Congratulations to all the Premiership-winning sides and all the individual trophy winners. The competitions were all hard fought and the semi-finalists were not decided until the last round in many grades. As every year the stand out performers can look forward to filling places in higher grades, while all us old fellows can hopefully fill spots in the lower grades. Year after year, our District can only survive with the dedication of the Senior Management Committee. Thank you to all the Club Representatives for their time and efforts, with special thanks to Peter Lea, as Senior Vice-President and Grading Committee Chairman, Allan Carver, Association Treasurer, for his efforts at keeping our District in the black and Hilary Griffith for the endless hours he puts into our District representing us all over town. Unfortunately, some clubs are still having trouble finding a representative, which leaves those clubs out of the decisions affecting them and their players. In any sport it is essential to have the support and contributions of sponsors. This season we continued to have the support of the Richmond Club, and it was greatly appreciated, along with all the other sponsors who supported individual Association representative teams. We trust that the conduct of all our representative players has been a true reflection of the esteem in which we hold our sponsors and the advertising has been beneficial to them. We look forward to continuing these arrangements in the years ahead. Our Representatives sides all performed well, with the Goulder Shield side performing the best, by taking out the final in a nail-biting finish. Congratulations girls and we hope you will all stay together next season to defend the title. Thank you to all the coaches, managers, parents and all the supporters that donated their time to help our “Up and Coming Champions”. Thanks to Peter Harris, Melissa Packer, Denise Carver, John Hopper and all the Junior Management Committee for their efforts in organising the Junior Competition this season. A District is nothing without its juniors. In closing, I reiterate how enjoyable the past year has been, serving as President of The Hawkesbury District Cricket Association. It has been a privilege and a pleasure to be closely involved in the District and I look forward to being a part of the Association in the coming years, as I believe the Hawkesbury is, and will continue to be, a District on the rise. Yours in cricket Peter Seagrott President 4 Association Secretary’s Report It is with pleasure that I present the 107th Annual Report of the Hawkesbury Cricket Association Incorporated. The previous Annual Meeting was held on 12 July 2004 and attendance of 31 persons was as follows: Mr P. Seagrott (President), Mr P. Lea (Senior Vice-President), Mr H.J.F. Griffith (Secretary), Mr Allan Carver (Treasurer), Mr P. Harris (Junior Chairperson), Messrs K. Birdsey, C. Eilbeck, I. Johnston and R. Matheson (Life Members), Messrs D. Apps, M. Byrne, R. Bremner, Mark Van der Reyden, R. Thompson (Bligh Park), Messrs S. Hile, P. Noble (Freemans Reach), Ms Tammy Barber and Messrs Trevor Barber, Graham Drury, Steve Richards (Glossodia), Ms C. Langham, Ms R. Bennett and Mr G. Hitchcock (Maroota), Messrs D. Baker, J. Boersma (North Richmond), Mr H. Stephens (Pitt Town Sports), Messrs W. Packer, L. Johnson (Richmond), Ms S. Garay and Mr F. Garay (Windsor Leagues) and Ms M. Packer (Assistant Secretary) An apology was tendered by Mr W. Bartley (Pitt Town Sports) Association By-Laws A number of amendments to the By-Laws and Playing Rules were passed. These included changes to again award trophies for individuals in the Under 11 competition, to provide for stricter guidelines for player-umpire attire, to allow replacements in senior matches for emergency service workers and volunteers called away from matches and to allow the executive a greater timeframe to move semi-final and final matches if required. Delegates Messrs Hilary Griffith (4) and Peter Harris (1) represented Hawkesbury at the four meetings of the NSW Districts Cricket Association during the season. Mr Griffith was again elected to the Executive of the NSW District Cricket Association and served on the Inter-District and Appeals Committees. Club Changes Prior to the season commencing, the HDCA was informed by Riverstone RSL Cricket Club that it had altered its name to Riverstone Cricket Club. The alteration was approved. The Macquarie Towns Cricket Club advised that teams would not be fielded and that the club was being dissolved. The Association received this advice with regret. Restructure of the Association At the time of preparation of this report, an Association sub-committee is active in the development of proposals for the restructure of the HDCA to amalgamate both the Junior and Senior Management Committees into one Management Committee. A consultative process involving a wide group of individuals and organisations will come forward
