PRESIDENTS MESSAGE 1.1 Season 2013 Season 2013 is best described as the “Year of the Dragon” with success achieved both on and off the football arena. The Brunswick Junior Football Club fielded five teams in the Yarra Junior Football League (YJFL) and in only its fourth season, had three (3) teams make the finals. The U10 and U13 teams then progressing to a Grand Finals, with the U13 winning back to back Premierships. Premiership success is literally the “icing on the cake” as we have much to be proud, including 125 registered players representing the Club, an inclusive and family‐ friendly culture blending almost 125 families from the local community. With a turnover in excess of $62,000 this financial year this Club continues to grow, due to the efforts of all our volunteers. The foundations for strong growth in player numbers reveals that most players are returning again for season 2014 and the expectation is that 150 players will take to the field with teams from Tackers to U14 representing the Club. I am also pleased to announce that we have confirmed all coaches for season 2014. 1.2 Swisse Quality Club Program The Swisse Quality Club Program is designed to set and maintain standards in club administration throughout community football clubs. Instituted in 2005, the program recognises and rewards community football clubs for achieving a base standard of club administration through to levels of excellence. By applying for Bronze, Silver or Gold accreditation clubs can share in a range of prizes. The BJFC has achieved bronze level accreditation in the Swisse AFL Quality Club Program. Our goal is to reach Gold level by 2015. 5 Brunswick Junior Football Club – AGM 2013 1.3 Treasurer for 2014 At out last committee meeting we approved of the employment of our Treasurer Wendy Canobie for Season 2014. Wendy has been the Treasurer since our inaugural year (2010) and the demands and compliance have grown each year as the club expands. The management of all clubs funds is vitally important and you will see the level of detail and analysis that is now provided to the Committee is significant (see Section 4 + audit statement). The input of all expenses, incomes, banking, payment invoices and the reporting of these transactions is in the order of 8-10 hours per week and will continue to grow. 1.4 Committee 2014 Over the past four years, the Committee has comprised mainly of parents from the BJFC foundation years of 2010 and 2011 and they have done an absolutely fantastic job at getting the club up and running. With the increase in the number of teams and players at the club, for 2014 we have an initiative to increase the number of people on the Committee with participation of at least one and preferably two delegates from each team, thus increasing the number of members on the committee up to 10 people. We know there are many talented people out in the parent community who have a lot to offer our club and we need a selection of people with different skills and experiences to be involved in the running and growth of our club. The range of matters is diverse whether it be to assist in ground management, organising social functions, administration or sponsorships and fundraising, web site management or managing club communications. This is a chance for you to be involved in the overall operations and strategic direction of the club to ensure the club continues to grow as well as meeting the needs of all age groups. The Committee meets once a month (usually a Wednesday night at the Grand View for Dinner). Parents which already undertake Football Coach, Assistant coach and Team Manager roles are not expected to also volunteer for Committee roles given the high volume of work they undertake during the year. 6 Brunswick Junior Football Club – AGM 2013 1.5 Strategic Plan Over 2012 and 2013 the BJFC Committee have been working on the BJFC Strategic Plan. The Strategic Plan is a comprehensive document which is intended to be a blue print for the on-going operation and strategic direction of the BJFC for the next five years. It covers the following key areas: - The purpose statement of the BJFC - What are the key guiding principles of the club? - What goals do we want to achieve? - How are we going to achieve our goals? - How do we measure our success in achieving our goals? - Who is the club person responsible for achieving these goals? - The timeline for achieving each of our major goals - How much money and what will be required to achieve our goals - A detailed action plan The final draft version of the BJFC Strategic Plan for BJFC has been available on the BJFC website since 29 September 2013 for community comment. When endorsed at the AGM it will become the key document for the Committee to manage the on-going operations and growth of our club. 1.6 Survey Results The BJFC 2014 Club Survey results have been uploaded to the website. There was an excellent response, with 108 surveys filled. The response to the BJFC 2014 response was large (108 surveys filled) and mostly very positive. The greatest response was from the under
