For your incoming board the past year has been about carefully analysing the various strands that bind Wairarapa Bush together, and working out how best to galvanise us all, in the interests of the game we love, for the years ahead. BOARD APPOINTMENT In 2013 the NZRU provided our Union with a $130,000.00 loan to restructure its balance sheet and reorganise its constitution and governance model. In March 2013, Tony Hargood was appointed as our new Chief Executive Officer and not long after, a new Board made up of four independent directors was appointed. The appointed members were: Fergus Rutherford, Catherine Rossiter-Stead, Tim Fairbrother, and myself. At our May 2013 AGM, Dennis Dougherty and Tim Nathan were appointed Deputy Chair and Chairman of the Council of Clubs respectively. Richard Dahlberg was elected the Union’s Vice President and Rex Playle our President. They complete the membership of our board. As a new board, we have taken time to familiarise ourselves with the state of the game in the province. Over the year, we have tried our best to understand your concerns and aspirations for local rugby, as administrators, as players, as coaches, referees, and as communities stretching from Pirinoa to Pahiatua. We have also had to move quickly to stabilise our organisation's administration and finances. Our focus is now turning to growing the game - to weave a fine cloak for Wairarapa Bush rugby that we will all be proud of. MOVING AHEAD: CONSTITUTION & STRATEGY I would like to acknowledge the work of our outgoing Chairman Graeme Reisima and his board, and also the work of our late President Ross Rowden in reviewing our Union’s constitution. Our key document is now fully updated and provides a strong basis for future development. It was formally adopted at our AGM in 2013. On 9th November 2013, club leaders and representatives from all key rugby sector groups participated in a planning session to set the direction for local rugby over the next four years. Their contribution was 1 Acknowledgements to the people of Ngai Tumapuhia-a-Rangi Page 3 ANNUAL REPORT 2013 fantastic. We were humbled by the spirit and commitment of your rugby leaders to ensure the game’s future in our province. A strategic plan has now been developed that will determine the pathway ahead. The goal in the plan is for our union to be an innovative leader and to: Achieve on field success Be a model of effective governance Be financially stable Implement good succession planning Implement an innovative and sound model for how the game is played in Wairarapa Ensure the place of rugby is embedded in the community Have enduring quality relationships. CELEBRATING 2013 Whilst we need to have an eye on the future, we should also find time to celebrate what has been a big year for local rugby. There have been many great developments on and off field, much of this is outlined in our CEO's report. I am reluctant to single out any particular group or achievement for recognition, as so many people give so much of their time and passion to rugby in our province. Suffice to say that your Board and management are proud to serve this wonderful game alongside each and every one of you. However amongst the many major highlights in 2013, was the election of Sir Brian Lochore as the new Patron for the New Zealand Rugby Union (NZRU). The WBRU Life Member and former All Blacks captain, coach, and selector was also confirmed as a Life Member of the NZRU in recognition for the exceptional service he has given to New Zealand rugby. We are proud of our province’s long association with Sir Brian and congratulate him and Pam on their wonderful acknowledgement. TRUST HOUSE MEMORIAL PARK The redevelopment of Trust House Memorial Park is arguably the biggest future project ahead of the Union. The park is the home of rugby in the Wairarapa and needs to be a place that families can come and enjoy time together. We are working closely with the Masterton District Council on the redevelopment of the park. Kia ora Paora Ammunson Chairman Wairarapa Bush Rugby Union Page 4 ANNUAL REPORT 2013 PRESIDENT’S REPORT As President I get to be involved with the grassroots side of rugby which I enjoy immensely. I have the opportunity to interact and present trophies to successful winners of each of our valued competitions. I would like to congratulate not only winners of the each competition, but also the teams and clubs for all their hard work in making sure playing rugby is at the heart of the community. I would like to make special mention of our very patriotic and vocal supporters club who have turned the Gravel Pit into an iconic place of fun and passion. The supporters travel en masse to all the away games and it is very well known that Wairarapa Bush has the best Heartland support in New Zealand. The work of our clubs led by Tim Nathan and Doc Dougherty as well as the individual Council of Club delegates has been inspiring to watch during 2013. It is almost my job to acknowledge three people who for years have given up their time to make Trust House Memorial Park operate, Farry McLeod, Bryan Stewart on the gates and John Pereira. I would like to thank the secondary schools, the JAB and the Wairarapa Bush Rugby Referees Association for their time and investment into rugby. Without your voluntary support we would not be able to continue to perform as well as we have done. The new Board has brought vigor and debate to the table and are very focused on the long term strategies for rugby. In what was a difficult starting position for the Union in 2013, under the guidance of CEO Tony Hargood and Chairman Paora Ammunson, we have seen a lift in operating performance and I thank the board and staff for their commitment. Our representative teams have performed extremely well and I congratulate Mark Rutene, Paddy Gough and Gavin Hodder for their stewardship of the Heartland team. Our other representative teams continued to provide the passion and honour in performing well for their Union. On a sad note, the year ended with the sudden passing away of our immediate past President Ross Rowden. He will be sadly missed by all that knew him. As everyone would say he was a good BUGGER, and a true gentleman. Ross may you rest in peace and thank you. Mr. Rex Playle President Wairarapa Bush Rugby Union Page 5 ANNUAL REPORT 2013 COUNCIL OF CLUBS’ REPORT It has been exciting year for the union in 2013. I would like thank our clubs and their volunteers for all the hours of work they put in to ensure rugby stays vibrant during the season. The attendance by clubs at the Council of Club meetings has been exemplary compared to previous years. Also, the revised meeting format to include a monthly report on matters affecting the Union has been well received and improved the working relationship by all clubs.

  • Farriers Wairarapa Bush Vs East Coast Saturday 2Nd September Trust House Memorial Park Heartlands 100Th Game
    Farriers Wairarapa Bush vs East Coast Saturday 2nd September Trust House Memorial Park Heartlands 100th game The Wairarapa–Bush rugby team celebrates winning the Heartland Championship at Cooks Gardens, Whanganui, in October 2006. The team beat Wanganui 16–14. Message from the Wairarapa Bush President As President, I would like to welcome you all to the home of Wairarapa Bush Rugby. To all the officials, players and supporters a feast of rugby and hospitality is on offer for you all to enjoy. Today four games are being played at Trust House Memorial Park; Under 14s vs Manawatu, Tranzit Wairarapa Bush U18s vs Wanganui, Jackson Street Bar Wairarapa Bush Development vs Wellington Maori and Farriers Wairarapa Bush go head to head with East Coast. A full day of rugby at its best. East Coast has a proud tradition formed in 1922, known as Ngati Porou East Coast. They can lay claim to the great George Nepia who played club rugby there and Andy Jeffard. They are a team that always play an entertaining style of rugby and will ensure that the home team is truly tested. Where ever East Coast play, many locals find that they have connections to the Coast and whatever the result a good after match can be guaranteed with many stories told. As always, we have the best supporters club in the Heartland. The Gravel Pit will be open to welcome all. A visit to the club is always an experience and the support they give the union is much appreciated. In conclusion, enjoy the day and please remember that the referees and the side line officials are there to make our game safe and enjoyable and will as always accept good natured banter, abuse is unnecessary and is unacceptable.
