What a fantastic night to recognise all those people in the Bay that have not only contributed, but those players who have succeeded on the court. A special thanks to Cheryl Te Kani-McQueen and the Geyser Squash Club for being that central location for Bay Squash, enabling us to have a huge turnout for the night. It was such a special night to see so many old friends, family and our younger players carrying on what is a great tradition and pride of culture in the Bay. To the World Junior Champs, what an incredible event to have hosted in the Bay, and of course to Wayne and his team, Devoy, The Mount and Te Puke, amazing stuff. Underwriting Marcus’s time to the event was not only important for the game of squash in our region, but a fantastic opportunity for Marcus. In some aspects, it was difficult to get on with the business of Bay Squash due to the enormity of the worlds, however without a doubt squash was the winner and we still managed to run a stable ship for our stakeholders in 2017. Well done Marcus and the BOP Board. I would like to personally thank all the clubs for supporting what we do, and what we endeavour to achieve on your behalf. I would also like to thank every volunteer who never gets thanked but gives up all their valuable time. The role of Chair for myself extends well beyond the borders of the Bay, with hours of discussions with other Chairs and management around New Zealand. I do this so that NZ Squash delivers to their stakeholders – being the districts and the clubs. NZ Squash have some challenges in front of them, with the resignation of Jim O’Grady as the CEO, however with this may create some fresh opportunities. We need to be in a position to benefit from these, and also to ensure that we don’t duplicate resources, so we can achieve the maximum return for our levies and our efforts. For the up and coming year, we are looking for new members of the board, to assist us with strategies of sustainability. The goal is to make sure that the BOP Board is made up of a cross section of club representations from the different clubs around the Bay, ensuring balance of opinions and debate. Ultimately we would like to work closer with clubs to ensure their financial viability using both NZ and BOP Squash resources. Increasing participation and enjoyment of the game at grass roots is and will always be the success of our game. Vicki Beker Board Chairman SQUASH BAY OF PLENTY ANNUAL REPORT 2017 5 MANAGER’S REPORT MARCUS NILES 2017 has been a massive year. We have enjoyed some incredible successes on the court, and we are in a great place off the court. The biggest aspect of my year was the hosting of the World Junior Championships in Tauranga. I was lucky enough to be appointed Championship Director and got to work with a fantastic team to deliver the event. We surpassed our expectations and the event achieved all our goals and beyond. It was very hard work but it was an experience I will never forget and take great pride in the way the Bay was portrayed on the world stage. A special mention must go to Wayne Werder who was an incredible leader and was truly dedicated to producing a world-class event. He thoroughly deserved the Squash NZ Personality of the Year Award he was presented at the Squash NZ Awards. Interclub was steady again this year with team numbers remaining similar to the past few years. There are pockets of clubs who don’t engage due to travel issues and that remains a challenge for us to work on. Superchamps this year saw a huge increase in participation. We were up from 35 teams last year, to a whopping 50 teams this year! I’m not sure the reason for the uptick in numbers, but it’s something I really hope continues. The other pleasing thing was the winning teams were spread around the clubs, and we came away with two titles to clubs who haven’t had national titles for many years. Great to see. The Eye Junior One Day series was again a great success. A lot of credit must go to the clubs who continue do a good job of running the events. This series is a fantastic vehicle to get new players hooked on our sport, and I see it as a vital tool to increase membership moving forward. Growing our game is still the number one challenge we face. There are some exciting developments on the horizon that could help us arrest the decline in our sport, but it is a challenging environment and we have to get better at working together at club, district and national level.
