2011 Annual Report

The 2011 AGM also saw the presentation of the 2011 Annual Report.

You are encouraged to have a read, as it will give you an insight into how much work goes into running of the Club, as well as allowing our beloved leaders to reflect in the year that was.

The highlight (at least in terms of the content of the report) has to be the reporting of a profit! This is largely off the back of a great year of takings through the Canteen; thanks to Kirsty, Gemma and Kate for a fantastic effort.

Status of New Pavilion

Council advised Rob Willoughby on Friday that the final assessment of our tender for the use of the new Pavilion in 2012 has been pushed back to December. Based on that conversation we we remain confident in securing a permanent licence agreement, which should mean a great year to come. Imagine life out of the temporary facilities, and able to sit back in the best grand stand in Subbies Rugby!

Stay tuned for details.

VOTE: CLUB CAPTAIN & COMMITTEE MEMBERS

Waverley Rugby’s elected Club Captain, Josh Lose has sadly decided to leave Rugby Union and play Rugby League. Leigh Draper has also decided to step down from the Rugby Commitee as a member this week but will continue to play for the club. We’d like to thank Leigh for his hard work over the off season and remind him to get the beers in first game of the season.

So this means that there will be a REVOTE!!!

Next Thursday, March 31st after training – Those who would like to either vote, nominate or put themselves forward for either Club Captain or as a Committee member are invited to do so. Anyone can apply for either role and those that would like to help out with the committee would be much appreciated as there it still lots to do!

If you’re interested make yourself known to James McMillan (aka Sneakers) or one of the coaches at training.

Get down!

Annual Report and 2011 Committee

Further to Saturday’s announcement, the 2010 Annual General Meeting (AGM) has been held, and congratulations must go to the following people who have been elected for the 2011 Committee.

President - James “Sneakers” McMillan
Senior Vice President – Nik “Spud” Buchanan
Senior Vice President – Bob Burgess
Club Captain – Josh Lose
Secretary - (No nominees – position to be filled – See below for more information)
Treasurer - Jerome Wood
Social Secretary – Kirsty Jordan
Management Committee -Leigh Draper
Management Committee – Rennie Mihaka
Management Committee – Emily Walpole

Full of new blood, the new Committee is set to make 2011 one of the best yet, bringing new ideas, new levels of enthusiasm.

With so many new faces on the Committee, everyone will be trying to get up to speed as quick as possible. Importantly, most of the retiring members of the 2010 Committee have promised their assistance in ensuring a smooth hand over, and providing input, where requested, throughout the season.

Most importantly, it was the biggest turn out we’ve had at an AGM in a long time (far eclipsing last years impressive numbers, with Two Life Members in attendance, Ray Eardley and Dennis Beaver in attendance.

Like last year, it was also great to see so many nominations for all Committee roles, with votes needed to decide most positions.

Secretary’s Role to be Filled

Unfortunately there were no nominees for the Secretary’s position. For the moment, this means the role will be left vacant, with the other Committee Members to cover that function in the interim.

The role of Secretary, is an important one for the Club. As the interface between other Clubs, Subbies, Council, and the membership in general, it is critical that this role be filled.

If you know anyone who would be interested in the role, please get them to contact someone on the new Committee. Once the new Committee has settled in, they will consider exactly how to progress this item, but it probably will be a Special General Meeting to vote on a potential candidate, or they will hold an Initial General Meeting at the start of the new season. Stay tuned for details.

The business of the 2010 AGM will be:

A copy of the Club’s Constitution is included below (please note the By-Laws are not current)

Current Committee Intentions

As per earlier news items nearly everyone currently serving on the Committee have indicated they will not be seeking re-election for 2011.

Heading into our 40th year, the make up of the Committee will be particularly important. To limit the impact of a complete turn over on the Committee, the existing Committee have committed to ensuring as smooth as transition as possible, and to help out as much as they are able to throughout the year.

Sponsors Wanted

2011 will be a massive year for the club given the 40th Anniversary celebrations, meaning Waverley is able to offer potential sponsors more than we already can. So if you’re interested in Sponsoring, know someone who may be, or can help out chasing sponsors, please get in contact with The Secretary to discuss.

Sponsorship discussions are already well progressed with a number of organisations, and your assistance will be further icing on the cake.

Volunteers

If you do not want to commit to a Committee role, why not become a volunteer for the club?

This year, we’ll particularly need a dedicated group of people for the Social Committee. Working with the Social Secretary, you will help put on an array of events throughout the year, including:

- Open Night (held in February to welcome new members)
- Ladies Day
- Family Day
- Back to Waverley Day (the Old Boys Day)
- Presentation Night
- 40th Anniversary Dinner (and associated celebrations)
- Other events (Trivia Nights, theme nights, whatever takes your fancy).
- Golf Day

You don’t necessarily need to commit to helping run all of these. Maybe, just take responsibility for running an event or two.

There are also a heap of other things needing doing around the club. See some suggestions here.

2011 What Will it Bring?

Congratulations to Waverley’s 4th Grade, for making their second consecutive finals berth. While the weekend’s 14 to 12 point victory over Newport marked Waverley’s 39th win in a row, it was also the closest result in the last two seasons.

After the dominant display the last two years, Waverley is confident it will still be a shoe in come Saturday week, but is relishing a potentially tight finish; something missing the last two years.

At the same time, the winner of the Preliminary Final this weekend will take some heart from the closeness of the result, as they know Waves are beatable if the stars align.

The Flying Fifths have also tentatively finished their season for the year, with a 14 – 12 point victory over Petersham at home. It was another good result by Waverley’s social heart, and if it wasn’t for a rough middle part of the season, Waves could well have taken its maiden Halligan Cup title.

Tentative finish? After a few beers on Saturday a few of the boys expressed interest in one final game. We’re looking for some more oppo, but it is unlikely at this stage. Read More→

2010 Committee & Annual Report

Congratulations to the following people, on being elected to the Committee for 2010.

- President – Tivoli Endemann
- Senior Vice President – Gerd Gerhands
- Senior Vice President – David Kavanagh
- Club Captain – Andy Collingridge
- Secretary – Mark Ross
- Treasurer – James Barton
- Social Secretary – Nick Eder
- Management Committee – Bob Burgess
- Management Committee – Karin Christie
- Management Committee – Sharron Dick

With a great mix of new blood, and returning members, 2010 is set to be a great year.

Most importantly, it was the biggest turn out we’ve had at an AGM in recent years (with three Life Members in attendance, Ray Eardley, Tivoli Endemann and Barry Kennedy).

It was also great to see so many nominations for all Committee roles, with votes needed to decide most positions. We’re certain that those that were unsuccessful will be assisting in some capacity too.

This is all on top of a number of people (Greg Dalton, Johann Kruse and David Whetton) who have already agreed to help out in some dedicated areas.

Of course, we’re still looking for extra bods to help out in one shape or another.

With Coach Selections already well progressed (we’ll be making the first announcements shortly), you can be confident in what 2010 will bring.
