This year’s many accomplishments adds to our rich 114 year history of 161 premierships across all grades, 28 First Grade premierships - more than any other club - 254 Qld representatives including 26 Captains, 4 Australian Club Champions and we have had 87 Australian representatives across men’s and women’s including 13 National Team Captains. We acknowledge and commend; Our expanding activities and continued successes built on the work done by our selfless and hardworking players, volunteers and staff, along with the continued generous support and goodwill of our members, supporters and our local community. The Board for their tireless efforts throughout 2019. They continue to ‘walk the talk” and contribute to building on our governance policies, financial sustainability and enhanced operational practices. I would especially like to extend a special appreciation to departing Board Members Helen Negri and Andrew Brodie for their outstanding efforts over the past 2 and 4 years respectively. Although stepping down from the Board, Andrew and Helen will continue to be engaged with the club in various capacities. Our many business partners and sponsors for their continued loyalty and generous support. Without this support we would not be able to provide the numerous sporting programs that make our club a leader within the Brisbane competition. In particular; I would like to thank Dwight and Tonja Ferguson - Ray White Ascot, Faran Gouldson, - Gouldson Legal, Rohrig Group, Chubb, FIIG, BOQ Albany Creek and Hyundai who have all made significant contributions throughout the year. We have over 30 partners and although there are too many to name individually, we sincerely appreciate you all and look forward to working with you all again in 2020. The Club’s Strategic Plan and the business plans that support each of the Three Pillars; Sporting, Economic & Community. These practical and measurable plans continue to provide the guiding path for all of the Club’s subcommittees and major event committees. It is every chairpersons goal to ensure that we work diligently to consolidate and build on our past achievements, while continuing to fine-tune these plans to ensure that our strategies and action plans remain relevant and achievable. That we now have 35 Life Members, 783 Volunteer Members and 298 Financial Members. It is our intention with your help to increase the number of Supporter Members by introducing a simpler online membership portal for renewal of 2020 memberships. The hard work of the Touch Committee lead by Touch Coordinator, Jodie Clarke & Carla Clayton. Their sterling efforts continue to contribute to the growth of all of our Senior and Junior Touch programs with more than 1200 players now registered, representing an increase of >15% on 2018. Our Club Secretary Graeme Linklater for his leadership and consistent endeavors to improve our Board governance and operating procedures and for his significant efforts in compiling, with the assistance of Anthony McDermott, the Club’s Annual Report. The tireless efforts of our newly appointed Rugby Programs Coordinator, Manuel Cole-Manolis.
