Nice job. The Board and the executive team are proud to work with you, to help you build your Club and create your own distinctive culture. Again, as in 2016, I enjoyed many CNSW events around the State – club criteriums, country opens, Masters’ State Championships and club social rides. Each has its own unique appeal and flavor and without showing any preference at all, I do look forward to racing ‘Gunnedah to Tamworth’ again in 2018! YEAR IN REVIEW 2017 saw continued progress towards our vision of establishing Cycling NSW as the peak body for cycling in NSW, not just the sport of cycling. Apart from setting a new peak in membership, other highlights from 2017 include: The NSW State Government formally recognizing the principles we laid out in our 2017 ‘Memorandum of Understanding’, namely: • a joint commitment on improving road riding safety; • attracting major global cycling events to NSW; • improving cycling infrastructure; and • ensuring access to roads. • Cycling NSW partnership with Bathurst Regional Council, the ‘B2B’ reaching new heights and a record field, leading to UCI World Grand Fondo Championship qualifying status • Concrete progress towards creating a sustainable ownership of the Dunc Gray Velodrome and a major refurbishment program • Continued success of women’s recreational ride events (#FIVE100 challenge) and growth in female membership numbers • Engagement with Clubs to develop a new race event categorisation and sanctioning model, to accommodate changing rider trends and improve the service to riders in County Opens • NSW riders of all categories, who competed at National Championships, combining to win the Norm Gailey Trophy for the Champion State for third year in succession and five years in six • World Championship performances from NSW riders’ Nick Yallouris and Amanda Reid • Rochelle Gilmore inducted into the NSW Sports Hall of Fame and Brad McGee and Julie Speight joining the Cycling Australia Hall of Fame • Garry Pemberton & Terry Matheson receiving the Cycling Australia Medal of Merit for their outstanding service to cycling. Garry’s passing this year was a very sad day for CNSW indeed LOOKING AHEAD 2018 has seen a change in key cycling leadership positions, with new CEOs at Cycling Australia, Cycling Victoria and Cycling NSW. This situation presents a tremendous opportunity, for the new leaders to build on the strong financial and governance foundations, established by their predecessors and focus on improved member services, greater levels of sponsorship and a stronger domestic elite racing program. Cycling NSW is // FINANCIAL // REPORT YEARBOOK CHAMPIONSHIPS // STATE // especially looking forward to: • Providing the NSW State Government good reason to deliver on the four agendas mentioned above, • Bedding down the new race categorisation and sanctioning model, • Making the B2B the safest and best managed cyclo-sportif experience in NSW, and • Continuing our investment in junior and female rider development, while supporting State team participation at National events GOVERNANCE INTRODUCTION AND REPORTS Cycling NSW continues to enjoy a strong balance sheet and maintain a small annual profit. Your Board has continued to balance the risk and return of investment proposals, with the interests of all Cycling NSW members at the forefront. It is anticipated, that during 2018, propositions will be made to the Cycling NSW Board regarding uniting the States and various cycling disciplines. In considering these matters, the Board will continue to engage our members and act in the best interest of all members. THANK YOU Thank you and congratulations to those who stepped into Club leadership positions in 2017 and a warm and heartfelt thank you to those who are stepping back after years of dedicated service. Thank you also to the large number of volunteers - commissaires, coaches, event support staff, handicappers and our commission & committee members - who gave up their precious personal time in 2017, to allow Cycling NSW to function. Without your combined passion, tolerance and continued resilience, we would simply not exist. Thank you to Phil Ayres and his hard-working team for stepping up again in 2017. Phil’s five-year tenure with Cycling NSW, gave us the benefit of his experience as a sports administrator. While Phil may have never ridden the boards of Dunc Gray, he has left a legacy that includes the setting up of an independent Disciplinary Committee, a modernised set of financial management accounts and an organised and consistent approach to governance. Finally, thank you to the Cycling NSW Board members, who have each provided me with their personal support and expert guidance throughout 2017.
