52nd Annual Report & Financial Statement 2008/09 Season Manly Warringah Junior Cricket Assoc Inc Manly Warringah Junior Cricket Association 2008/09 Association Committee Chairman Rob McKenna Vice President Gary Chester Secretary Diana Pecar Assistant Secretary Vicki Carden Treasurer Danielle Simpson Representative Chairman Geoff Mee Club Representatives Beacon Hill Rob McKenna Collaroy Plateau Vicki Carden Cromer Matt Holland Forest Frank Peake Harbord Devils Graeme White Peninsula Paul Johnson Seaforth Ron Watkins St Augustines James Scholtens St Pius X Michael Simpson Wakehurst Ross Denny Life Members Bob Lind Michael Pawley Tony Pecar David Quarford Bob Rollins Peter Tasker Ron Watkins President’s Report Welcome to the 2008/09 52nd Annual Report for the Manly Warringah Junior Cricket Association Incorporated. As president I welcome you to read this report. The 2008/09 season was my first as president of ‘your’ association, having taken over from Tony Pecar. I refer the association as “yours” as it belongs to the players, parents, coaches, managers, friends, supporters and the 10 clubs that compete in the Saturday morning competition. You are the association. In June 2008 the Association was confronted with the discovery that our financial funds had allegedly been misappropriated. With the new season only a matter of weeks away, it was discovered we were left with little if any money in our accounts. To compound this we still had outstanding debts to settle. With the help and support of the committee, clubs, Warringah Shires, the Manly Warringah District Cricket Club and NSW Cricket we managed to work through our issues and are now back on our track financially. This season, 105 teams took part in the Saturday morning competition. In addition to this there were 22 kanga teams. ‘In 2 cricket’ was launched and replaced ‘Have-a-Go’ this season and was run by Wakehurst, Cromer and Collaroy. The numbers of boys and girls that attended were outstanding which leaves the association in a good position for players in future seasons. Our representative season was of mixed fortunes. Apart from the U15 Weblin Shield team, no other teams made it through to the semis. The U15’s had an excellent season making it through to the final against Penrith at Emu Plains. Although we did not win, the team did their best and represented the association in the spirit that we are renowned for. Just when he thought he had retired, a special thanks must go to Geoff Mee for stepping in and performing the role of Representative Chairperson. Without you Geoff and the other representative committee members the representative season would not have happened for Manly Warringah. We continue to lobby the three councils whose playing fields we use for better facilities. Unfortunately with the over-use the fields suffer from due to the winter sports we continue to make do with what we have. Until further open spaces for sports are acquired by councils, the situation will not improve. I would like to thank the following association sponsors: Mike Pawley’s Sports Warehouse, Manly Rentals and the Manly Warringah Coaching School. With the financial hardship we were confronted with this season your generosity will never be forgotten. Additional sponsors are always welcome to assist in the high costs of running the association. The Association Committee (Secretary, Assistant Secretary and Treasurer) have done an exceptional job this season considering the circumstances we were faced with. The club delegates again have provided such valuable input and support (the healthy debates at meetings, ending in late nights). With such support it has made my job much easier and it has been a pleasure to perform the role of president. The conclusion of season 2008/09 marks the end of junior cricket for some players and families. I wish you well in your future sporting endeavours, be it in cricket or another code. It is hoped that the memories of your junior cricket days will be fond ones, which will live with you forever. I congratulate all teams for the manner in which you played season 2008/09. For teams who won premierships and players who won individual awards, well done. Best wishes and looking forward to a successful 2009/10 season. Rob McKenna Secretary’s Report I took over the role of Secretary in July 2008 and began the process of gathering information for the fraud case against MWJCA. This is ongoing. During the year I have: • Tried to gather as much history of the Association as possible, including Minutes of Meetings, Association Records, and History of Winning Teams. • Incorporated the Association. • Drafted a new Constitution and had it approved. • Set up new Bank accounts for the Association and worked with Danielle Simpson, the Treasurer, to get processes in place. • Put together a comprehensive Annual Report which includes details of all Saturday morning competitions, representative team reports, records, winning teams etc. • Set up and maintained the Member database. On behalf of MWJCA and all players, I take this opportunity to thanks Vicki Carden for taking on the role of Competition Secretary for the season, and also to Danielle Simpson for taking on the Treasurer’s responsibilities. I wish the Association all the best for the future.
