3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Athletics Tasmania acknowledges the efforts and commitment made by its officials, coaches, volunteers and administrators. Our sport could not be successful without their contribution. Also we would like to acknowledge the efforts of our athletes and assure them that we will make every effort to give them the best support and competition that we can in the coming year.

Special recognition must go to the Tasmanian Government whose financial contribution to our organisation is most welcome through Events Tasmania and Sport and Recreation Tasmania. Our parent body Athletics Australia and its principal commercial partner, Telstra has continued to support the Member Associations in a variety of ways. We were particularly pleased to be able to host two sets of national championships in Tasmania during the report period.

The major sponsors of the Tasmanian Marathon, Cadbury Schweppes and the Glenorchy City Council helped deliver another successful edition of this excellent event, which continues to grow each year, whilst the Hobart City Council is acknowledged for its help and assistance with the Race to the Taste.

With the valuable support of Tasmania’s Forest Industries (through the auspices of the Forest Industries Association of Tasmania, Private Forests Tasmania and the Forests and Forest Industry Council of Tasmania), Athletics Australia, and a range of support sponsors including the Tassal Group, Cadbury and WIN TV, we were able in 2007 to again stage the Graeme Briggs Memorial as part of the National Athletics Series. We are especially grateful to both our financial backers and all of those who made a voluntary contribution to the Meet’s success.

We would like to thank all our sponsors and supporters for their generous assistance:

Athletics Australia Macquarie Accounting Cadbury Schweppes Telstra

Tasmanian Institute of Sport

 Hobart City Council  Glenorchy City Council  Launceston City Council  Banjo’s Campbell Town  Brighton Council  Tassal Group  Central Coast Council  WIN Television

The media has continued to be most generous in the interest shown and coverage and interest given to our sport, our athletes and events. We thank the many individuals and organisations who have supported us in this regard over the period of this report.

4 PRESIDENT’S REPORT

After the recovery and consolidation in the 2004-05 and 2005-06 years, the Board is pleased to report that the sport has been able to commence, as we had envisaged, a period of growth and expansion.

Whilst formal registration numbers remain unacceptably low, there is plenty of evidence that participation in many aspects of the sport is on the improve. This is particularly evident in the schools competitions delivered by Athletics Tasmania, most notably with the Primary and Secondary Cross country events and the Schools Knockout – interestingly events with a team aspect to them.

The Board met regularly throughout the report period (1.4.06 to 31.03.7) – on eleven occasions and has operated in an efficient and productive manner. Following the changes agreed at the 2006 Annual General Meeting, the Board has increased in size by three members, enabling greater efficiencies to be achieved and more activities to be undertaken.

The Board constantly examined future directions throughout the year, enabling the new Athletics Tasmania Strategic Plan to be finalised shortly after the end of the report period. We believe this document will provide an excellent framework for the future direction, growth and expansion of Tasmanian athletics.

We anticipate that we will receive good assistance in this regard from Athletics Australia, which itself has completed a period of consolidation and is now, in our view, operating effectively as a national body. AT has requested AA to examine ways in which it can assist in leading some renewed national development programmes but it is acknowledged that its capacity to do so will depend to a considerable degree on its important search for a new major sponsor, following Telstra’s decision not to renew.

Athletics Tasmania takes this opportunity to acknowledge the valuable assistance that Telstra has provided to it and member branches, during its period as AA’s principal commercial partner.

In accordance with the recommendations of the Elliott Review, AA has implemented a range of initiatives to play a greater role in the delivery of education and support to coaching and coaches. AT has been an enthusiastic participant in this process, with an initial emphasis on the provision of geographically and financially accessible level 1 coaching courses. These have resulted in an increased number of coaches undertaking these courses. We hope that it will also lead to an increase in numbers coaching in clubs and schools.

AT looks forward to working closely with the Tasmanian Branch of the ATFCA in delivering courses and other support services to coaches. We are pleased to note the excellent range of coach and athlete support sessions and programmes that have been delivered through the fine co-operation between the AT/TIS performance arm led by Peter Fortune and the Branch. We remain indebted to both AA and the TIS for supporting and funding our performance programmes.

Similarly, we are delighted with the early results of the re-activation of the AT/TIS State Development Squad programme. Some excellent work has been undertaken by Peter and our Development Officer, Richard Welsh, in this regard, including innovative camp concepts. We look forward to service delivery in this area expanding even further in the immediate future.

The Board has been particularly keen to find ways in which the sport can become more financially self sufficient. To this end it has established and Marketing and Sponsorship Working Group to advise it on increased revenues in these areas.

Major events are, of course, a significant way of generating additional incomes to fund development and grass roots competition programmes. Tasmania was fortunate during the report year to not only again stage a meet within the National Series programme – the Tasmania’s Forest Industries Graeme Briggs Memorial but in addition, two major national championships.

The partnership with the Brighton Council and Events Tasmania, with the assistance of a Sport and Recreation grant, to deliver the 2006 Australian Cross Country and SSA Cross Country Championships at Pontville from 25 to 27 August produced an outstanding event - one that was acknowledged by many visitors in attendance as the best they had witnessed. We would be remiss if we did not specifically acknowledged the contribution of the Council and two of its officers, John Klug and Ben Curley, who did much to ensure that a unique arrangement with a small regional council could deliver a high quality national event, with surprisingly large crowds.

The Australian Road Walking Championships, which were co-staged, but at the Derwent Entertainment Centre at Elwick, were similarly successful with Nathan Deakes setting a new Australian 30km record. The Australian Under 20/Under 23 and Clubs Track and Field Championships were hosted at the Domain Centre in February 2007 in conjunction with the Briggs Meet, again with excellent reviews.

Also during the summer, our two directly run public road events, the Race to the Taste and the Cadbury Marathon were again successfully staged and with increased participation numbers.

In all cases we extend our thanks to the outstanding work undertaken by the various Local Organising Committee as well as the significant numbers of volunteers and officials for these and the many other AT events that were staged throughout the season. In this regard the Board has begun to enter into partnerships with branches and clubs to recognise such contributions through the payment of hosting fees and club grants, to assist with branch and club development and competition programmes.

In a related programme, the Board is looking at ways in which it can direct some of the surpluses generated by the operations of the DAC Function Rooms to clubs to assist with competition, coaching and development expenses. The DAC operations continue to be successful, although this has necessitated some significant expenditure to meet public health requirements and hirer expectations. AT again acknowledges the assistance of the in-house caterer, Anne Burge in attracting business.

The Board has continued to ensure sufficient attention is paid to the Association’s administration, communication, higher performance and competition responsibilities but with improved results coming in these areas and the increase in Board size, we have been able to begin to address some other areas.

The financial result for 2006-07 is a satisfactory one, with a small surplus even after allowing for depreciation on the DAC capital asset. This has enabled AT to increase its cash reserves and avoid cash flow problems on an ongoing basis. The Board has consolidated the Association’s bank accounts and increased the amounts held on interest bearing deposit.

The year’s result must be seen in the light of the fact that some once-off income was generated by the staging of the two national events and that we have had to make provision for dollar for dollar funding for the office redevelopment, should we be successful in gaining state government support for this project, which the Board now considers to be urgent.

Nonetheless we have been able to avoid any increases in affiliation and registration fees for the new period, whilst at the same time being able to join with AA to ensure affiliates and individual members have access to an excellent insurance programme. We have commenced a partnership with IMG e- Commerce which provides a new website in addition to on-line registration and event entry facilities. The level of uptake has been beyond expectation but we will continue to work with IMG to make the system more efficient and user friendly.

Other communication systems have been expanded. Media coverage has increased and we acknowledge the Tasmanian media for its willingness to provide exposure for the sport.

AT has continued to pursue initiatives with kindred bodies to grow athletics in Tasmania. Annual regional consultations have been instituted with TLAA and talks continue with the TAL on closer relations. Efforts to draw closer to recreational running groups were not as successful as had been hoped but the door will be left ajar to pursue these possibilities in the future.

In international competition, Tristan Thomas was a member of the Oceania Team for the World Cup whilst Daniel Coleman has the honour not only of competing at the World Walking Cup but being selected as junior team captain. Four Tasmanians were selected in the national teams for the Australian Youth Olympic Festival.

As always Athletics Tasmania acknowledges the much appreciated contribution made to it by its major supporters - the Tasmanian Government, Events Tasmania, the TIS, Tasmania’s Forest Industries, Cadbury, Athletics Australia and its principal sponsor, Telstra and an increasing number of support providers.

Our appreciation is also very much extended to the Central Coast, Hobart and Launceston Councils which continue to make provision for much envied (by other states) facilities for track and field in Tasmania and to the Brighton and Glenorchy Councils for their assist with major events.

6 Macquarie Accounting joined us during the year as our accounting support partner. We thank John Langford and Darren Alomes for the excellent assistance they provide to our staff, the Board and the sport through this generous support.

In closing, on behalf of the Board I acknowledge and extend our appreciation to our dedicated and talented staff members – Fiona Plummer and Richard Welsh. The commitment they show and service they deliver to the sport and its members is of the highest quality. The same very much applies to our many volunteers led by the State Team Manager, Rosemary Coleman and our Website and Competitions Officer, Brendon Hill. We are indebted to each of them.

We can look forward to 2007-08 with some considerable anticipation.

Brian Roe PRESIDENT

2007 CADBURY MARATHON REPORT

The 2007 Cadbury Marathon and Cadbury Half Marathon were major successes.

The day of events was complemented by the Freddo 5km and Caramello 2km Fun Runs. Both these events proved to be popular, as many participated. Unfortunately due to the major race commitments of officials on the day, results were not recorded for either of these events and they became a true fun run.

There were 63 entrants in the full marathon and 180 in the half marathon – on the day a 50% increase in participants.

The headlines following the event were of Hanny Allston breaking the women’s course record by over 22min, running 2hr 46min 32sec. As the winner, she took home $650 prizemoney, plus $300 bonus for breaking the course record.

Cadbury continue to be a great supporter of the event, increasing their sponsorship this year. Their in kind donation of product, facilities and resources on the day is almost incalculable.

A post event briefing with the police has made us look at closing a lane of the Brooker Highway in 2008. This has positives and benefits. Positives are that it may increase numbers competing as the course will become safer. We will also get increased publicity for the event

The date set for 2008 is January 6. To avoid a clash with the Hobart Gift, we have approached Hobart Athletics Club to look at possible joint initiatives and a possible rescheduling of the Carnival to the Saturday evening.

Many thanks go to Colin Oliver for his efforts as our new Race Director.

Richard Welsh DEVELOPMENT OFFICER

7 DEVELOPMENT OFFICER’S REPORT

My first day on the job was at the Athletics Australia annual conference in Melbourne on 28 June 2006. It was a great start to a career in athletics, as I then bounced into Tassie inspired for my new life.

My second day in the office involved a road trip to Symmons Plains for the Secondary All Schools Cross Country Championships, at which I thought every student in Tassie was at. It was a fantastic way to meet many of the people I would be dealing with in the sport and was a great introduction to a Tasmanian winter also. I then moved onto assisting with the Tasmanian Cross Country Championships, the Southern Inter High Cross Country and then it was straight into organizing the massively successful Australian Cross Country Championships, followed by the Tasmanian 5km Road Championships.

By the time all of that was over, I had to stop and realize if I was ever to get some development work done, or was I just going to be organizing events. So I shifted my attention towards visiting some schools and drumming up interest in the SKO. I had never attended one of these before, as my school of 1100 in country was never invited….. shocking really. Although I lost about 2 years of my life during the Southern round at the Domain, I witnessed a sensational night of school athletics and saw how good the SKO is. I can proudly say that with 59 teams entered in the 2006 SKO, Tasmania gets the second most amount of participation in this program, which is sensational. My goal for SKO 2007 is to have 80 teams involved, including a round in the North West.

Then the track & field season was in full flight. Thanks to our tremendous young throwers, I became more interested in their disciplines, inspiring me to become the 8th best shot putter in the state!

I continued to visit schools towards the end of 2006, meeting teachers and promoting the All Schools Track & Field state wide. I’ve had many trips to Launceston and the North West for competitions, school visits, meetings and to compete in events myself.

Seventeen of the AT/TIS Development Squad athletes participated in the SCAT Christmas Carnivals, assisted by a small support grant. An Open Forum was attended by approximately 20 people in Devonport and then a coaching clinic was attended by 30 at the Burnie Gift, organised by Peter Fortune and myself.

January was a busy one with the Cadbury Marathon, then a trip as team manager to Sydney for the Australian Youth Olympic Festival, where we had four Tasmanian athletes competing. A week later, 30 of the AT/TIS Development Squad athletes headed to Bicheno for a gruelling training camp. Many had never eaten so much healthy food, or trained so hard before, however all left enthusiastic and inspired.

It was full on track & field in February, with much of my time being taken up with the Tasmania’s Forest Industries Graeme Briggs Memorial Athletics Classic, in conjunction with the Australian U20/23 Championships. It was a brilliant three days of competition. I have never worked harder or longer, but to see so many of Tasmania’s and Australia’s best athletes competing, officials officiating, coaches coaching and thousands of spectators watching was overwhelming.

During March I had the opportunity to attend the Melbourne A-Series working in the media section for Athletics Australia. This was fantastic personal development as I got to see an athletics event from a completely different point of view. A week later I went to Brisbane for the Australian Championships and Youth Match to work in the media section again. It also doubled as a chance for me to spend time with our under 18 team.

The season concluded with the Tasmanian Track & Field Championships. This was the first time I had attended this event, however from all reports the atmosphere was greater than previous years and the season ended on a high.

Athletics Tasmania is beginning to gain some real momentum. With the support of everyone currently in the sport, our overall numbers will to increase and more fun will be had by all .

Richard Welsh DEVELOPMENT OFFICER

8 ATHLETICS SOUTH REPORT 2006/2007

It has been an extremely busy year, which resulted in many positives, both for athletes and officials alike. There have been many excellent performances by our athletes spearheaded by Donna MacFarlane, Hamish Peacock, Daniel Coleman and Sam Crosswell, but also supported by many others.

We also showcased the competence of our officials when we hosted the Australian Cross Country Championships, the Graeme Briggs Memorial Meet, the Australian Under 20/23/ Club Championships and finally the Australian Masters Championships at Easter.

Our officials are noted for their ability in organising and conducting first class meets, and the above were no exception. I sincerely thank you for your continued commitment.

Under the leadership of Peter Keenan and his small dedicated group of officials our Winter Competition continues to prosper. Congratulations to Northern Suburbs and Sandy Bay Harriers for taking out the men’s and women’s premiership respectively.

Well done to Grant Page and Elyse Jenkins for being named the Male and Female Winter Athletes of the Season.

Our Track and Field season was one of the most successful in many years. Congratulations to Eastern Suburbs who were extremely successful over the summer months, making a clean sweep, winning the men’s, women’s and Combined premiership.

I would like to acknowledge the many athletes that made themselves available to represent the South and also to Rosemary Coleman and Denise Morey for co-ordinating and managing our teams and also to all the clubs for their support throughout the year.

Congratulations to our many athletes that were selected in State and National teams.

Thanks to our major sponsor Bennett’s Petroleum we have been able to subsidise our athletes to various meets, and also purchase new equipment for the benefit of athletes and officials alike. Thanks also to Telstra, the HCC and our many other sponsors for your continued support.

I would like to acknowledge the appointment of Peter Fortune, TIS Athlete Program Manager and Athletics Tasmania’s Development Officer Richard Welsh who both show a great passion for our sport and already their results have been positive.

We received much media coverage during the year and our thanks must be extended to Mark Worley for his support.

Without the tireless efforts of Toni, Debbie and Joan in the Canteen we would not be in the position to provide the quality of equipment to our athletes, and also a special mention to Jim Morgan for the early morning starts in providing equipment for the school carnivals.

A big thank you to Len Powell for his great contribution and support over many years. We will certainly miss him on the Board.

Thank you to Darren Alomes and Nicole Morris. Nicole is taking a well-deserved break from officiating - she has been an outstanding official over the past eight years.

Finally I would like to express my thanks to each member of the Board, especially my right hand man Wayne Mason, and I look forward to working with our new Board to achieve another successful year.

Helen Lee EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

9 NORTHERN BRANCH (NBAAT) REPORT 2006/2007

I begin my report by thanking everyone who has assisted the efforts of the Northern Branch during the past year. All our officials and helpers are volunteers and their commitment is greatly appreciated. Finding officials and helpers seems to become more difficult each year. If everyone can perform a small task the Branch will run much more efficiently.

I have singled out three of our officials for special thanks as they have been recognised with awards by the Branch

Helen Moir, the Branch Secretary for the past two years and prior to that the President of the Northern Branch for a significant number of years has been nominated for Life Membership. She has been efficient and effective in her role as Secretary as well as being the main organiser of the Launceston Athletic Carnival and the Australia Day Carnival and Fun Run. She is the Executive Officer of the Northern Athletic Centre Board and deals with all the bodies who hire the Centre and the Branch equipment. She has given me great support in her role as Secretary and for many years was the backbone of the Northern Branch. Her input of time and effort is huge and I thank her for her outstanding efforts.

Judy Casey was the joint winner of the Bob Becker Memorial Award and has served as Canteen Manager for a number of years. She has organized the canteens not only for Northern Branch events but also at events for other Athletic Centre hires. This has been one of the most significant sources of funds for the Branch to buy new equipment and replace equipment. Judy also organizes the trophies for our trophy night which is quite a significant procedure. Thank you Judy for your work it is greatly appreciated.

Charmaine Colbeck was the other joint winner of the Bob Becker Memorial Award. She has been a key field event official at the Northern Branch for many years. She organizes the officials and recruits helpers from the spectators at Northern events and ensures that the field program is held according to the program. She has officiated at the Sydney Olympic Games, Melbourne Commonwealth Games and numerous Athletics Australia events as well as Athletics Tasmania events statewide. She also arranges social side of many of the function that the Northern Branch hold. Her contribution is highly respected and hugely appreciated by both the athletes and the Northern Branch. Thank you for your wonderful work Charmaine.

To all the other officials who I have not mentioned I thank you for your great work and fantastic contributions.

Earlier this year it was announced that the Northern Branch had been allocated the 2007 School Sport Australia Track and Field Exchange which could involve up to 1000 competitors from all over Australia. This is a tremendous recognition of the hard work and ability of our Branch to run events as well as the first class facilities that we have at St Leonards.

The Northern Branch has again successfully conducted the State final and the Northern regional round of the schools KO competition. We held the State combined events and 10000 metres State Championships as well as the Intra State matches for Athletics Tasmania. The Northern Branch also conducted the State Independent Schools Carnival for SATIS.

The Athletics Tasmania Track and Field Handbook has been reintroduced this season thanks to a strong show of support from the Northern Branch and the majority of its clubs.

The Northern Branch website and the online registrations have been developed and are now fully functional thanks to Mark Smith and Wim Vaessen.

We conducted our Northern Championships on two twilight meets this year. We took entries online on our website for the first time for these championships.

The computer based interclub entry/results system is now finally fully functional and we should be able to use it extensively next season.

Congratulations to Daniel Boatwright and Joshua Harris on their selection in Australian teams for the Youth Olympic Festival in Sydney in January 2007.

10

Our outstanding athletes this year were Danielle Dwyer and Todd Hodgetts. Junior winners were Hayden Brass and Kate Walters. Well done to these and all the Northern athletes that competed this year.

One problem we have had this year has been the lack of a regular announcer. We hope to rectify that situation in the coming season.

Thank you to all the athletes, officials and helpers who have made this a successful year.

. Andrew Willis PRESIDENT

NORTH WEST ATHLETIC CLUB REPORT 2006/2007

I will start by thanking all officials and volunteers, without your efforts at working bees and interclub meets throughout the year we would not be able to function, well done!

The past year has been marred by repeated break-ins and theft of club property from our clubrooms and canteen facilities, which have resulted in a considerable loss to the club, with repairs, replacement of goods and upgrading of security costing several thousand dollars. Thank you to Phil Clayton for your work in securing the buildings after these events and installing security measures to hopefully identify the offenders.

Due to work commitments Trent and Kathy Nicholls will have a lesser involvement with the club next season. Thank you both for the contribution you have made in making the club a success, while we will still be seeing you at interclub, your involvement at committee meetings will be greatly missed. Hopefully Trent can secure a job closer to home in the near future.

On a brighter note the performances of NWAC athletes (including masters) at both national and state levels continue to impress, congratulations to all of you. Some of the more notable performances were Melissa Kay, Tasmanian record for women’s 100 metre of 11.61 seconds, winner of the 100 and 200 metres at Tasmanian Championships and Morgan Whiley, women’s 400 metre Tasmanian Champion as well as winning the Sydney round of the Telstra A Series 400 metres.

Through a partnership with the Cancer Council of Tasmania Relay for Life we have been able to secure much needed additional storage space in the form of a 6 metre shipping container, this has been located on the site previously occupied by our old 16 foot container, which has been placed at the western end of the complex adjacent to our existing 6 metre container.

I would also like to acknowledge our club sponsors, Simplot Australia for continuing support of the Simplot North West Schools games, BJ Joinery for supplying and installing the new bench top and cupboard space in the canteen, Simons Carpets for supplying and installing new floor covering in the canteen and to club patron Gerald Oldaker for his continuing support.

Leigh Monson PRESIDENT

11 STATE PERFORMANCE REPORT 2006/2007

2006/07 has been a year that has indicated a number of positive developments within the sport. The Institute program has been re-established initially with six athletes: Donna MacFarlane, Graham Hicks, Tristan Thomas, Kate Pedley, Ryan Foster, and Daniel Coleman. In late 2006, after a series of excellent performances that saw him selected for the World Youth Championships, Hamish Peacock was added to the list of scholarship athletes. Unfortunately, three of these athletes, because of illness or injury, missed the domestic season but we are looking to them to make up for it in 2007/08.

Donna continues her progress as a top international level athlete with great performances during the domestic season over several distances and was duly selected for the World Championships team for Osaka. After the report period ended, in May and June she won in Doha and finished second at the prestigious Bislett games in Oslo. Graham went over 60m several times during the season and Daniel improved all his personal bests in Race Walking and represented Australia in the World Walking Cup in Spain as well as winning the National U18 title and All schools.

Institute athletes were supported during the domestic season by several athletes who did well in National Series and A Series meets and the professional carnival series. In particular, Sam Crosswell, Melissa Kay, Morgan Whiley, and Grant Page had excellent seasons with Melissa achieving a new state record at 100m. In addition, at the National All Schools in December, our junior athletes achieved many personal bests with a number winning medals.

An ongoing series of clinics in conjunction with the ATFCA were commenced with visiting coaches supported by Tasmanian coaches. In June 2006 Peter Lawler conducted a throws clinic in Hobart, which was well attended by our coaches and athletes with an interest in the throws. Reflecting the growing status of javelin and hammer in Tasmania, this clinic was followed up with another very successful throws clinic in Launceston during November headed by national U17 event coach in hammer, Sean Carlin again with Peter Lawler focussing on the Javelin.

In February, national sprints coordinator, Paul Hallam conducted a one day sprints clinic which was also very successful and well attended. During May, national U17 javelin coach, Lindsay Burgoyne with two Victorian athletes conducted a javelin clinic in Hobart in conjunction with a throws meet where all three World Youth javelin throwers including Tasmania’s Hamish Peacock successfully achieved their World Youth pre departure standards. With the support of the ATFCA, and Bennetts Petroleum, the TIS will be continuing this series.

The AT/TIS Development Squad continues to develop as a concept and we have now had two camps during 2006/07. In January, a successful general camp was held in Bicheno, and in June this year, during the new report period, an equally successful camp aimed at endurance athletes was held at Coles Bay. During 2007/08 the squad will be rationalised and new standards will assist in ensuring that talented developing athletes will be targeted for development. The appointment by Athletics Tasmania of a Development Officer has been crucial to this programme.

I believe that 2006/07 has generally been a very positive one for elite athletics in Tasmania and augurs well for further progress in 2007/08. The TIS remains committed to working with AT and an equally committed group of athletes and coaches to ensure that Tasmania continues its development.

13 TRACK AND FIELD REPORT 2006/2007

Athletics Tasmania’s 2006/07 season was once again action packed from start to finish.

As always, October saw a plethora of schools events statewide including regional Schools Knockout meets which were great successes. The Southern SKO saw 35 teams go head to head, and special mention must be made of Ogilvie High School which had a total of 5 teams in the junior girls division, and Rosetta High who fielded 5 teams across 3 divisions, further emphasising that this meet is not only the domain of the independent schools which have been training up for the SATIS meets. The northern SKO saw 20 teams compete, including 5 teams from St Patricks College.

The Tasmanian School Athletics Games, formerly known as the All-schools were held in Hobart in the first weekend in November, and whilst the throws and middle-distance events showed particularly strong competition, many events were not of the same depth. This showed that a major emphasis must be undertaken to somehow revitalise this meet to ensure the atmosphere and the number and depth of competitors approaches that of the more successful schools meets held in the state. This will be an important project for the AT Development Officer, Richard Welsh, who was appointed during the year.

The State SKO Final was held in Launceston on 7 November and the honours were shared between both northern and southern schools in gaining selection to move on to the National Final. The National SKO Final saw Tasmania’s teams represent the state with pride, with St Virgils College winning the Junior Boy’s Plate competition.

The National All Schools in Sydney were again a success for a small but strong team, with four Tasmanians becoming national champions (Daniel Coleman, Daniel Boatwright, Hamish Peacock and Huw Peacock) and a host of other medallists.

The majority of pre–Christmas competition in Tasmania focussed mainly on interclub, with the major intrastate competition being the Clubs Championship, which was held in December in Penguin. North Launceston won both the senior men’s and women’s competitions, and Newstead Harriers won the combined boys and girls under 16 competitions.

Through initiatives of AT, in particular Richard Welsh, a larger number than usual of registered athletes, including a number of the AT/TIS development squad, competed in the “Christmas Carnivals” (the Tasmanian Athletic League), allowing many athletes to experience this form of the sport, many for the first time.

Intrastate matches for senior and under 18 teams were held in Launceston in January (a fortnight apart) and unfortunately this showed a lack of depth of the sport in the state, as many of the under 18 athletes backed up in the senior match. Again, a commitment was made by AT to try to revitalise this meet for future years.

The weekend of 9-11 February saw a massive weekend of athletics in Hobart, with the Tasmania’s Forest Industries Graeme Briggs Memorial Athletics Classic held for the second year as part of the National Series Meets. The 2007 meet was generally well received although the turn out of “big named” international standard athletes could have been higher. On a positive note, the middle distance and throws events in particular, were as strong and competitive as that of any meet held in the country this summer. Support from sponsors, particularly Tasmania’s Forest Industries helped make the meet a great success, providing promise and encouragement for 2008, an Olympic year. Also held on this weekend were the National Under 20/23 Championships and the National Clubs championships. The assistance of everyone who contributed to this weekend as a volunteer or official is duly recognised and warmly appreciated.

The 2007 State Combined Events Championships in Launceston were an improvement from the previous year, and also saw a number of very competitive interstate athletes make the trip down for much needed competition. The state 10000m track championship was held this weekend also with modest entry numbers and a commitment was made to look at the programming of this on the calendar to endeavour to boost this.

14 As is traditional, the local 2007 season culminates in Hobart hosting the Tasmania Track & Field Championships in March. Entries and performances were generally good and the standard encouraging, although as always there is room for greater depth across all age and event groups.

Donna MacFarlane and Hamish Peacock were awarded athlete of the meet awards, a fitting end to a very successful season for the two most successful athletes of the summer.

The outstanding contribution of all officials and administrators at all levels, who make it possible to stage all of the competitions statewide is acknowledged, as there would be no sport of Athletics without this contribution.

Brendan Hanigan TRACK AND FIELD COMMISSIONER

ATHLETES’ COMMISSIONER’S REPORT 2006/2007

As an Athletics Tasmania Board member, the 2006-07 season was reasonably short in duration for me as the position of Athletes Commissioner was not filled until the beginning of December. As an active track and field, and cross country athlete for the past 11 years, I saw this as a great opportunity for me to give something back to the sport.

My activities as a Board member during the 2006-07 season have included:

. Using the Athletes Feats as a way of introducing myself to Tasmanian athletes and providing them with my contact details should they want to discuss anything with me.

. Discussion with athletes regarding age determination for State records – with the consensus that the current system remains unchanged.

. A member of the Uniform Review working group. Under the hard work and guidance of Rosemary Coleman; Jo Cherry, Richard Welsh and myself, have been busy looking at ways of making our current State Uniform more affordable and practical to our sport and State. We all look forward to seeing the final product and official unveiling of the uniform.

I am retaining my position on the Board for the next 12 months where I am looking forward to meeting with many more athletes. I will keep on bringing the athletes’ point of view to the Board and will continue to liaise with athletes to ensure they have input into the future running of our sport.

On behalf of the athletes of the Tasmania, I would like to thank all those who put their time and effort into athletics in Tasmania. There are far too many people to name, but please know that your efforts do not go unrecognised and they are certainly appreciated.

16 OUT OF STADIUM 2006/2007

The 2006/07 out of stadium season was highlighted by significant increases in entries for both the primary and secondary schools cross country and of course the outstanding staging of the Australian Cross Country and Road Walking Championships and the School Sport Australia Cross Country and Relay Championships at Pontville and Elwick at the end of August.

AT’s two promoted events, the Race to the Taste and the Cadbury Tasmanian Marathon Day both grew again in 2006-07. AT’s thanks is extended to all involved in their delivery but especially Brendan Hanigan and the OVA Club for the Race and our new race director, Colin Oliver for his innovative work on the Marathon. Our administration officer, Fiona Plummer, as always is to be congratulated for her excellent co-ordination of both events.

RACE WALKING REPORT 2006/2007

Once again another winter walks season has passed and another about to begin. Despite lower than average numbers, we all enjoyed the past season.

The Race Walking Club congratulates Daniel Coleman on his qualification and subsequent selection in the World Race Walking Club, which was held in Spain in May last year. Daniel although just missing out on a pb, was the first Australian home, where he came 42nd and had the added pleasure of being selected junior team captain by his peers for the junior squad of walkers.

We had hoped that we could broaden our member base throughout the State, and although we sent information regarding Championships etc. this was unsuccessful. We did however have three young boys join us from the North for our State Championships and subsequent Nationals in August.

Daniel Coleman attended Lake Burley winning the U18 event. Unfortunately due to cost we were unable to take a bigger contingent of walkers to the Carnival, but we were successful in taking five walkers to the Melbourne Federation Walks, which were a great hit. The Federation walks are for walkers of all abilities, and are a great way to introduce walks races to young people.

The State All Schools and State Championships were well attended by all age groups. To our athletes in the master’s age groups, thank you for your participation and continued dedication of our winter walks, you are an inspiration to our younger walkers, and need your participation to encourage them to continue. I would like to especially thank David Moore for both his participation as an athlete, and his help in judging for special events.

I must thank our small body of parents for all that they do each week throughout the season. Without them, we would not be able to provide assistance to our walkers. In particular this season I would like to thank Maria Wiggins and Ian Holloway for their commitment. Thanks to Tracey Parry for her assistance in finding providing a sponsor Norske Skog, for the tents.

Our appreciation also to Aileen Slater who without her continued dedication, experience and love of coaching for our athletes, we would be much the poorer. Thanks also to Wayne Fletcher and Rene Sluyters for their support, expertise, knowledge and friendship in all aspects and to Athletics South for their continued interest and involvement with the walks.

Finally I must say that our season went off with a bang when we held the National Road Walks at the Derwent Entertainment Centre in August. To all the athletes who walked, and to those who assisted with the organization and in officiating and team management - what a great result!

Particular congratulations to Brodie, Shannon and Brodie (our Northern boys) on their silver medal in the U14 Boys Teams event, to Chase and Lynette for their bronze and silver medals and to Daniel for successfully defending his U18 8km national title. Congratulations to Wayne Fletcher on his appointment to the World Athletic Championships in Japan this year.

So as we head into another winter season, I wish all athletes, coaches, judges and parents the very best, and look forward to next season. Our new website has been recently unveiled, so take a moment to have a look, thank you to Ian Holloway for his assistance in the site.

Rosemary Coleman PRESIDENT - Race Walking Tasmania

19 AT & FCA (TASMANIAN BRANCH) ANNUAL REPORT – 2006

1. LIST OF OFFICERS: PRESIDENT: Max Cherry VICE PRESIDENT: Kevin Alomes SECRETARY: Peter McDonald TREASURER: Tamara Allender

COMMITTEE: Darren Alomes (Resource Co-ordinator) Sonia Laduzko Damian Lawler Rex Morriss Evan Peacock (Newsletter Coordinator) Peter Turnock Rita Whitehouse (Course Coordinator) EX OFFICIO: Peter Fortune (TIS SPC)

2. MEMBERSHIP: Branch membership at December 31 2006 was 60 (79 at December 31 last year).

3. COACHING COURSES:

Level I Courses: 3 Courses were held in the latter part of 2006. These courses marked the movement of Athletics Tasmania into the provision of coach education as part of Athletics Australia’s desire to take control of coaching/coach education. Candidates nominated by clubs had their course fee of $90.00 paid for by Athletics Tasmania. AT also agreed with our branch to pay for all course expenses such as manuals, presenter’s fees, etc. Coaches satisfactorily completing the course could choose to become members of ATFCA (but there was no compulsion). There were 22 at the southern course, 12 at the northern course and 10 at the north western course. Thanks are extended to course supervisors: Wayne Holt (N), Trent Nicholls (NW) and Peter McDonald (S). We also acknowledge the coordinating roles of Richard Welsh and Peter Fortune.

Level 2 Course: A number of coaches participated in Level 2 course event groups. The groups were sprints, hurdles and relays; endurance running & walking and throws. Presenters for these groups were Rita Whitehouse, Max Cherry and Peter McDonald respectively. This means we have 9 new Level 2 coaches and we congratulate the following: Evan Peacock, Darrel Harington, Peter Lyden, Wim Vaessen, Brendan Hanigan, Andrew Shepherd, Andrew Tomes, Lewis Powell, Damian Lawler. Peter Turnock is to be congratulated on adding distance and jumps to the other two event groups he had already qualified in.

4. MEETINGS: The Annual general meeting was held at the Black Buffalo Hotel on March 03 2006. Peter Fortune was Guest Speaker. Branch Committee Meetings were held in January, April, June, August, September and November. The Branch had a representative at the monthly meetings of Athletics South. The Branch was unable to have a delegate at the Association’s Annual General Meeting.

5. COACH EDUCATION: Tasmanian Institute of Sport (TIS) and Peter Fortune – There has been a great effort by both during this year. Peter has been a huge acquisition to athletics in Tasmania! We have benefited from his great experience, knowledge and enthusiasm, especially with the organising and running of clinics. We have had more this year than in any of the last thirty years! As a result, our knowledge is increasing at a greater rate in all facets of athletics! These included:  Clinics/Workshops with the 2006 Briggs Memorial Meet conducted by John Quinn.  Peter Lawler throws and Strength Conditioning Clinic – Hobart - June 17/18.  Brent Vallance Walks Seminar – to a packed meeting room on the eve of the National Road Walks.  Craig Hilliard Jumps/Strength Conditioning Clinic – on horizontal jumps in Launceston in September.  National Distance Coach,Tim O’Shaughnessy – Hobart, October 12.  Launceston Throws Clinic on November 11 and 12 – Peter Lawler and Sean Carlin.  Strength & Conditioning Forum for Coaches – Hobart, November 26..

In addition, Darren Alomes has continued his work building up the reference library and produced a catalogue to assist coaches access items.

20 6. GENERAL: We thank Evan Peacock for the high standard newsletters he has produced. Items have been provided for the quarterly ATFCA NEWS. The Branch made the selections of Athletics Tasmania’s coaches’ awards. The committee is still to attend to the process of refining the selection criteria. Coaches to be recognised during the year were:

Max O’Toole OAM Medal of the Order of Australia (Queen’s Birthday honours) Max Cherry Athletics Tasmania Coach of the Year Evan Peacock Athletics Tasmania Coach’s Recognition Award Max Cherry Athletics Australia Coach of Merit Award

A sub-committee, headed by Evan Peacock and with a considerable contribution by Darren Alomes, conducted a very successful track & field competition during the winter.

We thank Damian Lawler for negotiating a sponsorship with Bennett’s Petroleum on the branch’s behalf.

The Branch has developed an excellent working relationship with Peter Fortune as the TIS Track and Field State Performance Coordinator. We thank Peter for involving the coaches in the developing of the TIS Track & Field Programme for 2006/2007. We again thank him for coordinating the visits of many high performance coaches for clinics/workshops over the past year.

I think that this season has been one of our best ever in coaching and athlete’s performances. I think that coaches in Tasmania all get on well and this makes for harmonious relationship between one another. Of course we all can do better! Be it in planning which can reduce our time base, or in other minor things. So, all the best to all our coaches. It has been a great effort. Let’s keep it up in the coming year.

23 FINANCE DIRECTOR’S REPORT

Year ended 31 March 2007

The fully audited accounts for the year ending 31 March 2007 are now provided for the perusal of members.

I wish to advise that WHK Denison have taken over as auditor for the organisation from this period.

It is pleasing to report that Athletics Tasmania has again completed the year showing a small surplus. This surplus (and continuing surplus in following years) is important for the ongoing improvement of facilities in Tasmania. One of the aims in the 2007 - 2010 Strategic Plan is to generate a surplus over this period sufficient to fund the upgrading of office accommodation at the Domain Facility. This has been estimated at $100,000 at today’s prices.

Major expenditure at the Domain facility during the year has included the installation of a grease trap costing $4,000 and more recently repairs to the air-conditioning ($10,000 in the 2007-08 business year).

The hiring of the DAC function centre has returned over $17,000 and rent from the caterer of over $10,000. This facility is now generating enough funds to cover the general repairs and maintenance plus ongoing refurbishment costs. The increased usage of this facility is reflected in the increased hydro charges shown in the financial statement - a proportion of this cost is yet to be collected from the onsite caterer. The recent installation of separate metering will assist in the calculation of the arrears to be charged for the 2006-07 year.

Athletics Tasmania held very successful national championships during the year and these received acclaim from both officials and competitors alike. These competitions were conducted at a very high standard and it is again pleasing to report that Athletics Tasmania was able to demonstrate that national competitions could be held whilst returning a surplus to the hosting state.

This has assisted in the funding of the much needed Development Officer position and other activities important to the success of athletics.

Athletics Tasmania has made changes to the management of accounts to both reduce costs to the organisation and improve the rate of interest received on funds in the bank. An additional amount of $40,000 was invested with Tasmanian Perpetual Trustees and operating bank accounts have been reduced to a single account for ease of management.

The loss of the major national sponsor Telstra will create some challenges going forward and Athletics Tasmania is still continuing the search for a major local sponsor however our financial position for the immediate future is sound.

Stephen Foster FINANCE DIRECTOR

24 REPORT ON THE DAC FACILITY

The DAC facility has continued to be an important focal point for activities involving the sport, as well as an important source of income to Athletics Tasmania. The past year has again shown the DAC Facility make a significant return to AT, excluding the depreciation of the venue.

Anne Burge of I’m Back Catering has continued to lease the commercial kitchen and to bring customers to the venue with her range of catering options, with many ongoing clients in both a business and social setting. Despite the increased usage over the past years, there are still opportunities for further usage of the DAC.

Richard Welsh has taken over as the permanent licensee of the venue during the year, after the position was filled on a temporary basis during 2005/06.

One of the limitations to date has been the demands on the AT staff, in order to undertake a multitude of tasks for and within the facility, including taking enquiries and bookings, setting up the room and cleaning before or after bookings. Whilst the income from the venue is important, the appropriate balance must be found in order to maximise the return and minimise the activities the staff are undertaking.

One of the major things the board has agreed upon over the year is the need for a proper business plan to be developed for the DAC, in order to set the way forward for future years and to keep all stakeholders involved and aware of the issues and opportunities for the facility. This will include setting appropriate maintenance and inspection routines and continuing to develop ideas for optimising the use of the venue.

The Board remains conscious of ensuring the facility is accessible as a venue for the athletics clubs and the broader athletics community to use on a regular basis as a home for social, fundraising and administrative functions, all of which are vital elements in the future development of the sport.
