CAS’ predecessor, the Cambridge Australia Trust (CAT) had, in close conjunction with the Cambridge Commonwealth Trust, already achieved a great deal, and had supported a large number of young Australians to pursue their studies at the University of Cambridge. The lawyers amongst us were bemused, however, that the so-called Cambridge Australia Trust was not, in fact, a Trust and that its legal identity was somewhat opaque. The National Committee of CAT had, from the early 1980s, been constituted as joint effort between ANU and a group of Cambridge alumni. With generational changes, retirements at ANU and, indeed, the death of several of those who had championed CAT from the 1980s, many agreed that change was needed; and so we set about to establish CAS as a sustainable and effective organisation, with best practice not-for-profit governance. Our quiet ambition was to create an organisation for Cambridge to rival the Rhodes Trust in Australia, and one which could prosper for generations.

  • Is It the Jockey, the Horse Or the Trainer?
    Is it the jockey, the horse or the trainer? What makes a champion, a champion team and champion performances? In the racehorse world of champion thoroughbred Black Caviar, is it the horse herself, is it the jockey Luke Nolen, or is it the trainer Peter Moody? In the world of Australian rugby, is it the Players, is it the coach Robbie Deans, or is it the administrators of the Australian Rugby Union who are responsible? The answer is simple. It is a partnership of all of those parties involved in the delivery of the performance. If the planning and execution of the trainer (read ARU administrators) is flawed then the horse (read players) or the jockey (read coach) are left with a greatly reduced capacity to produce a champion performance. However this does not reduce the onus on horse (players) or the jockey (coach) to perform. It is a simple principle of everyone doing their job. It is with this in mind that I read two interesting rugby articles in The Australian newspaper on Monday 22 August 2012. The two journalists, Wayne Smith and Bret Harris, for a long period of time now have consistently espoused intrinsically different positions on the state of Australian rugby and the manner in which it is administered. Performances on the playing field, such as those which have occurred between the Wallabies and the All Blacks over the last fortnight, provide the impetus for much speculation and opinion. Smith's analysis of the reasons behind the disappointing performances of the Wallabies, in particular those performances against the All Blacks, during the tenure of current Wallabies coach, Robbie Deans, are: • There is no vision for Australian rugby; • Australian rugby suffers from division and disunity; • Australian rugby has chosen to take a top-down approach rather than the bottom- up method; and • Australian rugby appointed the wrong coach in Robbie Deans and that the process involved in his appointment was flawed.

  • The Hawks' Charitable Trust Needs Your Support!
    EASTER 2010 The Hawks’ Charitable Trust needs your support! Have those of you who achieved their Blue a few years ago realised that the inherent costs involved have spiralled upwards at an enormous rate? Now the very minimum that the average Blue spends in the course of their year's sport for the University is well in excess of £1,000 and for those seeking to achieve the top flight in the more expensive sports can be more than £5,000 - this on top of soaring University fees and College living expenses! Why are the costs so high? First the cost of facilities is a major issue. Rugby and Cricket are unusual in having their own grounds. Many other sports must either compete for time on college grounds (themselves under threat), or pay to use the, very limited, public facilities. Some sports must travel out of Cambridge to find appropriate facilities even to practice on. (See inside on the Sports Centre re this issue). Second, the tide of professionalism and the intense Roy Calvocoressi Award: interest generated in sport by the television camera Anthony Crutchett, Fencing: GB and has raised the bar on performance everywhere.
