Annual REPORT 2013 - 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 2013 - 2014 1 CHAIRMANIS REPORT 2014 may well be a landmark year in modern world history surpassing 2001 and the events of 9/11. Engaging, mentoring, supporting and rescuing youth from radical groups and gang mentality have never been more important and essential for fostering a safe and transparent society in Australia as well as abroad. It is not a cliché to keep reminding everyone that in ‘Youth lies our Future’. Our trust in youth and the behaviour of youth is the backbone of any future society. At the 20th Man Youth Fund we are endeavouring to build a world class youth support service mentored by our founder and Internationally respected youth worker, Les CONTENTS Twentyman OAM. We have reached our 30th anniversary in a very expansionary and more financially secure position. This has been largely aided by the vision and support of our extraordinary Club20 Business Network members. 1 Contents 2 Chairman’s Report Achievements in 2014 include strengthening our Youth Outreach work with a further 4 years funding for 2 full time Youth Support Service workers under our banner.

  • Article 25 March 29 . 2013
    ARTICLE 25 MARCH 29TH. 2013 South Barwon was the “sentimental favourite” last weekend to win its first GCA Division One premiership for 36 years but East-Belmont swept all aside to win its 7th. flag,6/278 to 195 all seven premierships gathered since South Barwon won its last flag in 1975-76. East has a “strike rate” of a premiership every 6.7 seasons since it joined the competition in 1966-67 whilst South’s strike rate with its 5 flags is a premiership every 10.8 seasons, its five flags achieved during its 15 seasons “golden era” between 1961-62 to 1976-77. It was East-Belmont’s 10th straight consecutive win this season and South’s first loss in its last 9 games. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX South Barwon’s loss would have been particularly disappointing for champion batsman, Clinton Peake whose record 8855 runs @ 42.2 at Geelong Cricket Club over 17 seasons failed to deliver a 1st.X1 premiership, his 869 runs @ a commanding 96.6 this season a South Barwon record and the fourth highest in GCA history behind Jack Sing (944 runs @ 118.0 for Geelong West in 1948-49), Len Metherell (928 runs @ 77.3 for Geelong Footballers in 1935-36) and Michael Bowtell (882 runs @ 73.5 for Newtown & Chilwell in 1979-80). XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Andrew Baars , a member of East-Belmont’s last premiership in 2005-06 proved he was a “big occasion player” in that finals series with 55 in that qualifying final, 73 in the semi and the brilliant double of 84 &6/49 in that grand final and did so again in this years grand final with the mixed fortunes of being dismissed for 99.

We are fortunate to have her as a member of Southport Rotary. We were pleased to welcome as guests Tracy’s Australian mum Margaret Dark and Lambert and Allan’s colleague Friborz Masoori. We hope they will come again. It was good to get an update from our DGN Michael about the Prince of Peace School in Tanzania showing us the computers we sent in the container last year. The desks that were made locally were very professional looking and funded by a grant from a Rotary Club in Geelong. Michael’s report on the Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA) camp held recently at Tyalgum Ridge Resort gave us a better idea of the programme and its effectiveness in the lives of the young adult attendees.
