  • 2011 Annual General Meeting Presidents Report
    2011 Annual General Meeting Presidents Report 2011 brought much change to rugby and presented some challenges to NSW Juniors. Funding was most significantly affected with the completion of the 'Community Rugby hand-back' to the ARU. In prior years, the ARU had funded NSW Community Rugby via a $1.95m grant. This grant was administered by NSW Rugby and NSW Juniors & its members benefited from this grant. With the completion of the funding return, NSW Rugby advised they were not able to maintain the same funding. This has seen a reduction in administrative resources from 3 full time staff to 1 full time employee providing administrative resources to Sydney Juniors. NSW Juniors & NSW Country Juniors continue to be administered by volunteers. The application of Community Rugby funding is now determined by the ARU with little reference to the organisations who are the beneficiaries. The NSWJRU State Championships were again a wonderful spectacle of the talent produced by Juniors development programs. We were unfortunate to lose the sponsorship of the Waratahs, but that did not diminish their moral support and much of the squad attended for presentations and photograph opportunities with the crowd. Thank you to the many rugby dignitaries who attended the State Championships. While their presence is not apparent to the greater public, their attendance is recognition of the importance of juniors to the development of the code. In particular, thank you to Robbie Deans, Gen. Peter Cosgrove, John Mumm, Jason Allen, Peter Medway, John Spana, Geoff Garland, Chris Birch, John Coolican, Bruce Worboys and Will Jeffcott. Having these distinguished guests present to support Juniors as well as helping out with the presentations helps immensely to market our code.
