Debbie O’Carroll I would like to thank the members of the SMC for their time and valuable contributions over the past year. I would encourage all coaches and clubs to continually provide feedback to SMC members, particularly those clubs in regional areas, who have 2 SMC representatives specifically from regional areas.

I also wish to thank the Gymnastics Qld staff, particularly WAG Sport Manager, Kate Cannon, CEO Kym Dowdell, and Events Director Joann Aitken, for their support and assistance throughout the year.

Equipment/Apparatus Standards In 2012, the SMC introduced detailed Apparatus Standards for all sanctioned events. The standards varied Larrissa Miller for each level group (eg 1-3, 4-5, 6-10) based on the level of skills performed. Whilst it was a lengthy 2012 Olympian process and required some venues to upgrade/modify their equipment, it was necessary. It will also ensure more standardised apparatus are provided at all events around the State. These apparatus standards will continue to be monitored and changed if required.

State Squad The State Squad program was reintroduced in 2012, primarily in the format of clinics following Junior State Championships and Qld Clubs. There was also a coach’s clinic for Level 7-10 coaches in February.

We need to build on what has been completed in 2012 and further develop the program for 2013 and beyond to include selection of gymnasts and regional visits to clubs.

2012 Olympic Games Congratulations to our Qld High Performance Centre gymnast, Larrissa Miller, on her selection and performance at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. This is an outstanding achievement for Larrissa and the WAG community should be very proud that Queensland has produced another Olympian. Congratulations to Larrissa’s coaches Vladimir and Irina Joura.

Moving Ahead to 2013 & Beyond If our sport is to continue to grow and achieve successful competitive outcomes, we need greater participation from a greater number of clubs throughout the State.

The SMC is investigating variations to competition formats to allow more clubs to host sanctioned events and levels tests. This will in turn provide more competition opportunities for more gymnasts and clubs, particularly in regional areas.

Education Gymnastics Queensland released the 2012 RG Level 1-6 package and to date have only had positive feedback. The comprehensive package includes set music, text and video. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Edith Peluso, Anya Tabolkina and Gina Peluso for their hard work in preparing and presenting this package to the community.

Workshops were conducted throughout the year to educate coaches, judges and athletes.

2012 Wrap-Up 2012 proved to be an interesting year for Rhythmic Gymnasts in Queensland.

All of our Trials and State Championships were run and hosted by the RG community and proved extremely successful events. Host Clubs were Moreton Bay College Gymnastics, Splitz Gym and Logan City PCYC (Club Toriana), with all clubs offering a fun experience for gymnasts, coaches, judges and spectators.

RG also held its inaugural Levels 1-6 and RGSkools events. These events ran smoothly and the numbers in each level were high considering this was the first year. They were attended by a large number of spectators and I feel these numbers will be much higher in 2013.

Our Level 7-10, International and Groups Trial and State events were again a success. With 2012 being an Olympic year not many of our gymnasts travelled throughout the year. We all watched with anticipation the Rhythmic event and were impressed with the Russian gymnasts and their beautiful routines. All our gymnasts have been working hard to improve on their routines and scores for 2013.

Looking Forward 2013 brings new beginnings within the sport with the new code of points being released. With this brings new judges courses which everyone must attend to update and new routine choreography which will no doubt be a challenge for both gymnasts, coaches and judges. I wish everyone best of luck for the beginning of the new cycle in the sport. 36 Gymnastics Queensland 2012 Annual Report 37

Anita Hobson Powell Acting Treasurer

I am pleased to report that in 2012 Gymnastics Queensland has returned an operating surplus of $89, 430 to further consolidate our financial position and to increase Retained Earnings up to the value of $846, 000. YMCA Acacia Ridge Gymnastics Club Coaches at YMCA Enoggera Gymnastics Club While the 2010 and 2011 years predominantly saw a focus on “repairing the balance sheet” and “establishing reserves”, 2012 while maintaining strong financial controls, set about focusing financial priorities on strengthening the business operations of the organisation through :

• funding strategic initiatives • critically reviewing / auditing all expenses and processes of the Association • reviewing all pricing of services provided by Gymnastics Queensland and • improving services provided to the members of Gymnastics Queensland

This was able to be achieved by ensuring costs to members were kept stable with Total Revenue being $2.95 million ($46K less than 2011 figures), with particular emphasis being placed on Club Affiliation fees, where no increase was applied to the Flat Fee Schedule for 2012.

We are extremely grateful for the partnership with the Queensland Government through the departments of Sport and Recreation Queensland and Queensland Academy of Sport for their continued financial support. Gymnastics Queensland maintained its funding for 2013, which was received and recorded as “Unearned Income” in the books as at 31 December 2012. YMCA Bowen Hills Gymnastics Club Larrissa Miller and Dignitaries with the kids at YMCA Redlands Gymnastics Club We would also like to thank Gymnastics Australia for their continued financial and structural support in the development of the High Performance program in Queensland.

CASH FLOWS FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES Purchase of property, plant and equipment (34,993) (92,926) The following significant accounting policies, which are consistent with the previous period unless otherwise stated, have been adopted in the preparation of this financial report. Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities (34,993) (92,926) CASH FLOWS FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES a. Income Tax Repayment of secured loans (14,811) 38,267 No provision for income tax has been raised as the Association operates solely as a non-profit, sporting organisation and accordingly is exempt from income tax under Section 50-10 of the Income Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities (14,811) 38,267 Tax Assessment Act 1997. Net increase/(decrease) in cash held 207,068 478,934 b.

All assets are depreciated on a diminishing value basis over their useful lives to the Association.

Depreciation The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives to the Association commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains or losses are included in the income statement. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained profits.

c. Impairment of Assets At the end of each reporting period, the association reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of comprehensive income.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the association estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

d. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at-call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position.

e. Revenue Revenue is recognised when invoices are raised.

Interest revenue is recognised when received.

Distribution revenue is recognised when the right to receive a distribution has been established.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
