Chairman’s Report

The 2018-19 financial year was extremely busy for the club, but I am pleased to report that it was successful, from both financial and developmental perspectives. The financial result for the year was excellent given the inconvenience experienced during the club refurbishment works. Most of the credit for this must go to Chris Bennett and the team from BBN Constructions who worked closely with the club to minimise disruption. The club achieved an operating profit for the year of $281,749 compared to last year’s $188,483. The bar income was up $86,693, gaming income down $1,884, the greens’ costs up $12,368 due to the re-introduction of a Bowls Development Officer position and administrative costs down considerably. All good results, allowing for the general downturn in gaming income. In last year’s report, I detailed the progress of the mooted Infrastructure Plan that was nearing the tender stage, with costings to be presented to the AGM for approval. If approved, construc-tion was to start in October last year. Well, all the planning in the world could not prepare the Board of Management for what was to come. From October to January, the plans that the Board had thought had jumped through all Council hoops, encountered obstacles almost daily. By December, the project architect, Ken Down, in total frustration, turned the project from a development project into a rectification/refurbishment project to avoid Council requirements that jeopardised the entire project. It turned out to be a master stroke. The only downside to this strategy was that it made the exercise extremely ineffi-cient in that BBN Constructions had to work largely within the existing footprint of the club and not the planned demolition and construction. The project was finished in May with generally universal approval from members. The contract came in at $796,450 ex GST. A number of extra, long-standing problems, identified during con-struction, were addressed at another $26,870 ex GST. The club now has toilets, locker rooms and an outdoor function area the envy of most other bowls clubs. I can also report that, as directed by members, the club has in excess of $500K in term deposits as a contingency fund and in excess of $300K in a term deposit as a reserve operating account in the event of hard times. That all behind us, the Board has budgeted this financial year to make the outside function area sun and weather protected. Other projects have been identified in this year’s budget, including new seating in the bar and dining areas, which, I am sure members will agree, won’t come a mi-nute too soon. There will be spending on gaming machines as well, to provide the latest gaming technology to maximise the appeal to patrons and minimise the current decline in gaming in-come. Also, in last year’s report, I expressed some optimism in finalising the new lease arrange with Council. I have kept members updated on progress on this matter throughout the year, express-ing a deal of frustration. The Board has recently met again with local Councillor, Steve Robinson and raised the matter again. At the time of writing, there has been some action, so again I hope I have a positive outcome to report to the AGM. The achievements this year would never have been reached without the energies of the multi-tude of volunteers within the club. From the Board of Management Directors, Bowls Division members, coaches, umpires, greens assistants, raffle sellers, social activity volunteers and eve-rybody else that I see doing all sorts of odd jobs around the club. The level of this activity is then directly reflected in the bowling participation rates. In short, people want to be at the club. The Board of Management has had an exhausting year, due mainly to the frustrations involved in completing the club’s refurbishment project. I have kept all members abreast of the problems encountered, but we got there. Deputy Chair, Carole Belsham, House and Property Director, Graeme Sargent and Finance Director, Terry Saravanos were at the forefront of this outstanding achievement.

Bowls Division Directors, Liz James and John Lennon provided the key role of representing the interests of the most important activity of the club, lawn bowls. Bowls has again gone from strength to strength with ever increasing club participation and visitor numbers. This has been un-der the stewardship of Division Presidents, Dawn Rasby and John Lennon. The other major con-tributing factor has been the outstanding greenkeeping excellence of ‘Dipper’ and Michael. The Board’s recognition of the importance of bowls to the club was the engagement of Tim Phillips as the Bowls Development Officer (BDO), a position the club has experimented with before, to co-ordinate and promote this growing activity. I can assure you, Tim’s enthusiasm for the position takes some keeping up with, but that can only be a positive. Unfortunately, Sponsorship and Promotions Director, Allan Hill resigned during the year for health reasons, but I am hoping these have been overcome and he may be convinced to resume this role. Tim Phillips has been assisting in this role as there is some overlap with his BDO responsibili-ties. The sad aspect of this year’s AGM will be the missing nomination of Graeme Sargent. Graeme has been an integral part of the Board for the past 10 years and will be missed. I have never met a person of 80 years with the drive and energy of Graeme. The only positive aspect of Graeme’s re-tirement is that I think he will be somewhat satisfied. For the entire 10 years on the Board, Graeme has advocated for the development of a master plan for the future development of the club. This has been a laborious task with any number of obstacles, but he oversaw its fruition and subse-quent construction, albeit a compromised version due to Council intransigence. I wish Graeme a happy and restful retirement, but I think I will only get one of those two wishes. The operational administration of club has again been in the professional hands of Club Manager, Neil Clelland, Secretary, John Barnett and Faye McLaren. Neil is currently enjoying long service leave after 28 years at the club. He went through all the highs and lows of the club and came out relatively unscarred and with a couple of generations of friends. He is now in the process of finding a way not to come back to work and by the look of him at the moment, he may be on to some-thing. Whatever the outcome, well done Neil. Before Neil left, he identified an exceptional prospect to take his place, in Wendy Fifield. The Board engaged Wendy to act in Neil’s absence and as all members have witnessed, she has very quickly introduced new technology, processes, staff and efficiencies. Consideration of her recom-mendations now take up most of the Board meetings, but none of the Directors are complaining.

Support for Crackerjacks Kitchen has reached new heights with Caterer, Ash Lucas, providing constantly changing, exciting menus. The club loyalty program will soon be introduced to the din-ing room which will only make dining at the club even more inviting. The financial success of the club is very much dependant on dining patronage as, in general, diners also support the bar and gaming facilities. As members are aware, I assumed the role of Chairman accidentally and never meant to be long term, but I have nominated again this year as I still have a little unfinished business. After the tur-moil of the past two years, 2019-20 will be a consolidation year with overdue capital replacement and maintenance planned. With the club now having a fresh, new look, I have a suspicion the club is on the verge of a new, exciting era with the nomination of new Directors and engagement of new, key staff. This brings fresh energy and ideas. I ended last year’s report by stating that 2018-19 would set the future direction of the club, one way or the other. I think that has been achieved in the most positive way. Greg Brown Chairman

OVERALL OPERATING EXPENDITURE was $97,545 lower than last year, mainly due to costs savings associated to the Infrastructure Plan. CAPITAL EXPENDITURE amounted to ($974,774) which was ($629,947) more than previous year, mainly due to costs associated to the Infrastructure Plan. OVERALL PROFIT/ (LOSS) was a loss of ($136,702) which was $140,644 favourable than last year. This included depreciation of ($403,792) and ($58,479) write-off of obsolete assets.

House & Property Annual Report 2018/19

It has been a busy portfolio during the past year with most of the time involved in the proposed infrastructure Project with our architect Ken Down and numerous consultants leading up to accepting a tender from BBN Constructions (Bli Bli Nominees) to build the project from September last year. One of the Council’s conditions by approving the plans in August 2018 was the is-sue of the stormwater run-off. After dialogue with two of Council’s Departments their proposals were unacceptable as our Club could be liable for unspecified unknown drainage costs so it was decided to reduce the proposed works back to the existing building area. This decision resulted in the project becoming a maintenance and upgrading task. Fortunately BBN were pre-pared to accept the down-sizing and the tendering costs were adjusted accordingly with the completion by Easter this year.

The finished project cost $875,095 (Inc GST) resulting in new Men’s and Ladies Toilets, 3 new locker rooms, upgrading the dis-abled toilet (which was no longer compliant), providing a ramp from the interior of the Clubhouse to the BBQ area, creating a meeting room with BBQ preparation facilities and enhancing the area for table tennis and functions.

The kitchen Combi Oven had never been by law connected to the existing grease trap and a larger trap was installed by BBN as part of the project costs. The southern end of the Clubhouse around the loading dock was repaired and rendered and a new dock built. This was included in BBN’s costings. To avoid the possibility of extra stormwater entering the parkland the yard was not bituminised for parking.

135 new lockers were purchased to replace the lot for the ladies and 2/3 rd of men’s as well as 72 new chairs and 50 stools for the activities and DOSA areas. All paid for out of the club’s general revenue.

A new cool room was installed in the kitchen as the previous one cost $5,680 in repairs in the past 12 months and its condition was rapidly deteriorating. The new one cost $13,950, plus a fee for having a temporary cool room during the connection period. The kitchen was closed for a few days.

Other Capital Expenditure included a new mower for the Greenkeeper costing $9,200.

The Club surrounds suffered major damage when a car careered through the eastern fence of No1 green, across the green, stopping in the concrete fence along Elizabeth Street. It demolished a shelter, a seat, and a portion of both fences and a sec-tion of the line of Shadex adjacent to Elizabeth Street. A successful Insurance Claim for damages covered the repairs to the concrete fence, fixed by Chris McDonald, the metal fence by Mick Japundza, the aluminium seat by Rob Hanson and Shadex replaced the entire length of the damaged shades.

The Solar System output was a concern throughout the year and one converter (we have two) was replaced in July 2018. Reg-ular loss of output continued and it was discovered one panel had been broken by a thrown empty bottle and other panels were failing causing a converter to cease operating. This situation resulted in the replacement of all the panels under guarantee from the original manufacturer. It was also an opportunity to repair and repaint the entire roof with a given 10 year warranty.

In July this year Shadex installed a line of shades along the southern end of No3 green which was salvaged from the damaged section of No1 Green.

A new 1800 high loop-top aluminium fence was to replace the deteriorating wooden fence and iron shades bordering No3 Green but on the eve of construction Council insisted on them approving the replacement. Council subsequently approved the application but included conditions unacceptable to the Club. These conditions included a different design and colour from what had already been purchased. They also insisted that a strip of concrete be laid under the length of the fence. Greg Brown, in a letter to Councillor Steve Robinson, appealed to Council to reconsider the imposed conditions. Subsequently they only insisted on the concrete strip. This was acceptable as we intended to concrete sections under the shades anyway.

General Maintenance was carried out, washing down the eves and blinds of the DOSA on a 6 weekly basis and the Clubhouse carpet and tiles were cleaned in May.

Sadly, we lost our reliable Repair and Maintenance man in bowler Paul Thurecht who passed away suddenly last November. Rob Hanson has been Paul’s replacement and is doing good work.

Finally, due to my age, I am retiring from the Board and this is my last report after 3 years as House and Property Director.

In particular, I would like to thank Greg Brown, fellow Board Members (over the years), wonderful Staff in Administration and behind the Bar, for their support throughout the duration of my time on the Board.

There have been many challenges along the way but I have been fortunate to have my partner Ruth Raguckas as my reliable secretary and computer “Guru” as essential support throughout.

The CBBC is a great Bowl’s Club (I’ve been involved in 3 others) and it is in reliable hands with Greg Brown continuing as Chairman of the Board.

I sincerely wish every Member the very best, and may the Club continue to prosper.

General Business: • The Tuesday game was discussed and general consensus was it stay at two games although there was a

suggestion that the first game should count for something. It was noted that this would be difficult for the games room.

• Etiquette or lack of it was also discussed. It was felt that new bowlers needed to be taught the etiquette of the game and this is not happening. It was felt that this should be part of the coaching program

• The ‘Dine and Bowl’ game on a Sunday afternoon is not attracting bowlers and the ladies were asked to sup-port this.

• The 8s competition sheet has been put up in the games room. Those interested were requested to put their name down. It commences on the 2nd February.
