Certainly the year started on a better note than the previous year, with many of the issues associated with the registration of players via the IMG database resolved. Whilst we have been using an on-line portal for player registrations for a number of years now, our ability to extract data is still limited. We will continue to persevere, since accurate player data is critical for our funding submissions, our interactions with the different levels of government, for seeking sponsorship, and for communicating with clubs and members. Our winter fixture season was as busy as ever, with the following activity: • Ran hockey fixture competitions for juniors, seniors and masters, at four turf venues and two grass venues, for over 3,300 registered players. Player numbers have increased marginally over both junior and senior divisions. • Sent 20 teams to compete at State Championships for Super League, Opens, U18, U15, U13 and Masters as well as 4 teams competing in the U11 Southern Cross at Downey Park. The ability of these teams is evident in that top two placings were achieved in five of the six divisions. We have actively worked with clubs to ensure inappropriate sideline behaviour is minimised, and comprehensively dealt with when it occurs. Clubs are committed to managing their spectators, reinforcing good behaviour, and dealing with bad behaviour. We will continue to work with clubs to address this area of concern, and I am pleased to note that this year has seen an improvement. We continue to work with Brisbane Hockey Association (BHA) and Kedron Wavell Services Hockey Club (KWSHC) to administer the Brisbane Hockey Management Group (BHMG), which manages the Burringbar turf facility.
