2019 ANNUAL REPORT 90th Annual Report of the Hampton Rovers FC CLUB HISTORY.. Hampton Rovers Amateur Football Club first started as an organised activity for the First Hampton Scout Group by Norm (Boss) James in 1918. The Scout Group’s main theme was to promote football as a team game and encourage self-confidence, self-control and a desire to improve a player’s ability. This is similar to the current philosophy used by the club today. Initially, games were played socially against other Scout Groups and then in the Association Sub-district competition. The club as we know it today was established in 1929 and as the incentive to play a higher standard became apparent, another competition was sought and in 1933, Hampton Rovers was accepted into the Metropolitan Amateur Football competition, which later became the Victorian Amateur Football Association. In 1963 the club moved from its Ludstone Street ground to the corner of David Street and Bluff Road, our present home. In 2002 this ground was formally named the “Boss James Reserve” in memory of the club’s founder. In 1979 the Hampton Rovers Football Club started its youth policy by introducing junior teams in an effort to provide an extensive link with the local community and to provide a development scheme for the senior side. The club now fields 28 junior teams in the South Metro Junior Football League, with over 600 boys and girls. The Rovers have won nine senior premierships and were the first club to win the flag in each of the four senior VAFA sections when it won the ‘A Section’ premiership in 1951. Nine Reserve and 10 Under 19 premierships have also been won by the Rovers, which celebrated its 90th year in 2019. 2019 PRESTIGIOUS AWARDS.

It has been a privilege for me to work with so many people who volunteer and contribute to the Football club to ensure it's on field success. I would like to thank Kate Robb for all her help and contribution as Junior Treasurer and Board Member her advice and support throughout the year has been superb. The co-operation and unity with the Junior club operating together strengthens the club and overall makes it more successful. In 2019 after expenses of $290K the club has reported a profit of $53K. This represents a profit of 18% on the turnover, after a couple of years of small losses it is good to be back in the black. Summary of the financial results for the year. • Junior and Senior memberships all exceeded 2018 results reflecting increased membership and collections by $27,571. • Revenue raised from Fundraising was stronger than in 2018 with a successful 90/40 anniversary. • Major sponsors remained strong and in line with prior years however there was a drop off smaller sponsors this is an opportunity in 2020 • Merchandise was well managed and made a profit of $15K. • Catering and Bar income up on last year whilst overall costs were down providing a profit of $34K. • Administration and utility expenses–were all controlled and down on 2018. • Overall playing expenses were down on last year, this was due to strong control of costs with $8K being saved on playing equipment, whilst medical costs were managed, and a lower number of finals games were played by the seniors. The club is in a very sound financial position and as a committee we will continue to be accountable by reducing unnecessary costs and generating revenue to meet the ongoing annual expenses. The cash position of club remains healthy thanks to the generous donation by Peter Streets estate back in 2015. The aim of the committee is to maintain Peter’s donation and not use it for operating costs. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our sponsors throughout the year, without them the football club cannot continue to be the success it is.
