The Board: We have welcomed Marc Frewin to the Board and said farewell to Michele Cox whose contribution to PNZ was valued by all Board members. We wish Michele every success with her next book, her PhD and her employment with NZ Women’s Soccer. The remainder of the PNZ Board was stable throughout the year and continued to provide solid strategic governance, ensuring the focus of PNZ is positive and appropriate. All Board Members are volunteers and their efforts, commitment and support is very much valued and appreciated by me. Post Athens: This time last year I was reporting on the success and positive exposure from the Athens Paralympics. The past 12 months have been very much about implementing the recommendations from debriefs, management reports and revising our strategic direction. The Board and Staff are geared toward Beijing 2008. Financial: The support of SPARC and the NZ Academy of Sport has again provided much needed financial certainty to our operations, our athletes and coaches. The commitment of SPARC’s funding toward Beijing and specifically toward ‘campaign’ funding for Beijing 2008 allows our planning and preparation to gain and maintain momentum over the next two years. The Lion Foundation has been a long term ‘friend’ of PNZ and we are indebted to them for their ongoing financial support. Simon Grant: The sudden death of Simon Grant has shocked and saddened us all and we extend our sympathies to Simon’s family, friends and loved ones. It is appropriate that we acknowledge one of our up and coming athletes, someone who was experiencing the trip of a lifetime and achieving a personal ambition of representing NZ, at the IPC World Shooting Champs and that we remind ourselves to continue to be the best we can be just as Simon was doing with his Shooting career - may he rest in peace. STAFF: My thanks to Craig and the PNZ staff for their ongoing commitment to the organisation and to all involved with Paralympic Sport. Simon Peterson Chairman / President Chief Executive Report This report captures the key activities and financial information pertaining to the Paralympics New Zealand (PNZ) 2005 / 06 year ending 30 th June 06. A highlight of the period under review was the moving of the Paralympics New Zealand National office from temporary accommodation generously provided by Fletcher Building Ltd to a new permanent location in Greenlane, Auckland. This was formally celebrated by an official opening ceremony with the Honourable Trevor Mallard, Minister of Sport and Recreation as the major guest. It is hoped that the new offices will become a destination for everyone involved in disability sport and individuals will be proud to visit and view the memorabilia on display and use the resources available. 4 A number of athletes and teams travelled in a variety of sports through the period under review and these are reported further on in this document. The major event of the year was the Torino 2006 Winter Paralympic Games. On behalf of PNZ, I thank Gerald Davies, Chef de Mission and Jane Stevens who coached the team. These two committed volunteers put in many hours of work to ensure that athletes Adam Hall and Ant Field were able to fully focus on their competition at Torino. Results from the Torino Games did fall below expectations however both Adam Hall and Ant Field are young athletes with a great deal of potential for Vancouver 2010. The quality of competition at this event again demonstrates the rapidly rising level of performance within elite Paralympic Sport. Congratulations to Paralympics New Zealand board member and head skiing classifier Gillian Hall who was chosen as an alpine skiing classifier for the Torino Paralympic Games. With Torino now behind us, focus has switched to planning for the Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games. To date we are well on track both operationally and we are extremely pleased with the appointment of Duane Kale as the Chef de Mission to lead the Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games team. Duane has a long and distinguished background as a competitor, team manager and PNZ board member and will be a fantastic leader for our New Zealand Paralympic Team. Grant Sharman’s appointment to the role of Beijing Performance Director focusing on supporting and developing true Beijing Medal contenders and their coaches is also very positive in ensuring PNZ has done all it can to have athletes in the best possible position to deliver medals in Beijing. In a major step forward, PNZ has entered into agreements with Athletics New Zealand, Bike NZ, Boccia New Zealand, New Zealand Shooting Federation and Wheelchair Rugby New Zealand where PNZ invests in these organisations to deliver high performance programmes for elite disabled athletes. PNZ supports this initiative with funding, sports science and medicine support plus the engagement of the Beijing Performance Director. I thank the CEO’s and High Performance personnel in each of these organisations for their support and particularly to those at Athletics, Bike and Shooting for understanding that disabled athletes are members of their organisations first and foremost. As mentioned by Simon Peterson in his Chair report, the very tragic death of Simon Grant while competing at the International Paralympic Committee Shooting Championships devastated everyone associated with the team, the New Zealand Shooting Federation and Paralympics New Zealand. Our deepest sympathies are with Simon’s family, friends and loved ones. This year also saw the passing of Neroli Fairhall MBE, a great Olympian, Paralympian, Sportswoman and role model. Again we offer our condolences to Neroli’s family and those closest to her. Paralympics New Zealand Board The Board held 6 face to face meetings and 4 teleconferences during the period under review. At the 2005 AGM, Ms. Michele Cox resigned from the Board. We thank Michele very much for her very valuable input and wish her well with her very busy business and personal schedule. Also at the 2005 AGM Ms. Sandra Blewett and Mr. Simon Peterson were re-elected to the Board. Mr. Peterson was reappointed as Chair by the new Board. I wish to thank Simon Peterson and the Board for their time, effort and excellent governance of the Organisation and support to myself and the PNZ staff and office over the past 12 months. 5 PNZ Staff and Contracted Service Providers The staff numbers at PNZ have grown in the 2005-06 year with two new positions established. The establishment of these positions was considered vital to deliver on the objectives of the PNZ Strategic Plan. Wade Chang has taken the role of Operations Officer and Grant Sharman has been contracted to a part time role as Beijing Performance Director. Grant will work directly with those athletes and their coaches who have been identified as strong medal candidates for Beijing 2008 to ensure they have everything they need to deliver at Beijing. Val Hall, Administration Manager celebrated six years of keeping the PNZ office running efficiently and effectively in the period under review. I thank Val for her ongoing commitment to PNZ. Helen Murphy, Manager High Performance has now been with PNZ for 4 years and continues to drive the high performance programme to ensure our athletes and coaches are provided the best possible support and advice. Fiona Allan joined PNZ as Operations Manager in June 2006 replacing Vaughan Cruickshank.
