welcome to players, family and friends to the Omega Cricket Clubs 2007 Presentation Night. Tonight is an opportunity to recognise our on field performances and thank the numerous people that make Omega a success. There are so many people that contribute to the success of Omega that I only hope I manage to thank everyone. Our Coach 2006/07 Firstly I would like to thank Kathy Hack for her support of both the club and Stefan. Without Kathy and Melanie’s support Stef would not have been able to put in the time and effort that the coaching role requires – thanks Kathy and Melanie. Thank you Stefan for taking on the coaching role in 2006/07. You brought a level of professionalism and coordination to the club’s coaching that saw us have a very successful year. We finished with 4 out of 6 senior teams in the finals (2 day grades), a remarkable effort when you consider Omega is represented in 4 of the top 5 CMCA grades. Each week you would spend up to 15 hours a week selecting sides, running training and just generally thinking about how we could improve. Your innovative training schedule ensured that the players maintained motivation and interest throughout the year. The pre-season training regime was such a positive motivation to some players that it has improved not only their cricket, but their health and well being in general. Stefan’s meticulous planning and his general approach allowed for selections to be made on statistics, form, attitude and training – not just gut feel. Throughout the year there were a number of very positive selections that will in the end result in Omega being a formidable strength for many years to come. The thing that I will remember most from this year was the way in which Stefan challenged all players to perform at their best. As a non-playing coach he gave up his time and energy to help Omega become a force within the CMCA. The job of head coach can be at times a thankless task – in the end we should be very grateful for Stefan’s work and dedication to the role. Thanks Stefan Coaching 2007/08 In the next couple of weeks I will be sitting down with a number of the senior players to review our coaching methodology and plans for 2007/08 and beyond. I would encourage and welcome feedback from all club members on how we can continue to improve. 2 Omega Cricket Club (CMCA) 2006/07 Season Review PRESIDENT’S REPORT (continued) 2007 Committee I thank our 2 Vice Presidents Roshan Rodrigo and Chris Ryan for their efforts throughout the year. Roshi has done a fantastic job this year on the Bar, with the support of a number of people the Bar in 2007 has greatly contributed to club’s financial position. Thanks to Jacob Slucki who worked very closely with Rosh, ordering stock, doing stocktakes and working on the bar throughout the year. Thanks also to all those club members that throughout the year worked on the bar – In particular Marky, Vernon, Vinnie and Ilya – who I could always rely upon to do the late shift with Evil and the Muppets. Chris Ryan has decided to step down as Vice President, so I would like to take this opportunity to thank Chris for his efforts over the last 4 years. Chris has been a tremendous support to me as president in the last 2 years and the club for many years. Chris can always be relied upon to lend a hand and support the club, whether it is a working bee, or just general fix it duties around the rooms. Thanks again for your support and time that you dedicate to Omega. Peter Barton – Barts has completed another tremendous year as Treasurer. We should all be grateful for the work Barts does to keep our finances in order. Unfortunately Barts is overseas and not with us on Presentation night. Tracey Fletcher - What can I say other than the club could not run so efficiently and effectively
