Media Release Media Release 25 August, 2016 BUMPER FIVE DAYS OF FOOTBALL IN SYDNEY Sports fans are set for five jam-packed days of football in Sydney with seven matches covering AFL, NRL and American Football to be played from Thursday to Monday in stadiums across the city. The NRL will kick off the match schedule this evening with the Bulldogs vs. Cowboys at Belmore Oval, followed by the inaugural College Football Sydney Cup on Saturday at midday at ANZ Stadium. Come Saturday afternoon the Sydney Swans will take on Richmond at the SCG, and from Sunday through to Monday, fans can take in a further two NRL matches. NSW Minister for Trade, Tourism and Major Events and Minister for Sport Stuart Ayres said, “Sydney continues to set the benchmark as Australia’s sports capital, and the volume of football games being hosted across the city is a testament to that. “We’re particularly excited to host the College Football Sydney Cup, the opening round of the American College Football season this Saturday, with the Cal Golden Bears taking on the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors. This major event alone is anticipated to attract more than 15,000 domestic and international visitors to Sydney – an influx which is estimated to inject more than $10 million in visitor expenditure into the local economy.” Destination NSW Chief Executive Officer Sandra Chipchase said, “Securing major sporting events for NSW is a crucial part of our strategy to continue to attract visitors to our State. There’s no better place to spend a weekend than watching some footy and seeing what the city has to offer, and with a bumper five days of game-day action, visitors have even more reason to extend their stay.” The five-day schedule of football games in Sydney includes: Thursday, August 25th Bulldogs vs. Cowboys Belmore Oval, Canterbury Kick off at 7:50pm Why fans must attend: Not only is it a rare opportunity to see the Dogs play at their old home ground, but fans will see former Bulldogs player and current Cowboys captain, Jonathan Thurston Tickets available at www.tickets.nrl.com Saturday, August 27th College Football Sydney Cup ANZ Stadium, Homebush Bay Kick off at 12:00pm Why fans must attend: One of the hottest tickets in town.

  • 2012 Football Club Chairman’S Report
    MANLY-WARRINGAH RUGBY LEAGUE FOOTBALL CLUB LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2012 FOOTBALL CLUB CHAIRMAN’S REPORT Going back to back in the NRL competition has proven too big a task for the defending Premiers each year since 1992, but I can proudly say that in 2012, Geoff Toovey and the boys gave it a red hot go. Despite a host of difficulties, including pre-season disruptions, travelling to the UK for the World Club Challenge, injuries, suspensions and off field distractions, the team, led by Co-Captains Jamie Lyon and Jason King, rallied together magnificently to finish in the Top 4, falling only one game short of another Grand Final appearance after defeat by eventual 2012 Premiers, the Melbourne Storm. Whilst we may not have achieved our ultimate goal of successfully defending our 2011 title, we should not lose sight of just how difficult it is to remain near the top of the NRL competition each year. Accordingly, we should all be extremely proud of what was still a very successful 2012 season for the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles. In his first year as Head Coach, Geoff Toovey did a fantastic job despite a less than ideal preparation and I am sure he is itching to get into 2013, knowing the experience of his first year under his belt will stand him in good stead for the challenges that lie ahead. With the nucleus of the side being retained long term, particularly our young halves, Keiran Foran and Daly Cherry-Evans, we can all be justifiably confident that a 9th premiership is well within our reach in coming seasons.

  • Stadiums Taskforce Report
    4.0 Stadiums Queensland Business Model >> Stadium Taskforce - Final Report 61 4.0 Stadiums Queensland Business Model The SQ business model is the way SQ coordinates and strategically manages its asset portfolio responsibilities. The SQ business model takes into consideration items such as SQ’s approach to market testing and outsourcing of services, as well as to the shared support services for the organisation and portfolio and to SQ’s role in stadium planning. At a venue level, the SQ business model incorporates SQ’s consideration and determination of the preferred management approach for each of its venues, taking into account specifics of the asset, the use of the venue and historic operations. SQ’s intent of applying its business model is to implement management arrangements that maximise the likelihood of individual venues and the portfolio as a whole, operating as efficiently as possible. SQ achieves this by employing a variety of venue management, venue operations and venue hiring models, in addition to portfolio-wide arrangements. Market Testing and Outsourcing As a matter of business policy, SQ consistently tests the market to establish whether services are more cost effective if delivered on an outsourced basis. SQ is incentivised to do so because of customer requirements (hirers and patrons) to contain costs so that attending venues for patrons remains affordable. The Taskforce understands that a majority of SQ business is historically outsourced, including stadium services such as ticketing, catering, security, cleaning and waste management and corporate business functions such as audit, incident management, insurance and risk management. The final small percentage of services are directly delivered by SQ if it is more cost effective to do so, or if the risk to the Queensland Government is more effectively managed.

Monday March 16, 2020 $1 VAT Inclusive RETAILERS ENCOURAGED TO KEEP PRICES DOWN AS the COVID-19 virus spreads throughout the world, a local government minister is not only urging Barbadians not to panic, but is putting the case to retailers and wholesalers in this country not to jack up their prices. Minister of Small Business, Entrepreneurship and Commerce, Dwight Sutherland issued the appeal while speaking to The Barbados Advocate yesterday morning, on the sidelines of a service at Love and Light Ministries, which is based at the St. George Secondary School, to mark World Consumer Rights Day. Sutherland noted that while Barbados remained virus free, with the spread of the novel coronavirus in the Caribbean, persons living here have been stocking up on goods including hand sanitisers and other disinfecting products, which he ad- mitted has resulted in such items being in short supply. However, the Commerce Minister says stock is on its way and he is hopeful that no exorbitant prices will be charged when those items reach here. “We believe the way to address this is to have consultation with the With concerns growing about the novel coronavirus, the congregation at Love and Light Ministries, linked arms instead of stakeholders and involve the retailers holding hands during yesterday’s service.

    TO: NZRL Staff, Districts and Affiliates and Board FROM: Cushla Dawson DATE: 10 August 2009 RE: Media Summary Tuesday 04 August to Monday 10 August 2009 Bargain Bryson holds hopes for Kiwis payoff: Three Goodwin boys have played in the NRL. There was Luke, who was with the Western Reds; Bronx, the Canberra fullback sacked after a pub incident; and now Bryson, the bargain Bulldogs wing with the millionaire performances. And yet 23-year-old Bryson, with 16 tries in 17 games this season, is the only one who hasn't worn a New Zealand representative jumper. Last year, when Luke coached the Maori team and Bronx played fullback, there was no younger brother. League may hit hallowed turf: EXCLUSIVE: Australian and New Zealand league officials are expected to meet this week with Eden Park bosses to discuss the possibility of staging a test between the Kangaroos and Kiwis at the hallowed ground next year. Sunday News has been told NRL marketing boss Paul Kind and director of finance Ed Farish who lend their help to the Australian Rugby League when needed will touch down in Auckland in the next 24 hours. It's understood they will hold discussions with new NZRL CEO Jim Doyle and will also meet with Eden Park officials while here. Injury curse robs Kiwis of Asotasi again: The 24-test veteran suffered yet another season-ending injury last night, damaging the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee during South Sydney's upset 36-22 win over defending champions Manly in the National Rugby League (NRL).
