NSW SUBURBAN RUGBY UNION

2018 ANNUAL REPORT Chairman’s Report

This is my first Chairman’s Report since succeeding I am pleased to say that we accomplished this while our previous Chairman Paul Timmins and I take this still increasing our reserves. That is an enormous opportunity to thank him for his strong leadership and achievement in the current rugby environment and the legacy he leaves Subbies. congratulations to our Treasurer and Executive Director Despite so much anxiety surrounding the game of rugby and the Board for achieving that result. at the moment, our Union in 2018 remains a well run I am also pleased to note the increase again in our and healthy organisation. Colts numbers, with 32 colts teams competing across In Subbies, our on field player numbers resulted in 174 four competitions, we have recorded the most teams competing each week, maintaining our numbers number of U21 players ever in Suburban Rugby. Once in the face of strong competition from other sports and again, an enormous achievement in the current rugby social pressure. environment and well done to all those clubs for embracing the Colts competitions. Off field, our administration – our paid staff of one, in our Executive Director Tim Richards and our army of I congratulate all participating clubs and implore all clubs club volunteers - continue to deliver results that are to drive your colts numbers. Colts aged players are the unsurpassed in rugby circles. Financially we remain in future of your club, the start of your club premierships a strong position, with members’ equity at an all-time and indeed the lifeblood of the game itself. high.

However the Suburban Board is determined to keep a The outcry over the imposition of NSW Rugby’s State firm handle on our strategic goals. I thank all my fellow Levy was heard loud and clear.

The Board listened carefully to the feedback invited from Financially, we continue to carefully protect our clubs at the mid-season divisional meetings.

Nor did we renew the normal six month contract with There were a number of areas where it was felt NSW our competition administrator, again to save money, but rugby could do more to help clubs – Let me briefly adding to the workload of our Executive Director. outline the 10 points that were presented: The Union’s motor vehicle has been dispensed with and significant reductions in office costs have been realised. In total, over $85K of expenses were stripped from our bottom line. These tough decisions allowed us to cover on all our clubs’ behalf the new impost of the state levy, at a cost of approximately $50K. I note this amount is in addition to Rugby Australia’s National Participation Fee, paid by clubs and distributed to NSW Rugby, taking Suburban’s financial contribution to the State Union to over $180K in 2018 alone. Our financial position also allowed us to continue to invest heavily in our partnership with Fusesport, forging ahead with a ground breaking and well received competition management tool that allows our volunteers to work smarter, not harder. 2 1.

John Morrison Not all will get done. NSW Rugby has a number of Chairman affiliates and not all share the same concerns and priorities. But I can assure you the Suburban Board is, and will remain, a strong advocate on your behalf. There are, of course, things we can and must do for ourselves. A priority for the Board will be improving player, spectator and club behaviour – on and off the field. The time is long well past when boorish sideline behaviour can or will be tolerated. The Union will also be setting up a mentoring program for clubs to help them deal with discipline and administrative problems. And holding clubs accountable for the behaviour of players and spectators. We will also be promoting and encouraging Suburban Rugby to embrace Women’s 7s Rugby. Like colts, it too can be a road to growth for your club. 3 Office Bearers Patron: Div 2 Rep: Appeals Tribunal: Dan Moore Dylan Schofield (Beecroft) Richard Harvey (Chairman) Life Members: Div 3 Rep: Paul Angus Phil Brown Michael McGowan (Barker OBs) Phil Brown Mark Groom (Appointed 19/3/18) Matthew Payne Brent Halligan Div 4 Rep: Philip Sutherland Damian Henry Angus Bruxner (Sydney Harlequins) Alan Jones Div 5/6 Rep: Integrity Committee Graeme Kennan Laura Sturrock (Merrylands) Graham Gorrie (Officer) Mick Kennedy (Appointed 19/2/18) Deb Coulthard Dan Moore Ordinary Members: Tim Waddell Rick Morris Geoff Granger (Drummoyne) Ivan Yau Gary Patterson Wayne Ryan (Epping) NSW Rugby General Manager, Ian Ross Judiciary: Community & Participation: Board Members: Mark Groom (Chairman) Mark Green President: Pat Barrett (Deputy Chairman) Premiership Competition Chris Moloney (Blue Mountains) Sam Atkinson Manager: Chairman: Deb Coulthard Kerry Brady John Morrison (UNSW) Tim Litherland Treasurer: Craig Moran Juniors Competition Manager: Graham Short (Terrey Hills) John Sciberras Adrian Larson Executive Director: Jim Smith Juniors Competition Tim Richards Ken Stanton Administrator: Div 1 Rep: Ross Stewart Susan Stenning Michael Flude (Mosman) Ivan Yau
