Watson *Resigned +Deceased 26 October, 2008 3 Black Diamond AFL Inc 2008 Annual Report PRESIDENT’S REPORT To say that this season has been a baptism of fire would be an understatement. Firstly, we lost out President, Chris Arnold, as he resigned in April on the eve of the season. A number of directors, Andrew Druwitt & Ian Kingwell followed suit. Eventually the General Manager, Scott Ledwidge, also tendered his resignation and finished in June. I would like to thank Scott for his efforts in the league over the past 18 months and in particular the past four which has been a very difficult situation for the league. The Board, on a recommendation from AFL (NSW/ACT) Regional Manager, Glen Waide, we appointed Les Hornery to the position. In a very short time Les grasped the job in both hands and has proven to be a most welcome and respected addition to our league. For the bulk of the season, due to the aforementioned resignations, we ran the league with a board of 3. This had some within the league calling for the AFL (NSW/ACT) to take over the running of our competition, a suggestion which I opposed most vehemently. As has been the way in previous seasons, we appointed David McCredie and Peter Tulk to the Board. Whilst they may not have been able to attend a number of our monthly meetings they were able to provide valuable input via e-mail. Ian Kingwill also rejoined the board for the last three months (August – October) and has continued to be a valuable member of the group. The season began with Woy Woy pulling out of the league due to lack of numbers. Nelson Bay struggled to field a first grade side and Singleton were in the competition then out of it and finally back in. Lake Macquarie stepped up into the first grade ranks and found their first year to be difficult but managed to remain semi competitive throughout the season. This year for the first time in many years we saw a good fixture with clubs teams being split not needed. There were changes to the original fixture after Woy Woy pulled out and then the changes with the Singleton Football Club. In an attempt to help struggling clubs the board introduced a change to our by laws to allow those clubs having the bye to “loan” players on a match by match basis on request. This proved to be a popular decision and there were no more forfeits following the introduction of that change to the rules. Later this year I (or whoever is President) will be attending a meeting of all leagues affiliated with the AFL (NSW/ACT) where a generic set of bylaws prepared by the AFL's Bob Robinson will be high on the agenda. Our “Player Loan” bylaw is one which he wishes to incorporate in this new booklet. 26 October, 2008 4 Black Diamond AFL Inc 2008 Annual Report Following the successful season launch at Tulkaba Park where the committee and members of the Lake Macquarie Football Club did such a great job the season got under way. From the outset, Cardiff & Newcastle City stood out as the teams to beat. While Cardiff managed to go through the season unbeaten, a well drilled Newcastle City team were just too good in both the Preliminary and Grand Finals and were the worthy winners of the 2008 Black Diamond Cup. Unfortunately during the season and more importantly the finals series some clubs and their supporters were guilty of breaches of the league’s code of conduct. We received numerous letters of complaint about the behaviour of the supporters from one club in particular and this club will be called before the board to answer these charges. We are trying to make our code the most respected football code in the region where families can enjoy the day out. Loutish behaviour detracts from these efforts and will not be tolerated by the league. During the season we also participated in representative football; firstly against Sydney and then in defence of our title in the State championships in Wagga. While we did well against the Sydney team (this is destined to be a regular fixture in future seasons) our efforts in Wagga were disappointing to say the least. Rather than dwell on this, a representative section is included in this annual report. Once again we enjoyed the continuing support of Ron Oeser and the Carlton Draught company together with Star FM & Prime who provided so much at functions and during the season. Their support has been invaluable and we look forward to renewing the partnership in 2009. Unfortunately, sponsorship for the league has been difficult to obtain. We have had to rely on club affiliation fees and purchases to be able to continue to pay our General Manager to run the league. While our competition manages to get good press coverage on the Central Coast we continue to find negativity in the press in the Newcastle region. Prime TV has given good pre match coverage but NBN and other media outlets have been less than cooperative towards our code. This is a hurdle we will have to overcome in the coming seasons if we wish to be able to attract decent sponsorship dollars. Finally, as we head into our AGM and elections, it is sad to note that we have only received one nomination from within clubland for the board. Does this mean all are satisfied with our performance? I tend to believe it is a case of indifference. STEVE SMITH President 26 October, 2008 5 Black Diamond AFL Inc 2008 Annual Report GENERAL MANAGER’S REPORT I started with the league in round 10 as the new General Manager after Scott Ledwidge tendered his resignation. I spent one day with Scott going over the schedule and I thank him for his time bringing me up-to speed with the work load. I wish him all the best in his future endeavours. On my second day I introduced myself at the Presidents Meeting. I found the clubs to be welcoming and I started to form a relationship with the key people within each club. Over time I met more club people and by the end of the season I was no longer a stranger. My background is in IT with 20 years in a Geographical Information Systems company which keeps me away from my two young children. I left my “career” and I have spent the last seven years at home with the kids. I started working with the AFL two years ago after having played for Parkes in the Central West league in my late 20’s. With the AFL I worked with kids in schools and had great fun with all the smiling faces and could see the rise in numbers in the junior clubs. I was then approached by the AFL and the BDAFL Board to join the league and have been working hard to get all parties on the same page.

  • Aspects of Modern Egyptian Arabic: Its Structure, Humor, Proverbs, Metaphors, Euphemisms and Common Expressions. PUB DATE 2000-00-00 NOTE 90P
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 448 600 FL 026 522 AUTHOR Greis, Naguib TITLE Aspects of Modern Egyptian Arabic: Its Structure, Humor, Proverbs, Metaphors, Euphemisms and Common Expressions. PUB DATE 2000-00-00 NOTE 90p. PUB TYPE Creative Works (030)-- Information Analyses (070) LANGUAGE English, Arabic EDRS PRICE MF01/PC04 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Arabic; Foreign Countries; *Humor; Language Usage; *Metaphors; Oral Language; *Proverbs; Second Language Instruction; Second Language Learning; *Standard Spoken Usage; Written Language IDENTIFIERS *Egypt ABSTRACT The Arabic language used in Egypt is traditionally divided into two major types: classical and colloquial. The idea is that classical or literary Arabic is to be found mostly in formal writing and speaking, whereas colloquial Arabic is used mainly in daily conversation. When it comes to actual usage, however, this distinction is not always clearly observed. In this study an attempt is made to describe the general characteristics of the language, its humor, proverbs, metaphors, euphemisms, and common expressions as actually used by educated Egyptians in both oral and written communication. Examples are provided from recent periodicals, newspapers, and popular literature. A well-organized sampling of different kinds of modern Egyptian Arabic writing with the literal English translation and the English language equivalent is provided--for example, the Arab proverb "in repetition there is learning" and "practice makes perfect." (KFT) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document. 1( ASPECTS OF MODERN EGYPTIAN ARABIC 4,14t.t '1 Its Structure, Humor, Proverbs, Metaphors, Euphemisms and Common Expressions Naguib Greis U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION ()thee of Educational Research and Improvement PERMISSION TO REPRODUCE AND EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION DISSEMINATE THIS MATERIAL HAS CENTER (ERIC) BEEN GRANTED BY is document has been reproducedas ceived from the person or organization originating it.
