He commented on: (i) The strong financial position of the club, citing considerable effort being put in by John Thompson and Brian Hastings which enabled the club to install its new practice block facility. (ii) The commitment the club placed on improving its grounds and pavilion facilities under a sub-committee led by Brian Hastings.As a result, the standards have lifted considerably and good maintenance projects are in place. (iii) That with proposed legislation changes to the distribution of gaming maching funds the club may have difficulty in sustaining the level of grants it achieved for the 2002 season. iv) The significant growth in the cricket playing area and that the appointment of Garfield Charles had proved to be very good, inclusive of his involvement with the BHS Boys Xl. He further commented that Garfield Charles had already commenced a skill session for the senior squad which would be followed by pre-season training in the weeks preceding the commencment of the 2003 playing season. Enthusiasm from the players was reported as being excellent. (v) The junior section of the club, in particular their playing strength, and thanked Ross Brown for his dedicated commitment to this very important club section. He concluded by saying that he felt the club had "turned the corner" and that he envisaged the playing strength of the club would be turned around quickly, particular/ with the re-structuring of the CCA I st Grade competition. He went on to say that the club would have to see its I st Grade side finish in 3rd place or better to avoid relegation. This was alarming in itself and the Committee was not in agreement with the relegation criteria proposed by the CCA.They felt strongly that there were many more facets to a club which determine overall playing strength and that to lose I st Grade status would have a serious downside for the BWUCC. C Blackman then moved the adoption of the 2002-03 Annual Report and Statement of Financial Position asking P 0 Grady to speak to the financials - Seconded Mark Shackleton Note: Amendment required to Annual Awards/Trophies List (as raised by Derek Cockburn) -W.S MacGibbon (Best all-round Club member) -VJ McKibbin (1947 Memorial-Ballantynes Fire Best Bowling Award - Investment Fund) P OGrady (Treasurer) explained in detail the financial performance of the club in an effort to pre-empt any questions from the floor. He began by thanking C Blackman for his chairmanship of the club over the past twelve months and commented that he believed the committee had worked very well and that this was reflected in the positive financial result. Questions from the floor were invited but due to the in-depth itemised explanations given by the Treasurer, none were forthcoming.

He advised that there is a genuine reluctance for someone to commit to this position and that the Committee was trying to overcome the historical workload placed on this one person by appointing Grade Managers. He felt there were a lot of enthusiastic parents involved with the juniors and if anyone knew of anybody suitable that could be approached with a view to filling this role, they were asked to pass their name(s) to him. 6.2 2004-05 BWUCC Centennarv B Hastings reported that a separate sub-committee would be appointed to plan celebrations for the club's up and coming Centennary. He stressed the importance of this event in the Club's history and advised that new carpet would be replacing the old original one in the pavilion at the end of the 2003-04 season. He envisaged that the official celebrations would take place in either February or March 2005. B Adams suggested that Arthur Grayburn's updated history of the club is utilised and updated for this event. 6.3 Relegation from CCA I st Grade Mens Competition G Cross asked what would happen if the club was relegated - would it struggle for players? B Hastings replied by saying that the club was taking a positive approach by striving to finish in the top three placing's for this coming season. He added further comment by saying that he did hold grave concerns with the new structure, with three of the six teams being based at Hagley Oval which worked against the demographics of growing cricket in the suburbs.
