A summary of the Clubs achievements this past season follows: On Field: Premiers: U18s, Runners up U16C, Semi Finalists D Turf, G Turf, LOC3,Veterans Gold & Veterans Green, Under 16A , Under12A, Junior U16 T20 Premiers Facilities: The Committee has continued to work with the City of Whitehorse and Surrey Park Lacrosse Club on the redevelopment proposals for Mont Albert Reserve, Peter Knox, Paul Devine and Rick Barker are the Subcommittee appointed to finalise the design. The Pavilion at Mont Albert Reserve has been demolished and the new pavilion is due for completion in September 2014. Participation: 230 Players represented MACC during the season, Ben Galtieri and Nick Adgemis both turned out for the club in 24 matches with James Guley playing 23 matches. Congratulations to Luke Pich on achieving 300 Games and John Behrendt, Gus McLean and Paul Devine on achieving 200 games. We need to thank in particular the Canterbury Ashburton Surrey Hills and Balwyn Community Banks, Dick Menting (Chairman) and Nick Coker (Manager) for their generous support of our projects, as well as all our sponsors for their generous support. Thanks go to the members of the committee, captains, coaches, team managers and volunteers for their efforts throughout the season but, in particular, our Club coach and 1 st XI Captain Jack Joslin. Wayne Harris who did a fantastic job as Veterans Coordinator Harvey Jones who co- ordinated getting 8 Junior teams on the field each week. Jimmy Wright, Kiel Johnsen, Eddie Plant and Greg Cull have taken on the role of social committee and organised a number of successful functions including the Ladies Lunch, the Trivia Night and the Reverse Draw as well as the Presentation Night which was a fitting climax to the season. Again, the workers crew of Jack Wright, Roger Smith and Peter Burchall with moral and bakery support from KR and Richard Harding have kept the pavilion compound in shape and kept at through a hard season. Thanks to everyone who has submitted reports this season the challenge of using melon and genuflect in the same sentence was gladly taken up by most, Gus Maclean as always managed the mots textually correct usage for which I congratulate him, Greg Cull changed genuflect in to an adjective so is disqualified, Harvey Jones used the word melon completely out of context so MACC 2013-14 Annual Report 4 dips out also. Peter Knox has usually been disqualified as his report is far too wordy for me to even find the right sentence, but I have made the effort this year only to find the words changed to past tense, this is normally a disqualification but because Peter has tried so hard over many years I have given him a sympathy vote and the award for this year. This is to be my final Annual Report and after around 29 years on the committee of MACC I would like to pay tribute to the following people: - All of the current and past committee members I have worked with since 1985, I had the benefit of starting my career in administration with people such as Garnet Armstrong, Paul Hastings, Peter Coombs and Doug Dosser, this was a great start and I learned a lot. - The Presidents I worked with as treasurer or secretary, Paul Hastings, John Behrendt, Kevin Ruljancich and Peter Knox, all excellent leaders in their own ways. - Chris Dunning and Jeff Mollison who were Club Secretary before me who both set a standard for administration of the Club that has given the Club the excellent reputation it has today. - Jack Wright, Roger Smith and Peter Burchall, your work at the Club is invaluable. In bringing to a close my administrative role at MACC I reflect on the many benefits such roles bring, not only at a personal development level but in the satisfaction I have always found in ensuring that the job was done to my utmost ability and that it is important to me how our Club is view by the wider community and the ECA. Strong and effective administration is a very important part of what we can achieve and enhances our ability to achieve our goals as a Club. All the very best to Greg Cull in his new role. Congratulations to all the trophy winners for season 2013-14.

This unique series combines aspects of the expanding study of sport in the global society, providing comprehensiveness and comparison under one editorial umbrella. It is particularly timely, with studies in the political, cultural, anthropological, ethnographic, social, economic, geographical and aesthetic elements of sport proliferating in institutions of higher education. Eric Hobsbawm once called sport one of the most significant practices of the late nineteenth century. Its significance was even more marked in the late twentieth century and will continue to grow in importance into the new millennium as the world develops into a ‘global village’ sharing the English language, technology and sport.
