PRESIDENT’S REPORT Every year brings its unique rewards and challenges, and 2014 was no exception. It has been a credit to all members and staff of our association that we have managed to deal with them all, and in doing so continue to successfully run the largest hockey association in Queensland. Our winter fixture season seemed busier than ever, with the following activity: • Ran hockey fixture competitions for juniors, seniors and masters, at four turf venues and two grass venues, for over 3,200 registered players. • Sent 20 teams to compete at State Championships for Super League, Opens, U18, U15, U13 and Masters as well as 4 teams competing in the U11 Southern Cross at Downey Park. Numbers were down for our summer outdoor social competition, and this may reflect the increasing interest and availability of summer indoor competitions, and/or busier lifestyles. However, where possible we will continue to offer a variety of summer hockey programs. We continued to work with Brisbane Hockey Association (BHA) and Kedron Wavell Services Hockey Club (KWSHC) to administer the Brisbane Hockey Management Group (BHMG), which manages the Burringbar turf facility. The increasing age of this facility and its infrastructure, together with the ever-increasing costs of water and electricity, means that sufficient funds are difficult to retain for future turf replacement. This may well cause us some further challenges in years to come. The popularity of Hockey Zone, with the filming of hockey games, and coaching and umpiring techniques and skills, continues to grow. With the increasing cost of showing content on TV, the alternative providers Aurora and Bris31 were utilised this year, as well as ongoing use of YouTube. We were again able to film JT games thanks to the generosity of Powell Industrial, and we welcomed our new Division 1 sponsors White Lady Funerals. We persevere with our efforts to construct turf fields at Downey Park. This year we commissioned a Feasibility Report, and we are trying to complete the additional reports required as pre-requisites for a Development Application. The appointment of Regie Fisher as Member Development Manager and Amy Ryan as Development Officer has signalled a change of focus in member development to work with players across all age groups, and umpires. The success of these appointments is evidenced by the positive feedback we have received from a wide range of members. It would be remiss of me though, to not flag with you all the particular challenges we also face: • Our volunteer base is shrinking, not just at association level, but also at club level.
