In the 2005 Annual Report I outlined that the Netball Manaw atu Board w ould be aiming to correct the losses that occurred over the last three years. In 2006, this meant making some tough decisions, spending less in some areas and w orking hard to generate more revenue. I am pleased to report that the result w as a healthy surplus (before depreciation). I congratulate the Board and all others involved in turning around the financial state of Netball Manaw atu. 2006 w as again a year of staff changes and Netball Manaw atu welcomed tw o new staff members – Tania Roberts, General Manager and Paula Arztenhofer, Administration Officer. These new staff along w ith Jillian Gaze (previous GM) made significant contributions to Netball Manaw atu during the year. In 2006 the inaugural intermediate tournament w as held, along w ith the successfully run representative program, the professionally run prize giving evening, the final Saturday “finals day” and Manaw atu Standard Cup “Showcase” finals night. These w ere demonstrations of how much the staff contributed to a successful season. There w ere some changes in 2005 - Premier One, the Manaw atu Standard Cup, w as played with eight teams and started w ith a qualifying series. The second year of the showcase finals night w as a great climax to the netball season. The second year of “Umpire your ow n” along w ith fixed playing times for Secondary School teams ran very smoothly; Intermediate netball again ran on Monday nights and w hile not w ithout some concerns, it should be noted that team numbers w ere significantly up on 2005. Again considerable effort was put into the attaining and servicing of our sponsors, and steady progress was made. This w ill continue to be an area of focus for 2007, with the aim of keeping members fees as low as practical. It w as w ith sadness that in July w e farewelled Jillian Gaze after 18 short months as the General Manager of Netball Manaw atu. In this short time Jillian initiated a number of positive changes to Netball Manaw atu. She w as also heavily involved in coaching at club and representative levels and I thank her for her contribution to Netball in Manaw atu. Now that the financial situation has been improved, Netball Manaw atu has a more solid foundation w ith which to move forward. Working in the sporting and not-for-profit circles, Netball Manaw atu w ill have to continue to w ork hard to maintain a solid financial foundation. In 2007 Netball Manaw atu will focus on improving and maximizing delivery of its services while continuing to be financially prudent. Dw ight Graham Chairperson NETBALL – Everyone’s game Page 4 GENERAL MANAGER’S REPORT As we reflect on 2006 in this report w e also start looking tow ards the future, which is shaping up to be a busy and exciting year for us as a number of events head our w ay. So let’s start w ith reflecting back on 2006. I think w e can all agree that it’s been yet another busy year filled w ith some fantastic netball w ithin our centre. To sum it up, w e successfully overcame some obstacles, have experienced and moved w ith change, have new faces in the office, had yet another great Representative season w ith 9 teams representing our centre, and successfully hosted the Silver Ferns on their ‘Shine On Tour’, the Flyers and Shakers in a National Bank Cup game, the inaugural Palmfeilds Junior Tournament, and a Milo Day for juniors. A big change for the centre w as having new faces in the office. Paula Arztenhofer commenced in March as our Administration Officer, taking on an integral role w ithin the team and starting at the beginning of the netball season. Then w e experienced the departure of Jillian Gaze, w ho headed back home to Australia in July. She had been w ith the team for 18 months and put into place some great initiatives w ithin the centre. We w ere grateful to have Lyn Carey (Board Member) to step into the General Manager position until an appointment was made, and that’s w hen I came on board in August. What a time to start! All the finals were fast approaching, the Special Aw ards to sort out, and trying to get my head around what this position was all about! How ever, the netball community pulled together and have embraced these staff changes.

  • A New Approach to Measure Perceived Brand Personality Associations Among Consumers
    Sport Marketing Quarterly , 2010, 19 , 17-24, © 2010 West Virginia University B A New Approach to Measure r a Perceived Brand Personality n Associations Among Consumers d P Bob Heere e Bob Heere, PhD, is an assistant professor of kinesiology & health education at the University of Texas at Austin. His research r interests include social identity, community development, international sport management issues, and branding. s o Abstract n Brand personality research has made extensive use of factor modeling to grasp the dimensions of brand per - a sonality. Many scholars have adapted this technique to capture the brand personality of an organization. It l is argued in this study that letting consumers associate a brand with a personality through factor modeling i is flawed and anthropomorphic in nature. Therefore, the author proposes a different technique to measure t these associations, by asking managers about what personality associations they implement while marketing y their brand. Based on their responses, a list of associations was compiled and sent out to their fans, to meas - ure the effectiveness of the organization to portray the brand associations. Results indicate that by imple - menting this strategy managers are able to grasp a more precise concept of the perceived personality associations of the brand. In addition, the strategy provided managers with more in-depth information on their brand by measuring the brands’ importance and representativeness among their consumers.

    World Indigenous Peoples’ Conference on Education Hamilton, Aotearoa/New Zealand, 2005 New Horizons of Knowledge Pacific Island Women, Body Image and Sport R.Michelle Schaaf (nee Saisoa`a) Te Tumu – School of Mäori, Pacific and Indigenous Studies University of Otago Dunedin Aotearoa/New Zealand Occidental songs, novels, poetry, films, advertising and tourist promotions have created images of Pacific peoples1 and their cultures that have permeated the Western cultural subconscious. A repertoire of Orientalist images such as “palm trees, Bacardi rum and inane hip-wriggling, grimacing and swaying people”2, have informed Western impressions of the Pacific. Typically, “beautiful Polynesian girls and handsome youths wearing flowers and grass skirts, innocently practise free love on silver beaches beside a turquoise sea under swaying palms,”3 illustrate the occidental Pacific fantasia. This article analyses the representation of Pacific women from an Orientalist theoretical framework.4 The analysis traces prominent representations of Pacific women within early colonial and Christian discourses, and dominant representations since colonisation. Included in this analysis is a discussion of the fantasy of Western men, that is, of the ‘easy’ Pacific women. One of the central arguments of this article is that the reality of the ideal Pacific female body-shape from a Pacific perspective is not only in stark contrast to the Western ideal, but is also in variance with the imagined erotic archetype of Western men. To locate this analysis within the contemporary diasporic milieu, case-studies of Pacific women in the sport of netball will be used to determine the impact of Orientalist-like representations of body-shape and erotic fantasy on Pacific women now residing in New Zealand, and to highlight the differences between the Pacific and Western body-shape ideals.

  • National Bank Cup Semi Finals Preview Losses Add Extra Edge To
    National Bank Cup Semi Finals Preview Losses add extra edge to Sting v Magic clash Qualifying in second spot has given the Waikato/Bay of Plenty Magic supported by Sleepyhead a new lease of life, coach Noeline Taurua said ahead of Friday’s first National Bank Cup netball semifinal in Invercargill. Buoyed by the prospect of the two-life system for the two top qualifiers, the Magic headed south confident of resurrecting their season and starting with a clean slate against the Ascot Park Hotel Southern Sting in the first of the playoffs. With both teams coming off last round losses, the match is poised to be tight and highlighted by the prospect of some tantalising individual match-ups. Both teams are brimming with talent and have a place in the final at stake. The loser gets a second chance, playing the winner of Sunday’s second semifinal between the Fujifilm Force and the Ballantynes Canterbury Flames on June 23 to find the other finalist. The Magic have struggled to play to their potential this year but Taurua believes she has identified areas that need a slight tweaking as she searches for the elusive formula that will ignite the obvious talent in the team. The Magic have effectively gone into camp for the match, taking three days to get to Invercargill with trainings interspersed at various stopovers on the way. ``We have no fear going down there (Invercargill),’’ Taurua said. ``There’s more positives for us and if anything we play better away from home. At the moment we need team unity and hopefully it will pull us together even tighter.’’ There will be a change of tactics for the match and probably personnel as the Magic look for more control.

The resignations of Mary Haggie as Chair and President of Netball Wellington at the 2004 AGM and Sue Ryall as Executive Director in July were definitely losses to the Centre as both these women have been committed and worked hard for Wellington Netball in past years.

  • Trans-Tasman Sporting Leagues: Governance and Integration
    TRANS-TASMAN SPORTING LEAGUES: GOVERNANCE AND INTEGRATION Elizabeth Toomey* I. Introduction The surfacing of a number of trans-Tasman professional sports leagues in recent years reflects a form of regional integration and identity. This paper examines the early stages of this development and explores the changing nature of the leagues’ governance that should help strengthen a combined sporting identity. There are two models of this trans-Tasman relationship.1 The first comprises new “start-up” leagues that comprise substantial numbers of teams from both countries and, in the case of rugby union, the regional integration is expanded to include South Africa and Argentina. This model demonstrates effective regional integration. The second, which involves a New Zealand team being admitted into essentially an Australian competition, has had a less clear path to follow. All three leagues in this cluster have struggled with outdated governance structures that have failed to embrace a professional management environment in which sponsors, governments and media organisations are key players. This paper examines their governance struggles from which have emerged significant improvements. A previously stifled regional identity may now blossom with the development of viable sporting cross-border competitions. This development depends on the sporting corporate sector working more closely and strategically and on executive teams being the main initiators of strategy and change.2 II. Effective Governance Responsibilities and relationships are often identified as the two critical components of an effective governance structure. Corporate governance has been defined as:3 * Professor, School of Law, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand.

  • Courtside Round Two Review
    COURTSIDE YOUR WEEKLY UPDATE ON NETBALL’S 2006 NATIONAL BANK CUP Round Two - 8 May 2006 Flames and Magic top table after round two of the National Bank Cup Last years’ National Bank Cup champions Waikato/BOP Magic supported by Sleepyhead were on the receiving end of a strong challenge from Genesis Energy Shakers during the first half of Saturday’s round two game. Player of the match Frances Solia led the Shakers to a 15-13 lead at the end of the first quarter. Magic took control in the second half of the match, buoyed by the introduction of Silver Ferns defender Casey Williams, who made a strong return from injury to help Magic win the game with a final score of 62-43. Fujifilm Force dominated during the first half of the game against Ballantynes Canterbury Flames, ahead of the Flames 11-4 after the first quarter. Force extended their lead to 23-11 by the half time break. Flames made a steady comeback in the second half, winning the third quarter 11-7 and restricting Force to four points in the final quarter. While the late effort wasn’t enough to win the game, the two goal difference gives Flames a bonus point, while Force moved to top of the table.
