Chairperson’s Report FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 Thank you for the honour of once again serving as your Chairman. The past year has been one of consolidation and continued improvement of our financial position. The reports of the various segments of the Group are commended to you for reading. The massive strength that this Corporation enjoys is evidenced by those reports. FINANCE AND MANAGEMENT At the risk of a suggestion that one is being repetitive, the strong control, guidance, example and leadership of Michael Coghlan continues. He is the direct cause of the wonderful results about which one enthuses. His skills are filtered to his management team who spread those amongst our wonderful staff. On your behalf I thank them one and all for their efforts. We recognise that the growth and diversification of the Club over the last 18 years is such that our corporate duty adds responsibilities far beyond that which was of concern during the last century. SPORTING Congratulations to all of our sporting teams for all of their achievements throughout the year. I refer you to the various sporting reports. Our relationship with the Eastern Suburbs Club continues and the success of our team as feeder club to Easts brings the Wyong Roos into the media spotlight. Rugby League is of course fundamental to our existence and the continued survival of the game on the Central Coast is paramount. Our efforts to add financial support to the division were unsuccessful although we understand there was an indirect financial benefit we understand. Nevertheless, we continue to monitor, as best we can, the financial well-being of those clubs running Rugby League operations without the support of licensed clubs. Our football committee is looking at ways that we may be able to further assist such clubs. We now have so many other sporting teams that we either sponsor or fully underwrite. Those of us older members can no doubt well remember, the late Bill Tudehope, who at many of our Annual General Meetings, would raise the question of the club establishing a lawn bowls green at the Club. How pleased he would be to see the number of bowlers we now have within our fold. Soccer too has come within our scope, especially via the Budgewoi venue. We have reached an agreement financially beneficial to us, with Central Coast Soccer to secure the future of soccer at that venue for the foreseeable future. The agreement has no negative impact on the Soccer Club and the use of the grounds by Central Coast Soccer is always contingent upon and subject to the needs of our Club.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 COMMUNITY Our role in the communities within which we have venues is so important. On the Central Coast we are one of the biggest employers with about 350 families being fed, clothed, educated and generally maintained from income received by our employees.
