I have missed anyone please accept my apologies. Our Committees – the General Committee, Cricket Committee and Golden Lions are certainly being and are going to be revamped as we are able to recruit key skills to deliver our strategy. Thank you to all the committee members for their time particularly Jeff Harvey coming back to head up the cricket committee and Mitch for taking over the reins of the Golden Lions. Thank you to our sponsors for their financial assistance: Doncaster East and Templestowe Community Bank The Manningham Club Top Line Indoor Sports Hazelwood Hill Austbrokers Countrywide Rinnai Peter McKenzie Caravans And all the other contributors and player sponsors To Maurie Turner a huge thank you for your friendship and advice on how things work within a Premier club and for the time you put into your role. I look forward to seeing you all during the 2010-2011 season. Tim Considine Chairman 3 ADMINISTRATION MANAGER'S REPORT This past season was again successful both financially and on the field. The financial success of our Club would not be possible without the continued support and contribution by our sponsors. We thank again the Doncaster East and Templestowe Community Bank (formally Doncaster East Community Bank), Austbrokers Countrywide, Manningham Club and Rinnai. In addition to the above we must also thank Burdens Plumbing (Victoria) Pty Ltd, D & K Home Security Pty Ltd, Hazelwood & Hill Pty Ltd and Topline Sports for their generosity as new sponsors. We welcome the opportunity to continue the development of these relationships. We thank the player sponsors for their support and the encouragement they give our players. Congratulations to all our players for their performances and achievements throughout the season. I wish to thank those persons who assisted around the Club on training nights and match days with the BBQ’s, scoring and drinks plus all the odd jobs that have to be done to make any club successful on and off the field. A special thank you to Ilva and Graeme Woolard for their hours around the club on game days, your time was very much appreciated. Our main oval was, until the Christmas break, the worst in the Premier competition but with thanks to the council and the efforts of the curator, David Blackley, the ground was improving each week. With the rain and easing of water restrictions it hopeful that we commence next season with better prepared practice wickets and grounds. I am confident that David will do his utmost to ensure that is the case. Good luck for an even better season in 2010/11 Maurie Turner Administration Manager 4 FITZROY DONCASTER CRICKET CLUB INC.
