ECSCC Annual Report 2012/13 Page 5 PRESIDENTS REPORT It again gives me considerable pride and pleasure to record another satisfactory season in 2012 -2013. Not one of our greatest but still competitive in all grades. With the earthquakes behind us, we have, as usual, given it our best shot. As you may be aware, we didn’t win any major CCA club awards this year but there were many good performances and some special highlights as noted further on in the report. Congratulations to all teams and individuals for their efforts and achievements during the season. There was a long list of awards presented at our prize-giving in April. Special congratulations to Jason Pawson (JP) for his performances during the year and other personal milestones. Both he and Ryan Burson have indicated retirement is pending. They have been stalwarts for the club and have given great service to the club over a long period. There were other notable individual highlights: Tim Johnston was selected for Canterbury; Sara McGlashan and Morna Neilsen for the White Ferns (playing with distinction at the World Cup in India); Jacinta Savage and Hayley Jensen for Canterbury; Leo Carter and Ken McClure for NZ Under 19. Our warm congratulations to these players and to all other club members, including juniors, who made representative teams this season. We are proud of their efforts. Our Junior programme continues under the leadership of Henk Stoffers, Dave Teale and the Junior committee. Our thanks to Henk and Dave for their efforts and all those who helped during the season including committee members, coaches and team managers. Also congratulations to all those who were selected for Canterbury Junior Rep teams. Our Junior award function at the end of the season was again a great success. There was a good attendance and lots of potential on display. A fitting end to the season. The junior programme is important in the progress and development of the game both for the club and the wider community. Our senior award function in April was another success with a good attendance. It is a great way to acknowledge club performances for the season. Warm congratulations to all who received awards and trophies. It was a particular pleasure to award the President’s trophy to Henk Stoffers for his sterling contribution to our Junior Programme over the last few years. He has served the club well in this capacity. His energy and enthusiasm is unbounded. Well done Henk. Fully deserved. Finally, thanks to all who have helped in the success of our club during the season. In particular, we appreciate the support of our sponsors and funding received from gaming trusts to assist with operating costs. Our management committee led by Peter Dow, with support from Vice President Howard Morel and Secretary Jeff Cope continues to look after administration. Unfortunately, we haven’t found a new Treasurer and I am looking after these duties in the meantime. Other major contributions include the Junior section led by Henk Stoffers (as mentioned), our coaching team led by Neville Lyons, our team captains and managers and our pitch preparer, Peter Dunell. All have made a valuable contribution. On the social side, Steve Saunders for catering, our bar staff and all parents and supporters for their assistance and support when necessary. Everyone has played a valuable part in the life of our club. We are fortunate to be well served by many individuals dedicated to the success of our Club.
