Carried Election of Life Members: None President’s Report Both on and off the field the year was, in my opinion, nothing short of brilliant (albeit touched with sadness early in the year with the loss of stalwart Russell ‘Ergy’ Neal), congratulations to everyone involved with the Club. I hope everyone enjoyed the year as much as me. History will shows us as run-away Club Champions; run-away Minor Premiers in 1st, 2nd & 3rd Grade; Minor and Major Premiers in u’16s and indeed competitive in each other side we fielded. I don’t know that we could have done much more as a club during the year, my thanks to all Coaching staff from Belly and Bucket right through to tee-ball. Thankyou to the players for continuing to proudly perform and behave as we expect Belmont personnel will (a fond farewell to club legend Bradles and Dennis). My thanks to scorers, team EO’s , assistant ground crew, canteen workers, BBQ men,…..the list goes on and I am sure I have overlooked many. Special thanks to the hard working committee headed up by Kim and Maxine, without each and everyone of you we could not have continued to produce the smooth running and successful Club we have. My only complaint is that it remains a fact that at our club (like most others) it is such a small group of people that do the bulk of the work, I would dearly love to see more volunteers in all areas next year, parents in particular – please get involved. As always I wish to thank the Belmont Sportsman’s Club for their support, without them we would not be able to supply the standard of facilities that we do at such a reasonable cost to members – Clarkey in particular a big thankyou for the effort you supply above and beyond the call to provide our first- class grounds. To our kindred clubs – Lakes United congratulations on capturing the Premiership in 2006 and to Belmont District Cricket Club – good luck for the season underway. Let us congratulate ourselves on the year that was, it is indeed a springboard to further domination of the competition that we look towards in the future. I look forward to seeing everyone back again in 2007 for another season of Belmont Baseball. Secretary’s Report I will give just a brief report now, for the longer version refer to both the Secretaries and Junior report in the Annual report. I have enjoyed the year but was surprised at how much of my time it took up, now every thing is set up on computer shouldn’t be so bad next season. High points of the year were the increase in numbers of juniors, the performance of all players and teams. Both tournaments we held were great successes and I think the Sunday night functions both at our club and at different fields were fun and successful. A big thank you to all the committee , coaches, players, scorers, umpires and canteen and ground helpers. Your work is appreciated.
