    Gordon District Cricket Club Inc. 116TH ANNUAL REPORT & FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2020-2021 SEASON FOUNDED 1905 2 GORDON DISTRICT CRICKET CLUB INC. ANNUAL REPORT & FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2020-2021 GORDON DISTRICT CRICKET CLUB INC. 3 Message from the President Season 2020/21 was, in a lot of ways one of the toughest on record for our club, however as I reflected at the end of the season also one of our more successful seasons. It started in mid-March 2020, when Sydney was locked down as the emerging threat of the COVID-19 pandemic came to the fore. We met as an executive to try and plan how the pandemic would impact cricket and our club’s future viability. Within a month our initial analysis indicated we could possibly lose up to $80,000 of income from reduction in grants from Cricket Australia and Cricket NSW, loss of Geoff Hickman sponsorship as corporates tightened their belts, reduction in donors and cancellation of some of our key fund-raising events. Our club was in a solid position financially with good cash reserves, however losses like this would see us run out of funds within two years. From that point of time the club’s executive met every second Tuesday via ZOOM and tried to come up with a plan of how to mitigate these financial losses and keep the club functioning as normal. The problem was the target was moving and things changed every week or so it seemed. Along the way we realised our 1st grade side, due to a mix of retirements and other reasons, had lost the majority of players and would need to re-build by promoting our talented Under 21 players from the previous season, and giving some players an opportunity to shine that, they were not previously receiving.

  • To View a Century Downtown: Sydney University Law School's First
    CENTURY DOWN TOWN Sydney University Law School’s First Hundred Years Edited by John and Judy Mackinolty Sydney University Law School ® 1991 by the Sydney University Law School This book is copyright. Apart from any fair dealing for the purposes of study, research, criticism, review, or as otherwise permitted under the Copyright Act, no part may be reproduced by any process without written permission. Inquiries should be made to the publisher. Typeset, printed & bound by Southwood Press Pty Limited 80-92 Chapel Street, Marrickville, NSW For the publisher Sydney University Law School Phillip Street, Sydney ISBN 0 909777 22 5 Preface 1990 marks the Centenary of the Law School. Technically the Centenary of the Faculty of Law occurred in 1957, 100 years after the Faculty was formally established by the new University. In that sense, Sydney joins Melbourne as the two oldest law faculties in Australia. But, even less than the law itself, a law school is not just words on paper; it is people relating to each other, students and their teachers. Effectively the Faculty began its teaching existence in 1890. In that year the first full time Professor, Pitt Cobbett was appointed. Thus, and appropriately, the Law School celebrated its centenary in 1990, 33 years after the Faculty might have done. In addition to a formal structure, a law school needs a substantial one, stone, bricks and mortar in better architectural days, but if pressed to it, pre-stressed concrete. In its first century, as these chapters recount, the School was rather peripatetic — as if on circuit around Phillip Street.
