2 CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

The 2008/2009 season has once again athletes, but also for the spectators who could easily watch the events been one for progress at all levels of our unfold. Not surprisingly, the premier event of the year was the Sydney sport in New South Wales. We welcomed Track Classic which was held in February 2009. With the cooperation Greg Meagher as our new CEO in of the Sydney Olympic Park Authority (SOPA), and December 2008, who has already put his the presence of several key international athletes, the event provided mark on the role in Athletics NSW (ANSW). both an entertaining evening and an excellent opportunity for our own Greg’s previous experience in a national athletes to compete and qualify for international events. role with Australian Rugby Union has The year ahead will require the Board and management to implement proven invaluable in many of the the strategic plan once we have the endorsement of clubs and other discussions and negotiations that this stakeholders. My personal thanks to the Board members, as well as to position requires. Greg recently appointed Greg and his team for the commitment and dedication everyone has Kym Hooper as the new Chief Financial shown to this sport. Thank you also to Athletics Australia, NSW Institute Officer, and with Kym’s recent corporate experience we now have a of Sport, Sydney Olympic Park Authority and our local sponsors for strong management team. their support. I am pleased to report that our working group with Little Athletics NSW (LAANSW) has begun to overcome the barriers that exist in relation to Peter Bromley the transition of athletes from LAANSW to our senior sport. We have Chairman now established the reciprocal/dual registration initiative between ANSW and LAANSW scheduled to commence in 2009/2010. The recent announcement by Athletics Australia and Australian Little Athletics of a similar joint policy supports this move, and recognises the need to be proactive in this area, as we all have much to gain as a sport.

The strong financial position of ANSW provides the Board and management with the confidence to develop new strategies to grow the sport in NSW. The Board undertook a full strategic review through a series of workshops and determined the organisations direction for the next three years. The key areas that this strategy focuses on are competition, development, financial management and brand communication/marketing. Within our plan, officials and coaches continue to play a key part along with the encouragement of those in their 20s and 30s to stay in the sport as administrators.

The “Clubs on Track” is the current policy framework in helping clubs help themselves. While some perceptions are that this is only a health check of the club, it is more about helping clubs to improve in the areas of membership, administration, competition, coaching, officials and marketing. Even though many clubs have supported this initiative, I would ask that all clubs consider how this framework can help them develop their club in the future.

A major initiative that was continued during 2008/2009 was the appointment of Scott Westcott as the Regional Development Officer for the Hunter region. Scott has made some good steps in bringing a new focus to the sport in the Hunter. He recently presented a 10-point plan to the board that was endorsed for implementation. We would expect to see both development and competition programs piloted in this area, so that we can potentially expand into other regions through similar roles.

Competition continues to be the fabric of our sport in both the winter and summer seasons. Two events in particular, provided us with exciting improvements and demonstrated that ANSW can run great athletic events. The NSW 10k Road Race was held at Sydney Olympic Park with over 800 entries. This proved a success not only for the

4 Competition is the heart and soul of athletics and I would like to take this opportunity to recognise the valuable contribution of our technical officials and volunteers. It goes without saying that we could not deliver the number and quality of our competitions if it were not for their expertise and dedication.

Special mention to a number of key volunteers including Villis Gravitis, who this year received the President’s Award in recognition of more than 20 years of service to Athletics NSW. Ron Richter (archives), Peter Lucas (constitutional officer until his passing in October) and Geoffrey Adelstein (honorary solicitor) also deserve special recognition for their support and service to the organisation.

To the dedicated and hard working staff of ANSW, I would like to offer my sincere thanks on behalf of all those involved in athletics in NSW. Similarly, I would like thank the Board of Directors for their leadership, commitment and guidance to the management. In particular, I would like to commend the Chairman Peter Bromley for his support and advice throughout the year.
