Who else would be able to bounce back from flood, staff resignations at the beginning of the season, and swine flu, all in the one year! We can be proud of our many achievements this year: Telecast of Division 1 Hockey through QCTV each week, in conjunction with BHA. Worked with BHA & KWSHC to establish Brisbane Hockey Management Group (BHMG) to run the Burringbar Turf Facility after the collapse of ShawSportz. Hosted a large Q150 event at Downey Park in conjunction with the U11 Southern Cross. The event saw the collation of BWHA Archives going back to 1933. Hosted the Women‟s Premier League in Brisbane Won every Division 1 age division at State Championships in 2009: Premier League, U18, U15, U13 and Veterans. I stated in last year‟s report that we had practices in place, or being put in place, that were helping us to grow with challenges. It is as well that we did, because since that time we have had: Torrential Rain in November 2008 which saw flood damage costing over $70,000 to repair to the administration office and clubhouse. Torrential rain in May 2009 which saw flood damage costing over $130,000 to repair to the administration office/clubhouse and playing facilities during the peak period of our season, and rescheduling of 4 weeks of grass fixtures. Further rain throughout the season which saw four Saturday grass fixture days cancelled – though the mini-carnival day held to play these washed-out games was a great success and brought back memories of the Downey Park of old. H1N1 Influenza (swine flu) at pandemic status, causing disruption of games and confusion regarding ability to play. Staff resignations early in the season, but fortunately offset by being able to recruit new staff who were able to hit the ground running. This year was the second year since the 1970‟s where the junior and senior sections of the association continued to meet as one, at both management and Council level. Whilst this has ensured better interaction across junior and senior competition there are some areas that we need to give more attention to, particularly with regards to club and volunteer participation. We also need to consider this in context of senior grass and turf competition. The disruptions of the year have meant that we have not progressed as many of our initiatives as originally intended at the start of the year.
