As I reflect on the past 12months, it is with honor that I can advise that Water Polo Queensland has performed exceptionally. Our high performance athletes have achieved the goal of representing their state and country. Six (6) women achieved a Bronze medal at the London Olympic Games while two (2) of our men achieved one of Australia’s best results in recent years. Overall membership numbers have increased by 15% and participation in school levels has exceeded expectations. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the clubs, coaches, referees, volunteers and especially the players for such a successful season. Our sport would not survive without the hours put in by the club volunteers, the sacrifices they make and the support provided by their families is incredible. Throughout this report you will find information on our success however I must single out the WPQ staffs performance in delivering an exceptional 2012 National 16 and Under Championships (largest tournament in Australia) and the 2013 National 14 and Under Girls Championships. Their tireless efforts ensured positive feedback from interstate participants, and confirmation from Water Polo Australia that QLD is leading the way nationally. As we are facing a never ending battle to secure funding I am pleased to say our relationships with government both local and state has been positive and to date these agencies have been generous with their financial support. The future provides us with uncertainty, with current funding arrangements ceasing in 2013 and the new Government yet to announce future funding models. However ambiguity aside I am pleased to state that WPQ is delivering beyond expectation and required targets. The year 2012 saw continued growth from the previous year which has supported and strengthened our sport in QLD. There is a long way to go in achieving desired results. But I am passionate about what the future holds and the actions we will take as a united front to achieve them. I thank the management committee for their timeless and expert guidance of WPQ, along with Executive Director Jodie Watson and all the staff of WPQ for their superb work throughout the year. As I look toward the 2013/14 season, I believe we have greater achievements in our vision. We have challenges to overcome and willing participants out there who we are yet to engage. With the future in sight a review of the WPQ strategic plan will be undertaken and new targets set for us as a sport. It is paramount that we are all strategically working together as at the end of the day, Water Polo is our love.
