This will provide a wonderful insight of the club to any new future players , coaches , sponsors and international cricketers. You will notice in the year book we have asked the captains to nominate outstanding individual , pair and team performance so the club can identify the clubs greatest 100 performances in the clubs history. In the near future once the club has identified the greatest 100 performances in history the process will take place to identify the greatest performance of all time. I would like to thank the many people who helped contribute to the production of the year book there are to many to mention but I would like to especially thank Carrington Shepherd. Next season will be very exciting for the club as it will be the 30 year anniversary of the club winning its first ever premiership , 20 year anniversary of the club winning its 4th premiership in 5th grade and the 10th year anniversary of the club winning its first ever 1st grade premiership. If there is an error in this publication please bring it to our attention so we can update the clubs history. I would like to dedicate this year book in the memory of Carol Prince who passed away this year. I hope you enjoy the 2010 /11 year book.

We managed to beat the eventual wooden spoon winners in round 6 but after nine rounds were still two and seven and firmly in the relegation zone. An excellent win against arch rivals Whitfords in round 10 was enough to see us keep our position in the A grade – al be it by one wicket (or eleven runs) over the entire season. The second and third sides won the minor premiership and together with the 8th grade, Colts and One Day Division 3 side played in the finals. We made two grand finals (8th Grade and Colts) and lost both of those. As a club we have not had a single premiership in two years despite fielding eight teams and making the final four on nine separate occasions. We no doubt have the depth, and the talent, to compete but have not delivered on our potential. As most of you are aware we have appointed Mark Hullett as non playing coach and Ben Christie as captain of the A grade for next season. With these two gentlemen heading up the cricket department, and the continued support of Val Steenholdt and Mike Kapiteyn I am confident that next year will be productive for the club. Financial: As you can see from the treasurer’s report we have had a great year financially. I must caution however that some of our expenditure is cyclical and we have enjoyed the benefit of not spending on a number of major items. The decrease in bar profits continued. The incoming committee needs to work on strategies to get members back to the club. Turf: I reported last year that the City of Melville were about to conduct an “Active Reserves Needs Study” and that Shirley Strickland Reserve would have a Master Plan undertaken for it. The study was finally submitted to council last month. I understand that the recommendation to council is for a second oval to be established on the northern side of the complex which will give the reserve two cricket / football ovals. The prospect of having two home games at Stricko is an appealing one. The study also observed the ACC’s desire for a turf wicket and noted that they could not see a downside to this. The biggest concern is the allocation of water. After many years of talk I believe the time for a formal application to council has come. We will however need to get this right and if we need to spend money on getting the application written up correctly then we will do so. General: It is with sadness that I include in this report the passing away of Carol Prince earlier this year. Carol was a great supporter of the club and a previous winner of the President’s trophy for her contribution to the club. On behalf of all past and present members of the ACC I extend our sincere sympathy to life member George and his sons on their sad loss. Page 4 PRESIDENTS REPORT “CONTINUED” Thanks: I would like to thank the following for their work and help during the year. Firstly to Val for his dedication and commitment to the smooth running of the nets and also to Lorraine for providing an affordable feed on presentation nights. To Dec for taking on the very difficult task of pulling together a new look side and dealing with some difficult personalities. Thanks also to all the other captains who were very good at get- ting their administrative tasks done on time. Thanks to Michael Kapiteyn, for his tireless efforts in ensuring that we fielded a side every week, and for his dedication to the role as chairman of selectors. Angus Castley has indicated a need to rest from the committee this coming year due to increased family commitments. His contribution will be sorely missed. Thank you Angus for your help and support over the past two seasons. Finally thanks to the rest of the committee for their work and support, in particular to the executive in Scott Curren and Murray Tribbeck. Conclusion: I will make myself available as president again for this coming season, should the members wish to elect me. However, I have always been of the opinion that a club needs fresh leadership on an ongoing basis to survive and grow. I therefore wish to put the club on notice that this coming season will be my last as president. Regards Joe Venter. President.

The clubs overall financial view is we are debt free and have a total of $65,642.93 held in the three Accounts as stated below. 2010 / 11 Asgard Term Deposits Profit & Loss Statement Investment Fund Fund Income $69,667.70 Opening Balance $10,850.80 Opening Balance $22,277.10 Expenditure $55,802.62 Interest $ 644.80 Interest $ 1,465.74 Annual Profit $13,865.08 Closing Balance $11,495.60 Closing Balance $23,742.84 Balance Brought Fwd $16,539.11 Closing Bank Balance $30,404.49 AUDITOR’S REPORT These treasurers report still requires auditing by an independent company or individual as per the clubs constitution. AMPSA TREASURERS REPORT (Applecross Mt Pleasant Sportsman's Association) ADRIAN REYNOLDS For the 2009/2010 financial year, October - September, AMPSA made a profit of $1364. The bulk of this is from club rent and the hire of facilities (club rooms) and training lights. The training lights on both the rugby fields and the football oval are owned and operated by AMPSA. The City of Melville has recently agreed to pay for maintenance on the training lights for the good of all users. Although cheaper for AMPSA this process is much slower. Page 6 CHAIRMAN OF SELECTORS REPORT MICHAEL KAPITEYN Thankyou to Joe and his Committee for entrusting me with this role for the 2010/11 season. My first job was to find another selector. Chris Teede came to mind instantly. He has an intimate knowledge of all things ACC and has always been interested and opinionated on selection matters. Chris was outstanding for the first couple of games, however work commitments ended his position prior to Christmas.
