After assuming the role during November after the resignation of Ricky Welsh, from my position as senior Vice President. I have been slowly but surely finding my feet in the new role. I would quickly like to recognise the previous efforts of outgoing 2014 -15 President Ken Robinson who had held the chair for some 13 years prior to this season. I wish Ken and his family all the best in the future. I would also like to thank our other ex ecutive committee members, in particular Matt Rose and the continuing tireless efforts of Brendan Cunningham. Matt in particular put many hours into the organisation of our CHDCA representative sides, I know firsthand what a challenging role this can be. Once again CHDCA finished strongly in this year’s McDonalds Country Cup state knockout competition, losing a hard fought Semi Final to Parkes in Tamworth. Once again the CHDCA held our annual T20 competition with great success. After a strong platform was put in place the previous season by Grant Lawler and Justin Gilbert, Grant continued to assist in this area which ensured the smooth running of the event. CHDCA also played host to South Coast District Cricket Association for a pre -season T20 challenge. Un fortunately, this event was seriously weather effected. Some play was possible on day two however with a modified single T26 match being played in great spirits. This event also made possible by the efforts of Grant Lawler. Our trophy cabinets have now found what we hope to be a permanent home at the Coffs Harbour Leagues Club after the unfortunate closure of Club Coffs, and an extended period securely locked away in Joan Tolhurst’s garage . A big thank you to John and Joan Tolhurst for ensuring the safekeep ing of this valuable asset. A big thank you to the Coffs Harbour City Council for the resources they continue to put into the Coffs Coast Sport and Le isure Park precinct. Coffs Harbour as a result continues to appear on the radar for many major sporting ev ents. Not least the NSW v South Australia Sheffield Shield match held at the Cex International Stadium this season. The Sports Unit continue to work with curator Russell Fensom to ensure the facility is maintained in outstanding condition. Obviously at times we can lose the use of these facilities at a local level on a temporary basis, however the longer term benefits to this minor inconvenience far outweigh any negative effect. Works have also now commenced on the Turf Wicket square at Coffs Coast Hockey Fields. This wicket should be up and running in the early stages of 2017 all going well. Unfortunately, this year saw a substantial drop off in play on our old favourite Brelsford Park due to weather, other events and access which is disappointing. The amenities at Brelsford Park have been deemed unsafe to use. For this reason, Brelsford Park will continue to be used where necessary for lower grade matches or during periods of unavailability at other venues. 2- Coffs Harbour once again hosted the Country Cricket NSW U17 State Challenge in August 2015. A big thank you to all members who contributed to the organisation of catering and venues at this tournament I would like to thank Gary Campbell and the CHDCA Umpires & Scorers Association for their efforts in ensuring local and Inter District matches are affiliated wherever possible. We are all aware what a thankless task umpiring can be at times. I would also like to express my apologies for the poor Match Committee response during the season and thank the Umpires for their patience during this transitional period. Some substantial changes have been made to our current ByLaws effecting team nominations and club affiliation. We hope these ByLaw changes make a positive differenc e to what has been an ongoing and serious issue with our competition structure. Congratulations to all of our individual award winners and to Sawtell Cricket Club for the CHDCA First Grade Premiership and the Club Championship. Last of all I would like to wish the incoming committee all the best for the upcoming season 2016- 17 and hope to see CHDCA continue to prosper into the future.

To my committee, congratulations on an excellent effort throughout this season – Vice President Graham DOUST, Secretary Matthew CAMPBELL, Treasurer Paul HARRIS – your time, effort, and expertise have been greatly appreciated by all fellow umpires. To ALL umpires: very well done – without your continued dedication, commitment, enthusiasm, and expertise, our great game would be much the poorer; I hope to see all of us officiating in 2016 – 2017. As cricket umpires, we are all committed to assisting, advising , and supporting cricket – in particular, on the North Coast generally, and in the Coffs Harbour District specifically. To achieve such roles we need the guidance and mutual support of the various administrative and governing cricket organisations; a speci al mention and “thank you” to the Coffs Harbour District Senior Cricket Association, and the Coffs Harbour District Junior Cricket Association for their guidance and mutual support and respect throughout this season. Without grounds and pitches, the playing of cricket becomes difficult; well done to groundsmen, curators, players, and often parents for their efforts. Another particularly special mention: to all players – male and female, young, old and older; to parents and families; to spectators.
