Elaine was a Life Member of the club and holds the Senior Women’s 100m and 200m records with mes of 11.6 and 23.9 respecvely. She won over 25 State Championships and was the first Tasmanian woman to win an Open Australian Championship, taking out the 400m tle in 1969. Post compeng, she became involved in both coaching and officiang and was appointed as a jumps’ judge at the 1982 Commonwealth Games in Brisbane and as a jumps’ assistant at the World Cup in Canberra in 1985. She was elected as the Deputy President of Athlecs Tasmania following the merger of the men’s and women’s associaons in 1981 and was nominated for the Tasmanian Hall of Fame in 2014. In 2016, she received Athlecs Australia’s Planum Award for 40 years of service to the sport. David Ashcro was an outstanding junior sprinter, who set the club U/18 men’s 100m record with a me of 10.8 and the 200m with 21.5 set in 1983. His 200m record sll stands, with his 100m record only recently broken by Jagga Pybus. David was the grandson of respected Southern Athlec Branch official Lionel Skeggs and the nephew of Club Patron, Murray Bird. He was described by Club Life Member Paul Taranto as “a beauful moving sprinter who always had me for younger athletes.” Elaine McLeod David Ashcro President’s Report The 2019/20 year was a memorable one but unfortunately largely due to the massive disrupon caused by the COVID-19 pandemic that saw the cancellaon of the Naonal Track and Field Championships and the shutdown of the sport for the first half of the 2020 Winter Season. The lack of compeon available has provided an opportunity for reflecon and a chance for injured athletes to rest up without the fear or missing out. The 2019 Winter Season was the first since the rerement of longstanding Winter Compeon Director Peter Keenan. Athlecs South was unable to fill the posion and it was le to a commiee of volunteers to manage the operaons of the season. This they did admirably, with Chris Sullivan administering the introducon of a new ming system that worked smoothly. Clubs were required to take on more responsibility for the seng up of courses each week, including a requirement to tow the trailer to venues as part of Duty Club responsibilies. Thanks to those members who assisted with this process. Our track and field membership remained stable, although it was disappoinng to lose some of our female members. Our men’s team won their third premiership in a row and much credit must go to our Captain Cam Cranfield with assistance from Jarred Gilroy for their efforts in organising relay teams and movang the guys to compete in addional events. Our women’s team was small in number but led by Captain Anne Pullen, was strong in spirit and punched above their weight for most of the season. Despite our best endeavours, we have been unable to recruit new female athletes and this remains a priority for next season. Finding coaches for new athletes was once again a challenge and we are greatly indebted to all of the wonderful people who provide coaching services for our athletes. The Club connues to pay for members to undertake coaching courses, with Anne Pullen and Cam Mann the latest to take advantage of this offer. Our aempts to engage with Lile Athlecs were more successful this year, with a number of athletes helping out with coaching and promoon of the Club at the Queenborough Lile Athlecs Centre. Forging stronger es with the laer is a logical move that will hopefully see more lile athletes making the transion through to senior ranks. It was pleasing to return a modest surplus for the year, thanks largely to the efforts of Cam Cranfield in organising a Bunning’s BBQ and Caleb Gardner for arranging a salmon fundraiser. Although we are in a sound financial posion, we cannot connue the trend in recent years of eang into our reserves. With declining interest rates, the need to fundraise will become even greater for the foreseeable future. Finally, I express my thanks the Club Commiee for their efforts over the past year. It is due to the contribuons of all our volunteers that our club remains strong as it closes in on 100 years of existence. Daniel Smee – President Treasurer’s Report The club’s finances for 2019/20 improved for the first time in many years through fundraising from salmon, Bunnings BBQ, and wine sales. This created a cash surplus for the year of $2,413. Fundraising remains an important need going forward because (i) no income is received from memberships; (ii) recurrent costs like association fees are increasing, and (iii) interest income from cash reserves is decreasing as fixed term account rates have declined. Based on the financial outcome for 2019/20, the club needs to continue to target around $2,500 net from fundraising each year. Uniform expenditure exceeded sales over the year so that the club accumulated extra stock (although noting the same pattern has been seen in previous years so this expenditure is not necessarily recovered). A write down of non-current asset values by 25% (from $8,000 to $6,000) was applied. This asset value includes uniforms and equipment. Due to the large number of low value items involved, it is difficult to quantify non-cash asset values and this hasn’t been adjusted for several years. The surplus for this year enabled the prudent step of reducing this value. Finally, the club aspires to be able to support and help develop athletes with financial support being part of this goal. This year we provided $300 of support towards travel and registration costs, which coincidentally matched the sum provided through a generous donation. Continued fundraising and efforts towards cost control will allow the club to expand our activities in developing the sport and supporting the people participating.

Whilst we had good numbers participating each week, we lacked the spread of athletes across all age groups required to maximise point scoring.

Anne Pullen was not far behind, winning the AS O/40 Cross Country Championship and placing second in the Road Championship. Ruby Smee was in excellent form before departing for the US in August, winning the coveted Max Cherry Memorial race and finishing second in the State Open Road titles. Anita McGinniss capped off a fine season with a win in the State Open Cross-Country titles and first place in the Athletics South Road Championship. Elaine Marquardt finished third in the Handicap Award, with Jemina Stuart-Smith fifth after putting together a most consistent season. Chris Sullivan was the standout for the men, winning the Open Cross-Country Championship, finishing second in the Road Championship and third in the Athlete of the Season Award. Robbie Neill won the 8.6km event at Grove and went on to run 2:29.54 in the Melbourne Marathon, setting a new M35 record in the process.
