President’s Corner Tim Lyons That's another season done & dusted. As with most seasons, there will be some of us delighted with our performances, some of us a little disappointed and some of us wondering what we were thinking when you pulled on the spikes this year. Whichever category you fell into I hope you'll be back again next season to do it all over again (there is of course another category of those who don't do much because they are getting old and are always injured). The club has continued to grow with almost 200 senior and 680 junior members. Of course success on the track and in the field has come our way but space doesn't permit individual performances being mentioned. At the recent AGM and Trophy Night, a number of athletes received awards and they are listed elsewhere in this newsletter. I do want to acknowledge the contributions made by our club coaches who provide their time and expertise to large numbers of members. We are indeed fortunate to have their services. Unfortunately we lose the services of longstanding middle distance coach, Dave Leeder, who is moving interstate. Dave has been coaching since he was associated with the old Perry Lakes Little Athletics Centre and has nurtured the development of hundreds of athletes over the years. He will be sorely missed and we wish Dave the best of luck in the future. We are interviewing for replacements! I also want to thank your Committee for their work over the season. They are responsible for arranging social events, scholarship grants, fundraising and coaching. Sally McCormick has been a terrific club secretary/ uniform officer and I want to thank her for her efforts. I hope that members will support all fundraising efforts next season. That will include the Corporate Mile Event, which will be held in October 2013. The Club faces a significant financial challenge as from the end of the 2012-13 season. For the first time we are being charged for ground usage. I anticipate this will add at least $5,000 to the Club's expenses over the next 12 months. We will need to find those extra funds if we are to maintain the same level of support for members and coaches. We need to raise more funds, for example, through the sale of clothing. If you don't have one of the white long sleeved polos, then now is the time to buy one. We have the support of the Friends of UWA Athletics who have generously allowed us to retain the revenue from future sales of the fabulous Club history published late last year, "The Fat Man's Odyssey". The committee will organise other events throughout the season designed to relieve you of some cash, so please support those efforts. ! ! "!
